Bagpipes and Brass
My sister shared a link with us for a concert by the Denver Brass who she had seen before. We tuned into the live performance tonight and brought up the program online to follow along. Being close to St Patrick’s day, the brass group was accompanied by Colorado Celtic bagpipes and drums. My parents recognized […]
Importance of Humor
Today I listened to much of a Conference on dementia to see if I could pick up some more information and tips as my parents and I make our way through this period. One of the speakers worked at a memory care facility and talked about the importance of humor – keeping your sense of […]
Playing Wii
Every night after dinner, my parents and I find something to do to stay busy and awake until bedtime. Tonight we got out the Wii. We took it out a couple weeks ago for the first time in almost a year. We chose bowling as that’s a fun game we can all play together. It […]
“Crossing the Bridge”
I have recently been taking a new caregiver’s class. Tonight I watched a TedxTelAviv talk that was shared. It is an older video, but I thought the message was worth pondering. The psychologist Hedy Schleifer talked about relationships existing in the space between people – the sacred space. She discussed the importance of “crossing the […]
Have To Let Go
I saw a quote today from Rachel Marie Martin that touched my heart, “Sometimes you have to let go of the picture of what you thought it would be like and learn to find joy in the story you are actually living,” I Found God today in a reminder to live the here and now.
Greeted by the Dogs
When we look outside the window from the dining room, we have a view of a particular house. The people who live there own 3 dogs. The youngest one is barely a year old. It has been fun to see her grow from a puppy and it’s entertaining when the people have all the dogs […]

My mom and dad watched part of the retreat again today. At one point the priest said in regards to God as someone, ” . . . to stay with you forever, loving you . . .” My dad turned to my mom and said, “See – that’s me for you.” I got teary-eyed. I […]
Real Super Woman
I heard an incredible story on the news today about a young woman who saved a life, passed a nursing exam, and gave birth all in the same day. Evidently, she was in pre-mature early labor, but was cleared to leave so she could take the exam she had been studying for over 2 years. […]
Promise of Peace
I read a meditation that showed up at exactly the right time. It quoted John 14:27 in this way, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” I left the book […]
Praying Baby
A young woman I know gave birth to her first baby a few weeks ago. It was a time of joy and concern as she was ill which resulted in an earlier than anticipated birth. The baby was then hospitalized for a couple of days. Thankfully, things seem settled now. The new mom and her […]
