Energetic Dog

Today I went over to my son’s house to watch their dog while they took the baby to her doctor’s appointment. The husky was crazy as soon as I got there. She was jumping all around and vocalizing. She knows when I come that we are going out on an adventure, or taking a walk. […]

Withered Hand

The other morning I woke up to a very painful right hand. The joint at the base of my thumb was very swollen and I could barely move it. When I did, it was extremely painful. I took some Tylenol during the day, but it didn’t seem to help. That night I didn’t sleep because […]

Getting Out

I met a certain friend several years ago at a grief support group and we discovered that we had much in common. She had been caring for both her parents and both of our fathers had recently passed away. Soon after we met, her mother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. We made it to a […]

Successful Surgery

I was at a friend’s house today and we wondered about another friend who had hip surgery earlier this week. Our prayer group was praying for her and my friend said that she and her husband were praying for her many times during the day. I texted her, hoping to get a response. She did […]

New Adventures

After being together for a couple of months, my brother started off on his new adventure this morning. His dog was super excited to get on the road again. I had been worried about her as she is getting older and struggling to get around and had some stomach problems. When she has issues now, […]

Clear and Confident

I spent some time at the Newman Center today and visited with people after Mass. While I was there a Campus Police officer came in and chatted with the facilities manager. As I was talking with one of the students, the officer came over to the information table next to us and was looking at […]

Better Health

My brother has a great group of friends in the RV place that he stays in the winter. They even have Zoom get togethers when people are scattered for the summer. They are very close and supportive of one another. A couple of days ago, my brother told me about one of the ladies who […]

Joyful Move

I was talking to a friend today who recently moved into an affordable retirement community. The land was actually donated by the adjacent church. They partnered with a local construction company to build the apartment complex. My friend said she is so blessed and happy to be able to live there. She said it’s cozy […]

Not One and Done

At Mass today, the sermon was fantastic. It was easy to understand, down to earth, and made sense. The reflection was mostly based on the Gospel, Matthew 16:21-27. Before this story, Jesus’ disciple Peter had witnessed the Transfiguration and heard God say to listen to His Son. He was also appointed as the “Rock” of […]

Generous Stranger

My brother and I have been selling many items online and meeting up with people for the exchange. It has been working out quite well. This morning we met a gentleman who purchased some electronic equipment. He handed me the money which I looked at and put in my pocket. He told us he had […]
