Live For the Moment
It was a beautiful day today, so I went for a long walk this evening. First of all, I was grateful that I could take a long walk. It has been months since I hurt my hips which set me back. I went by a park where there was a child’s baseball game in progress. […]
Showing Love
Last night my dad was so tired, he fell asleep on the sofa. My mom wanted him to go to bed, but instead she covered him up and played him a lullaby on the piano. My dad woke up momentarily and thanked her for being so thoughtful. Small things, perhaps, but this is how my […]
Can Still Teach
My dad spent 25 years in the Air Force working as a meteorologist. After he retired, he spent 20 years teaching physics at a local college. He also wanted to teach about space, but did not find a suitable college text book. So he wrote one. He has taken groups of people to observatories and […]
The Hand Made Sign
Every time I drive by a certain street corner, there is a man there who holds a hand made sign and waves it as he walks around. Typically, there are too many words on the sign to read while you are driving by. Today I went to lunch with my mom and her friend. We […]

Done With PT
Well, it has been 4 long months since I wrecked my hips trying to do Zumba. I knew it was a bad idea at the time, but did it anyways. Truth be told, I would have ended up in the same situation at some point along the way. When I started physical therapy, I couldn’t believe how […]
Puzzle of Life
I have literally thousands of pictures that I have taken over the years and hundreds of pieces of memorabilia that I have kept. When I moved about 1 1/2 years ago, I just packed all of them in boxes and brought them along. Recently, my sister was looking for some specific photos, so I decided […]
To Be 110
In preparation for my dad’s appointment with the cardiologist today, he put together his chart of blood pressure readings that he takes on a regular basis. It does seem to fluctuate and has for quite some time. He also has been recording his pulse and feeling it on his wrist with his finger. To him, […]
Giving Youth a Chance
Today I helped with a spaghetti supper to help support foster families. This particular activity focuses on the teenagers. I learned more about one particular woman who is a foster parent. In the past, she ran a homeless shelter in the city. She encountered several teenage boys looking for a place to stay. She wanted […]
