Many Well Wishers
So, I turned another year older today. The well wishes started last night when my son, who is in a time zone 2 hours ahead, called at 12:01 his time as it was officially my birthday. That was clever. The morning my mom and dad sang “Happy Birthday” to me. I thanked them for making […]
Support and Encouragement
I was happy to talk to 2 good friends today. I really should make a better effort to connect with them more often. Today was a friend’s birthday, so we got on the phone and talked up a storm. She lives quite far away, but I saw her briefly over the summer when she was […]
Veteran’s Day
Today is Veteran’s Day, of course. I looked at all the tributes people shared recognizing their loved ones. I read a couple of prayers that were shared to honor all those who served and still serve our country in the Armed Forces. There were pictures of friends and family in uniform, sentiments from some who […]
Blessed Day With Friends
I was blessed to spend another day with my good friends. I met them at their bed and breakfast to start our day. Just before I got to the entrance, I spotted a buck grazing right along the road. I took a couple pictures and thought it was a wonderful way to begin. My friends […]
Day With Far Away Friends
Today some very good friends who live far away arrived for a visit. We met when I was working in the church and I haven’t seen them for a year. I was so excited to see them and was teary eyed as we hugged hello. They came early in the morning, so we had breakfast […]
Generous People
I have been staying with my sister who broke her leg and trying to take care of some housework for her. We have been talking the past couple days about home improvements she would like to do. Of course, the list is longer than the time and finances. A friend of hers has been wanting […]
Priest Anniversary
Today is the anniversary of when a friend of mine became a priest. I thought about this and remembered the day of his ordination. I had known him only a year or two at the time, but he had already made a big impression on me. He would come to retreats and talk to the […]
Close Friends, Lifted Spirits, Good Care
I started this morning by making cinnamon rolls with my grandson. Then I headed off to see some friends that I haven’t seen for a long time. I met my prayer group for breakfast. Of course, there were lots of hugs and tears all around as we shared our significant moments with each other. One […]
Surgery, Concern, and Prayers
I was so happy to talk with my sister today. It was good to hear her voice. She sounded more awake and aware and able to hold a little bit of a conversation. She told me the details of how the surgeon placed a rod in her lower leg from her knee to her ankle […]
His Little Buddy
My dad is trying his best to recover from his fall and is improving a little at a time. He was feeling pretty bad today and having stomach issues – most likely due to the medication he has been taking. He has spent a lot of time lying down and resting. I was glad that […]
