Ready To Train
My son has been working on his Personal Training certification for several months. He just finished the course and set up his business. Today he announced that he got his first client. He was pretty excited about it. I was proud of him for pursuing something he really wanted to do, enjoys doing, and is […]
Parkinson’s Butterfly
At breakfast we asked my mom what she wanted to do on this beautiful day. She said she wanted to go to the park and see the Parkinson’s Butterfly. Last year, the daughter of a man with Parkinson’s disease created a butterfly piece of art that was auctioned off at the Rotary Club’s annual fundraiser. […]
God First
I met with my prayer group tonight and as usual, we read the upcoming Gospel for this Sunday. The scripture tells us that we should prioritize God before anyone or anything else in our lives. One of the ladies shared that early on in her relationship with her husband, he told her that his relationship […]
Trading Places
Last week my sister went to stay at a friend’s house, so my brother came and stayed with me and my mom. It has been almost a year since he left out of state. After showing him a few different ways that we have been doing things, we just slid back into a routine that […]
Encouraging Doctor
My mom had an EKG today to make sure all is well before starting a new medication. The nurse who performed the test was very nice and gentle. Once it was finished, my mom’s favorite heart doctor came in the room. He said the test looked good and we discussed the potential new medication. Then […]
Lots Of Help
I had my annual doctor’s appointment for myself today. I was very happy that we have connected with a caregiving service and was able to schedule someone to come over to be with mom. She was very nice, as they all are. Later in the day my sister left to be out of town for […]
Starbucks On Dad
My mom had some energy this morning and made it to church. During Mass, the priest talked about Father’s Day. He said if our father has died, we should pray for him to be with our Heavenly Father. We can also ask for his intercession to pray for the fathers who are still here, doing […]
Fun Family Time
We had lots of family over today. My sister, her husband, and my brother went to the cemetery and put some flowers on my dad’s grave, then came for a visit. My son and family came over also. My mom played her favorite game Sorry with my daughter in law, grandson, and granddaughter. Then I […]
A Good Day
I was able to do yoga and some cardio exercise before taking a shower and starting my day this morning. I haven’t done that in a very long time. That gave me good energy that permeated throughout the day. When mom got up for the day, she was moving very well. She continued to move […]
Surprise Visit
This afternoon I texted my son’s to see if they were doing anything and perhaps wanted to get together. The older one responded that his wife was getting ready to make lasagna. The younger one said he and his girlfriend were going to run errands. A few minutes later, my younger son and his girlfriend […]
