Selfless Sister
I guess I was more stressed than I realized with everything that has happened the past couple of days as I woke up early this morning with a splitting headache. I could feel the stress working up and did what I could to reduce the toll it was taking on my body, but evidently it […]
Home To Recover
My dad had a very difficult night last night. He had a bad reaction to one of the medications and was seeing and hearing things all night long. He was still pretty distraught when my mom and I got there this morning and his blood pressure was way up. It was a rocky morning for […]
God Is There Too
Well, they did many different tests on my dad today and they all came out normal. Like everything, this is good and bad. Good that there is nothing that jumps out as going horribly wrong. Bad that we don’t really have an answer as to what IS going on. They are working on adjusting his […]
Better and Not
We had made plans to go and stay in the mountain cabin for a few days, but yesterday my mom wasn’t feeling well so we postponed the visit until after she could see the doctor. She has a history of stomach problems and was afraid it was acting up again. Her appointment was bright and […]
Decisions Made
You know that pile of papers that just builds higher and higher? I just don’t understand why it is so difficult to keep up with. I have been trying to work on mine a little every day. I finally got most of them sorted out and got some filed away. Today I got my medical insurance […]
An Amazing Memory

To Know Someone
This morning my parents and I were talking about sleeping habits. My mother said when she was younger, she used to sleep with the radio on classical music all night long. When she was about to get married, she wondered how that was going to work out. She decided that she wouldn’t be able to […]
Perfect Timing
A couple of days ago as I was out walking, one of the neighbors came out with his cute tiny white poodle. She is not quite a year old and full of enthusiasm. She was very excited to meet me and as soon as I started petting her, she rolled over on her back so […]
Contagious Joy
A good friend of mine is a Franciscan priest. He has helped me through difficult times and helped me to make some hard decisions. He has some great adventures and I enjoy following them on Facebook. He shows that being a priest is exciting and joyful. Recently he has been in Rome with several others […]
Reflection, Sorrow, and Grace
Today I gathered up all of Goldie’s things that I thought could be used by someone else. I brought most of them to the vet that we met at first – St. Francis Animal Hospital. I thought from the beginning that this was a very fitting name. I spoke again to one of the wonderful […]
