Bountiful Birds
When we get to the cabin, we always fill up the bird feeders and put them out right away. But the last couple of times, we haven’t had any birds come visit. We have really missed them and wondered why they haven’t been around. Yesterday evening, though, we saw a flock of wild turkeys – […]
Great Unplanned Timing
We made a trip to the cabin today, watching the weather as thunderstorms were developing. We caught just the edge of a storm before we stopped for lunch and saw that it had already passed through. We were pretty happy about that, as it looked like a pretty bad one and we were in the […]
Impressive Dentist
Like many people, I have a great deal of anxiety going to the dentist. Like all the joints in my body, my mouth is small, doesn’t move well, and my teeth are terribly crooked. I have always attributed that with the juvenile rheumatoid arthritis that I had. At my appointment today, I met a new […]
Short One Hand
My mom has been having trouble recently with arthritis in her thumb. It hurts to put any kind of pressure on it and she has not played the piano in a couple of weeks. Yesterday she decided that she would just play with the right hand, so she practiced a duet that her and her […]
Young Love
My dad had a dermatology appointment today. He remembered that when he was a young adult, he had terrible acne. It was treated with radiation or x-rays for quite a while, but unfortunately, it didn’t help. My dad said it eventually went away on it’s own. But, it didn’t seem to bother my mom. She […]
Great Relationships
Recently, I have been placing more intention into my relationships. That may mean reaching out more, opening up myself to new friends, trying to be a better ME, or simply pondering and being grateful for the people in my life. My reflection today from Dynamic Catholic was from Matthew Kelly, “Great relationships magnify the good […]
Faithful Priests
Yesterday in my blog, I told of a friend of mine who is a priest and how he had moved to be closer to his parents. I realized today that there are actually a couple of people who would fit that description. I then also recognized how blessed I am to have had such amazing […]
Loving Tribute
A certain priest and friend has been instrumental in my life and that of my boys. He helped me to discern about moving to help my parents. He traveled a lot and ended up moving to be closer to his parents as well. His mother passed away a few days ago. Today I came across […]
More Enjoyable Porch
The small portable chairs that my parents have kept on their front porch area have been slowly breaking and dwindling. They are also difficult for my mom to get in and out of. Today we decided it was time to get something that worked. I took my mom to the store and found all the […]
Down Under
Today I saw pictures from another friend’s vacation in Australia. Of course the wildlife there was made up of kangaroos, parrots, cockatoos, and koala bears. I get excited if I get to see them in a zoo. I thought about what a beautiful and amazing world we live in with such diverse creatures living in […]
