Paying Attention
A friend came over for a little while today. She talked about the blessings she has experienced lately and how overwhelming it can be if she thinks about them too much. We talked about how God is always present and active in our world, but specifically in our lives. The important thing is that we […]
Another New Doc
Mom has an appointment today with another new neurologist. It’s been difficult since her past one retired and we haven’t trusted the one she’s been seeing. This doctor was a speaker at one of the Parkinson’s Support group a few years ago. I was glad a friend mentioned his name and that he was taking […]
Couple Appointments
I had a couple of appointments today and tentatively left the house when our friend came to stay with my mom. As I’m still recovering, I have learned that if I move very slowly, I am able to do things. If I try to rush or push too much, I will end up hitting a […]
Grateful For Sister
Today is my sister’s birthday. I am especially grateful for her today. She was away when mom and I ended up with COVID and stayed away for a little longer at my insistence. She knew how much I was struggling though, so she came back to stay at the house, wearing her facemask the whole time. […]
The Big Walk
Mom and I went for a walk today. I mean – a real walk. About 4 times further than I had been in weeks. At first my legs retaliated, but I insisted and kept going. It was actually hard to keep up with my mom, which was very different for me. At the end, I […]
Back At It
My mom’s friend came over today after weeks of not visiting. My mom wore the fancy music lounge pants that she got for Christmas. After a couple practice rounds, they played the Christmas songs. I loved it. It was so good to have a friend over and to hear them play together again. I Found […]
Prepare Ye
For the past week or so, we have been talking about the movie, “Godspell”. We always loved the music and sang a couple of the tunes. Neither mom nor I have the stamina to get to church, so we went downstairs to the big TV. The Mass we landed on was the one from the […]
Still Needed Rest
I was looking forward to feeling better and having more energy today. Unfortunately, a migraine knocked me back down. After a 2 hour nap, I started feeling better. I was so grateful that my sister is here taking care of things so I can rest when I need to. I Found God today in my […]
Almost Back
Yesterday our friend came over to stay with my mom. We hadn’t seen her – or anyone other than my sister – in a month. I got dressed in real clothes and decided to be brave and do a grocery store run. First I thought I should make sure the 2 cars in the garage […]
To Boast of Miracles
I listened to the Gospel reading this morning. It was the story of Jesus healing a man with leprosy and asking him not to tell anyone but the priests to see that he was clean and able to be part of the community once again. The man who was healed could not keep it to […]
Still Finding God
