Good Old Days
When I was at my friend’s house today, the gentleman decided to go outside and take a little walk down to the mailbox. So I went with him. He was a little unsteady and as he reached to get his key into the box. He said that he felt old today. I stood close, but […]
Many Mistakes
There have been many times when I feel like I make mistake after mistake, or that I don’t know what I’m doing. Sometimes I get overwhelmed over a new task that I need to accomplish and don’t really know how to do it, so I just put it off. Sometimes I dive right in and […]
Last Mission
The couple who live next door to me are very faithful, generous people. They have gone to different countries and done mission work for years. The wife was a teacher before she retired. When they visit other countries, they provide an English camp, where children can learn the English language. As they do so, they […]
Happy Haircut
A friend of mine celebrated her 85th birthday today. I went to her house, picked her up, and brought her to a haircut appointment. I was glad my hairdresser was able to get her in. This was the 2nd time she cut her hair. The first time was fine, but this time she did an […]
Better Surgery
My neighbor has had some medical issues and without getting into details – mostly because I won’t be able to explain it properly – she has been putting off surgery. Her doctor here explained that it would be major surgery in which they would hope for a good outcome. It didn’t sound promising to her. […]
Apologies
I was spending time with some friends today when suddenly the wife told her husband that she needed to apologize to him. I just grew silent and tried to fade into the background. She told him that she had said some things to the physical therapist who came over that may have made her husband […]
Fun to Live
I was talking with all my siblings this evening on our weekly Zoom meeting. I am so grateful that we have kept up with it for so long, starting in 2020 because of COVID. Today my brother was talking about how he’s worried about his old dog again as she has hurt her leg. He’s […]
Hedwig
A couple weeks ago, I met a woman who was introduced as Heddy. She explained that her real name was Hedwig after the saint of the same name. She felt her name was so unusual and not very appealing, so she went by Heddy. On October 15 as I was listening to my Hallow app, […]
It was such good news to hear that my friend’s mom was discharged from the hospital today. In one of the messages, my friend mentioned that she needed to get a new toilet seat for her mom. I remembered that I had kept the bedside commode that we purchased for my mom. It was all […]
Happy Trees
I was busy cleaning today and when evening came, I was happy to sit and rest. I turned on the TV and came across PBS. Bob Ross was just about to come on, so I left it on the channel. I haven’t actually ever watched one of his painting episodes and was curious to see […]
