Three Little Words

Today I was shopping in a store and when I went to check out, there were 3 ladies behind the counter all just giggling away. I put my things on the counter and the woman who was ringing me up asked if I was having a good day and if she could tell me a funny story. […]

The Old Cowboy Hat

Yesterday my parents and I headed on up to their cabin in the mountains for a couple of days. It had been quite a while since they were able to spend time up there other than a quick trip to make sure everything was still working properly. We were looking through things and I found […]

Homeless Awareness One Step at a Time

An amazing young man I know started off on an adventure today – he is walking from his home in Bow, New Hampshire, to Washington DC. It is all to raise awareness and funds for the homeless. He writes that while volunteering at a soup kitchen, he met a man who served in the military […]

Much Needed Support

I didn’t sleep much last night – kept waking up realizing that Goldie was no longer by my side. When I finally did get up, I tried to start a new routine. Within a few hours I had a wicked headache. I went to Mass with my parents – Pentecost Sunday. It should have been […]

Goodbye to Goldie

My poor old dog has been suffering for a while now, and I have been praying to know how best to help her and/or know when to let her go. She could barely walk any more and I have been doing what I can to get nourishment in her as she was refusing to eat. […]

Phone Call and Mail

Today I was going to the post office to drop off a package and my dad said he had something to mail as well. He put together some information for my nephew who is interested in physics. They had a conversation about the subject last time they were together and my dad wanted to share […]

New High School Graduate

Today my nephew graduated from high school. It has been a tumultuous road for him, like it is for most teens. We were even unsure if he was going to make it to the ceremony itself as he was not feeling well. But – he did it. I was so happy I was able to attend. […]

Quality of Life

My poor old dog is continuing on a downward spiral and I have been questioning if I am doing what I need to and/or should be doing to help her through this last stage of her life. I was able to make an appointment with the wonderful vet that we saw last month and took […]

Some Days are Good

I had to run a few errands today and as I finished one and was headed out to my car, I encountered a woman and her 2 children coming out of the Department of Motor Vehicles. They were all very joyful as they held hands and swung their arms. I heard the woman speak enthusiastically to […]

A Good Check-up

Today I took my mom to the doctor for a check-up. Before she went, she wrote down the list of things that she wanted to discuss. My dad jokingly (or not so much) said to make sure to keep the list so he can use it next time he has to go. Her doctor was […]
