Reading
A couple of weeks ago, a friend shared that she had read 34 books last year. I found that to be quite amazing. When I was young, I read well and was way ahead the class. But, in my adult life I have found it difficult to sit down and read. My mind wanders and […]
The Baby Walker
Recently I have been helping a friend as she downsizes her house. I collected a load of snow boots, coats, warm clothes, and blankets from her house and mine to take to a particular organization that gives items to people in need. My friend also had a baby walker that she wasn’t using any more […]
Best in Years
Some friends and I got together for a potluck tonight. Everyone brought something yummy. We all ate and enjoyed conversation and laughter. I talked with a friend’s elderly mom who had a really rough time of it a couple years ago with cancer and other medical issues. She said she felt better now than she […]
Love of Children
A friend of mine is going through a particularly difficult time right now. I went to her house today to visit and help her get some things done. Her 2 grandchildren were over as she was caring for them while her daughter worked. The kids are almost 1 and almost 3. It had been a […]
SOLOS and The Dress
I have been meeting my son and his fiancée for Mass on Sunday mornings which has been such a blessing. Unfortunately, I’m not good at getting there on time. I was very close this morning. When I walked in, there was a woman speaking and inviting people to “Just come and try it out”, and […]
Extreme Life Makeover
I used to love watching Extreme Home Makeover. It always included a feel good story. So, I was happy to see it was coming back. I watched the first episode tonight and it didn’t disappoint. The story was about a family who lost their husband and father, 3 years ago. He was also a pastor. […]
Close to the Broken hearted
Today I watched a video by Dallas Jenkins who is the creator of the Chosen series. He was talking about the apocalyptic fires in Los Angeles and the big question, “Where is God in all this?” I thought he made some good points that gave me pause to ponder. Time and time again in the […]
Christmas Miracle Rescue
I received a Christmas card and letter from a friend the other day who gave an update about her family. I was surprised to hear that one of her adult sons was recently involved in a life threatening experience. I chatted with her a bit today and read a couple of articles about the ordeal. […]
Pool in the Snow
A friend of mine flew into the big city near me yesterday. She was staying at a resort for a conference that was to begin tonight. I was going to go see her, but the roads were too treacherous. However, I was very happy to see the roads were clear this morning and I was […]
Card Game
It was a cold, snowy day today. I got my exercise shovelling this morning just in time for the sun to come out and start to melt a little bit. This afternoon a neighbor invited me over dinner. She made a big pot of chili, which was perfect for a cold day. I went over […]
