Reminder to Breathe
Today as I was doing all the things that need to be done, I started getting in my head about all the other things that also need to be done. Luckily, I had on my Christian Pandora channel. The song, “Breathe” by Jonny Diaz came on. The lyrics spoke to me, “Breathe, Just breathe. Come […]
Perfect Trifecta
Today I was happy to have a few hours to myself. I scheduled the day so I would be able to spend some time in the church. I arrived just a few minutes early for the time for Confession and was actually the first one there. It was nice to have a different priest from […]
Another New Doc
It is very hard to a good neurologist who has good knowledge of Parkinson’s disease. We were blessed to have one of the best in the city for a few years after changing doctors several times. Unfortunately, he retired. But he recommended one of his colleagues. We saw her for the first time today. She […]
Sister’s Gift
My sister has been struggling – especially since my father’s death. She felt like she was unable to continue with the job and routine that she had, so she quit her job in hopes to start anew. Mom and I invited her to move in here to get back on track. Some weeks back, she […]
Surrendering Trees
A friend of mine writes every day about the things she is grateful for. Her attitude of gratitude is refreshing and I look forward to reading her posts as I know I’m going to receive a beautiful outlook. The other day, she wrote a reflection on Fall: “I am grateful for the lessons the trees […]
God, People, Things
My friend, the deacon, gave a great homily today at church. I think it’s great when I get a snippet that I can easily remember. He talked about how important it is to have our lives and priorities set in the right order regarding God, people, and things. First and foremost, we should worship God. […]
Upside Down Mountains
My mom and I went out for a walk this evening just as the sun was starting to set. There was a ridge of interesting clouds just above the mountains. The sun was behind the clouds creating a glowing edge around the top. As we continued on and the sun got lower, a section of […]
Back To High School
This week, my granddaughter has been doing a cheerleading camp with the local high school. Tonight they were all at the football game showing off their talents. I was so happy that my mom felt well enough and wanted to go. I packed up the wheelchair and off we went! When we entered the gate, […]
Sweetest Surprise
My mom was having a pretty difficult morning today. She didn’t sleep well and got her medication in later than usual, so she was dragging and feeling bad. Our friend came over early as normal and brought a surprise. Her daughter had a baby 3 1/2 months ago. She met her here and they came […]
Distant Relatives
For many years, my mom and sister worked on scrapbooking family memories. My mom has probably a dozen beautiful scrapbooks, each with its own theme. They are treasures for sure. Tonight, my grandson came over for a while to keep my mom company while I went to a prayer group. Last time he was here, […]
