Appreciate the Doctor
My parents had an appointment with their cardiologist today. He’s such an honest, straightforward, and entertaining person. Both my parents got a good checkup. He talked about the difference between treating someone in their 30’s and someone in their 80’s. He said for those who are older, they have already “won” and every new day is […]
Young Entrepreneurs
For the past week, I have been helping my sister get her toffee ready to bring to “Choctoberfest”. She brought her products to a chocolate festival in the spring and decided to participate in this one as well. It was a lot of work getting ready, but the day itself was a lot of fun. […]
Found the Music
My parents used to buy season tickets to the Philharmonic symphony, but the past couple of years they did not due to health issues and missing more than they attended. However, this year, they decided to get them again. In preparation, my mom reviewed the program for this upcoming weekend. She knew that she had […]
Push Past Fear
My son traveled to England for business a couple of weeks ago and was able to visit London while he was there. He came over tonight and told us all about it. He did his best to pack in as many sites as he could. After one particularly busy day, he was resting in his […]
Fall Oasis
We headed home today after spending a few days at the cabin. The fall colors up there were breathtaking. The gold and orange leaves “quaked” in the breeze as the sunlight shone through them. They were stunning against the deep blue sky. Even though it was cool, cloudy, and foggy this morning, it only added […]
Quick Decision, Lifelong Blessing
We spent some time at the cabin today and visited with a friend of my parents who is the closest neighbor. He started building his house a couple of years after my dad started building and they have known for about 40 years. He told the story of how he came to purchase the land. […]
Better Sleep
My mom has been getting up at a new earlier time recently. This morning she said she has been sleeping much better lately. Ever since she had cataract surgery, she has been seeing huge halos around lights, especially at night. Evidently, when she would wake up during the night, she saw the large red numbers […]
Prayer Intentions
The other day my mom received a card in the mail from the church that they go to when they are at the cabin in the mountains. The card was from a prayer group. It said that the group would prayer especially for my mom, her family, and her intentions on a specific day. That […]
Let Go of Fear
I like going for walks around the cabin in the mountains. While we were there, we got together with some of my parents’ friends. One of them said that a while ago he had seen footprints of a mountain lion in his driveway. He said I was pretty brave to be hiking around there. I […]
A Peaceful Day
Today we had nothing scheduled, nothing planned, and enjoyed the day at the cabin. It was beautiful as the trees are showing their Fall colors. I spent a lot of time meandering through the quiet woods taking pictures of trees, birds, and sky. It was relaxing, peaceful, and contemplative. I Found God today enjoying a […]
