About the Medals
Today I had a medical appointment. The nurse noticed my necklace and asked about all the medals on it, which is quite a collection. I explained each one to her. I have a sturdy chain that holds a crucifix, a Miraculous Medal, St. Michael the Archangel, and the Guardian angel. Also, after my mom died, […]
Memories of Mom
This morning I was up early and went to Mass right away. I went to the church that my parents and I belonged to many years ago. At that time, my mom played the organ for the choir and her friend was the director. My dad sang and I did also for a few years. […]
Mercy, Not Punishment
It is a common thought and feeling that we aren’t good enough for God. We make mistakes, we hurt others and ourselves sometimes, we are selfish and want to do things our way. And once we discover the love God has for us, we realize how unworthy we are of that. Perhaps we think that […]
Clear Adventure
My friend and I decided to try to take a drive in the mountains this week. However, she cares for her mother and she wasn’t feeling well the day we planned on going. I completely understand that situation. So, we decided to wait. We had the opportunity to go today and took it. My friend […]
Musical Reminder
Today I was reminded of a video I took 2 years ago. It was my mom and her friend playing a duet on my mom’s piano. They were both wearing their “Plays Well With Others” t-shirts. I loved listening to them again and seeing my mom enjoying her music. It made me happy. It made […]
Flowers From the Window
My neighbor and I visited on the porch this morning. While we were there, the lawn guys came and mowed, which led us to talk about our outside flowers and plants. We share the sidewalk, so we can see her house and garden area from some of our windows, and she can see ours. Earlier […]
Piano Music Box
Today I came across 4 piano music boxes upon a shelf behind the pianos. As I thought about the best place for them, I remembered I was going to have dinner with our favorite caregiver tonight. We have been keeping in touch and it was a good time to get together. She was so good […]
Caring Musician
Today I had lunch with our piano friend and another piano friend who we used to see every couple of months or so. She is younger than my mom and her friend and is still teaching piano. She is also very involved in her church and has been for many years. Part of what she […]
Family Fun Time
Last year I planned a getaway for me, my kids and grandkids at a fun family hotel with an indoor water park and other activities. Unfortunately at that time, one son got sick. So I postponed the reservation. I had one year to use it or lose it. Several weeks ago, I made the new […]
Gotta Get Glasses
Over thirty years ago, I had surgery done on my eyes to correct my vision. This was even before the laser surgery. I was so happy with the results and have been seeing clearly for years. It was such a blessing. As was expected, I have been wearing reading glasses for a few years now […]
