Speed of God
This morning after breakfast, my brother hitched up his camper, fastened his dog in his truck, and left for the winter. He is heading to Arizona but will stop at beautiful sites on his way. After he left, I cleaned up the cabin a bit and enjoyed the fresh mountain air and scenery before I […]
Aunt’s Recovery
Today I called my aunt as I haven’t spoken to her for a while. The first thing she said was that she was thinking about me as she was falling asleep last night. She told me that she had a stroke at the end of June. She was in the hospital for about a week, […]
Many in Church
The other day I saw an advertisement encouraging people to get back to church this Sunday. It included a map with several of the churches around the city and links to their websites. It was interesting, though, that when I look at that time I didn’t find any Catholic churches. I researched a little further, […]
Generous Neighbors
I snuck outside today to water my plants and flowers. With my black eye and stitches, I didn’t want to scare anyone. But, my neighbor across the sidewalk came out at the same time. She had dropped me off at the doctor’s office on the day of the surgery and had checked in via text, […]
Teamwork
I had to have a basal cell skin cancer spot removed from above my eyebrow yesterday. Actually, while the dermatologist was performing the outpatient surgery, he found that it had grown into my eyebrow as well. I was glad that my son picked me up after the procedure, so I didn’t have to try driving […]
Encouraging Words
Today I read an article that quoted Arnold Schwarzenegger. There was a line that reminded of what I was thinking yesterday. “If you find yourself falling for the anger, go out in the real world and make yourself human again.” Then I saw an encouraging post by TobyMac that speaks to our spirituality. “Focus on […]
True Kindness
Before taking my road trip back in May, I took my car in for an oil change and to check things over. At that time, they said I would need new brakes when I returned. But, for the past few months, I have just been busy doing things and didn’t make the time to take […]
Babies Know
On Monday mornings, I visit with an elderly woman who has dementia and bring her Holy Communion. Then we chat for a while if she is feeling up to it. I brought her the church bulletin today and we looked through it a little bit. There was an advertisement for a person to work in […]
Learning to Dance
My son’s wedding is less than a week away and that is pretty much all I can think about. We had been talking about what song to have for our mother/son dance and finally decided on “My Wish” by Rascal Flatts. We both remembered that I used to sing it to my son in the […]
Gardens
For the past couple of days, I have had conversations with people about their gardens and have seen social media posts from other friends. It seems that most who live in this area have been struggling with their vegetables this year. Perhaps due to the extreme fluctuating weather – very wet, then very hot and […]
