Impressive Dentist
Like many people, I have a great deal of anxiety going to the dentist. Like all the joints in my body, my mouth is small, doesn’t move well, and my teeth are terribly crooked. I have always attributed that with the juvenile rheumatoid arthritis that I had. At my appointment today, I met a new […]
Great Relationships
Recently, I have been placing more intention into my relationships. That may mean reaching out more, opening up myself to new friends, trying to be a better ME, or simply pondering and being grateful for the people in my life. My reflection today from Dynamic Catholic was from Matthew Kelly, “Great relationships magnify the good […]
More Enjoyable Porch
The small portable chairs that my parents have kept on their front porch area have been slowly breaking and dwindling. They are also difficult for my mom to get in and out of. Today we decided it was time to get something that worked. I took my mom to the store and found all the […]
Grateful for the System
My dad had an appointment with the eye doctor today. Thankfully, everything looks great – there has been no change since his last visit. Since he had no news to share, the doctor told us about his travels to other countries as he learns and speaks about health care. He said that the health care […]
Joy of Old Friendship
We spent today at the cabin. When we arrived yesterday, we noticed that one of the neighbors seemed to be around, so we stopped. He was indeed there and we chatted for a while. Since we are very in and out of the place and others are too, we don’t visit people very much. It […]
A Young PA
My mom had an appointment with the cardiologist today. We really wanted to see her regular doctor, but were not able to. Instead we saw the PA. The young woman who walked into the room looked like a teenager. It was all I could do to stop myself from asking how old she was. Perhaps […]

Last year, we had a couple of finches build a nest near the front door using the light and ledge as braces. We were very entertained as we kept a close eye on the eggs and eventually the baby birds as they fledged. Earlier this summer, two finches returned and tried for a couple of […]
Three Little Boys
My mom and I watched some of “America’s Got Talent” tonight. There was an amazing story that a father of 6 told before he sang to the audience. When his wife gave birth to their daughter, the 2 of them almost died. The man prayed all night and was of course grateful that his family […]
Premonitions
A friend stopped by this afternoon. Among other things, we talked about how God prepares your heart for things coming up – if you really listen. People talk about having “premonitions”. My friend and I have had those feelings before. I think that God puts things in our hearts and in our thoughts. As we […]
It’s About You
I read Bishop Robert Barron’s meditation on the scripture Matthew 9:9-13 and it really hit my heart. This is what it said in part: ” . . . I urge you to read it and meditate upon it this week, for it’s about you. The Bible says that Jesus told Matthew, “Follow me.” The call of […]
