Couldn’t Blink
Going to the dentist is perhaps the thing I dread most – it’s hard for me to open my mouth wide, or for very long. Today’s visit was torturous as anticipated, but was a pretty funny story as I look back on it being fully functional. I am very sensitive to any medication. At one […]
Twins Perhaps
I took my mom to a doctor’s appointment this afternoon. As usual, I looked around the waiting room and took notice of who was there. I try not to stare, but I do like to people watch. Sitting near us was an older couple. The more I noticed, the more I realized they looked almost […]
Electric Eel Party
Today I talked with a young woman whose son celebrated his 5th birthday over the weekend. She said he asked to have an electric eel themed party. She wasn’t quite sure where it came from. I thought that was hilarious. She looked on social media and couldn’t find any ideas for decorations and such. But, […]
Birthday Whirlwind
It has been a whirlwind of a couple of days. It started when my oldest son from the east coast showed up at the house on Saturday completely by surprise – to me. On Sunday, one of my sisters, my sons, and I went to the big football game. We got there early to partake […]
Family Surprise
I am not easily surprised. I am usually pretty keyed into what is happening around me and with the people who are close to me. But, I have to hand it to my family today. A few months ago, we bought some tickets to a football game out here hoping that my older son would […]
Ready for Heaven
Today at my exercise class, one of the ladies talked about her grandmother who lived to 92 years old. One evening when the woman was visiting, her grandmother told her good-bye and that she was going to heaven. The woman and those with her responded as most would, telling her that wasn’t true and they […]
Patience in Traffic
Today I had a few errands to run. I figured it would take me about an hour. I left a little bit later than I had intended and everywhere I went there was traffic and road construction. It took me a half an hour to get to a store when it should have taken only […]
Calling Coincidence
My mom has been thinking a lot about my nephew the past couple of days. Today my dad wore his “Navy Grandpa” t-shirt. It has been too long since we have talked with him and even longer since we have seen him in person. Tonight he called. He told us all about his job, his […]
Problem Solving
Sometimes I feel like every day something else goes wrong. It can be very frustrating. This morning we read the meditation from the book, “Jesus Always” by Sarah Young. It said that troubles come to keep us thinking – to keep our brains working on problem solving. If we didn’t have problems to solve, we would […]
Helpful Info and Community
My mom does a lot of reading and stays abreast of current events, nutrition, and medical information. Today she read an article about Parkinson’s Disease that gave her a new perspective of her illness. It said the big problem is that the brain forgets how to do normal things such as walking and even talking. […]
