Successful Surgery
Several months ago, a friend of mine had major abdominal surgery due to a severe infection. Everyone was very concerned about her. She made an amazing recovery, but the surgery resulted in a colostomy. The plan was to allow her to heal, then have another procedure to reverse the colostomy. My friend said that she […]
Long Distance Prayer
Today was the meeting day with my prayer group. However, it was super cold. Not only that, some members weren’t feeling well. One of the gentlemen set up a Zoom meeting and all but one of us was able to attend. It was especially important as one of the ladies had recently experienced a tragedy […]
Finished the Book
Today I finished the book “The Five People You Meet in Heaven” by Mitch Albom. It only took me 4 days, which is unbelievable to me. As I was talking with my sister about it, I think the last full book I finished reading for pleasure was a Nancy Drew in Jr. High School. From […]
Shoveling Relief
It snowed a little last night as a very cold front moves through the area. In the complex where I live, the HOA pays for snow removal if it snows 3″ or more. Unfortunately for me, there was only 1″-2″ outside. I waited to see if it would snow again and perhaps make it up […]
Daughters
My son’s fiancee’s birthday was a couple of days ago. So today I took her and my daughter in law out to lunch. We had a delicious 3 course meal and felt pretty special. My future daughter in law showed more pictures of the wedding dress that she chose, and others that she tried on. […]
Reading
A couple of weeks ago, a friend shared that she had read 34 books last year. I found that to be quite amazing. When I was young, I read well and was way ahead the class. But, in my adult life I have found it difficult to sit down and read. My mind wanders and […]
The Baby Walker
Recently I have been helping a friend as she downsizes her house. I collected a load of snow boots, coats, warm clothes, and blankets from her house and mine to take to a particular organization that gives items to people in need. My friend also had a baby walker that she wasn’t using any more […]
Best in Years
Some friends and I got together for a potluck tonight. Everyone brought something yummy. We all ate and enjoyed conversation and laughter. I talked with a friend’s elderly mom who had a really rough time of it a couple years ago with cancer and other medical issues. She said she felt better now than she […]
Love of Children
A friend of mine is going through a particularly difficult time right now. I went to her house today to visit and help her get some things done. Her 2 grandchildren were over as she was caring for them while her daughter worked. The kids are almost 1 and almost 3. It had been a […]
SOLOS and The Dress
I have been meeting my son and his fiancée for Mass on Sunday mornings which has been such a blessing. Unfortunately, I’m not good at getting there on time. I was very close this morning. When I walked in, there was a woman speaking and inviting people to “Just come and try it out”, and […]
