Blessed Thrift Trip
Today I stopped by a thrift store to see if by chance they had a spring form pan since I promised my son I would try to make a cheesecake for his birthday this year. As luck would have it, there was one there that looked unused. It was a fraction of the price of […]
A Wreck
Yesterday when we left the doctor’s office, we were all feeling quite good and upbeat from the encouraging words. It was late in the afternoon and the traffic was heavy, so I had to be very aware. As we came upon a particularly busy intersection, the light changed from green to yellow. There is always […]
Appreciate the Doctor
My parents had an appointment with their cardiologist today. He’s such an honest, straightforward, and entertaining person. Both my parents got a good checkup. He talked about the difference between treating someone in their 30’s and someone in their 80’s. He said for those who are older, they have already “won” and every new day is […]
Caring for Kids
One of the participants in my water aerobics class works at the YMCA. I found out today that she works with a group who is starting a respite program for children with autism. The goal is that the parents of autistic children would have a place to bring them for a few hours so they […]
Petite Suite
I went to the philharmonic symphony with my parents this afternoon. We heard the music that my mom found the other day. One of the pieces was Petite Suite by Debussy. I have heard my mom and her friend play that piece together on the piano and looked forward to listening to the orchestral arrangement. […]
Young Entrepreneurs
For the past week, I have been helping my sister get her toffee ready to bring to “Choctoberfest”. She brought her products to a chocolate festival in the spring and decided to participate in this one as well. It was a lot of work getting ready, but the day itself was a lot of fun. […]
Found the Music
My parents used to buy season tickets to the Philharmonic symphony, but the past couple of years they did not due to health issues and missing more than they attended. However, this year, they decided to get them again. In preparation, my mom reviewed the program for this upcoming weekend. She knew that she had […]
Friend Feeling Better
A woman I know has been on my mind and in my prayers. I saw her two weeks ago and she was having some medical issues. I could tell in her demeanor that she wasn’t feeling well and that she was worried. I saw her again tonight and she was looking much better. She said […]
Push Past Fear
My son traveled to England for business a couple of weeks ago and was able to visit London while he was there. He came over tonight and told us all about it. He did his best to pack in as many sites as he could. After one particularly busy day, he was resting in his […]
Stranger’s Cross
Tonight a young woman shared a story of a very meaningful encounter. When she was in high school, she went through a devastating break up with her boyfriend. It left her sad and depressed for months. During that time, she was on the city bus and just looking out the window. A man came and […]
