Mom Found God
As I was thinking about what to write tonight, I asked my mom where she found God today. We chuckled a little, because she had a really difficult time at Mass this morning. She struggled to find the readings, couldn’t find the songs in the hymnal, and couldn’t hear the priest. There was also a […]
Faith on Display
Today I watched the amazing game that was the Super Bowl. I didn’t have a vested interest in either team, but I do always root for the underdog. Incredibly, they won. I thought they played the game with unity, courage, strength, and fortitude. Characteristics that make up a winning team. At the end, the 3 […]
Super Occurence
Yesterday, my dad and I headed up to the cabin hoping to get a good view of the moon. It was cloudy when we arrived and the forecast called for more high clouds. So, I was praying that the sky would clear for just a little while. When I got up in the morning, the […]
Enjoying Learning
When I heard about the lunar eclipse, I wanted to try to get some pictures with my new camera. I read through more of the instruction manual and tried out some new settings on the sunset. When the moon was in view, my dad and I took some more shots. Being the photographer, my dad […]
Energizing Love
When my mom is at her exercise class, I have an opportunity to visit with the other caregivers who have brought their loved ones to the class. We share stories, concerns, recipes, and ways to take care of ourselves. Today, one of the older ladies had the front of her gray hair dyed purple. She […]
Cheering Up
My sister came to visit for a couple of days. She unexpectedly lost her job two weeks ago and has been really struggling. Naturally, it was a hit to her self-esteem and she is wondering what she could/should do next. When you are in your 50’s, it is a totally different ball game. My parents […]
Movie Night
My mom hasn’t been to a movie in a theater for years. Recently, she heard about the new “Jumanji” movie. She loves the old one with Robin Williams. Some people at her Parkinson’s exercise class and some older ladies I talked to saw it and thought it was pretty cute. We decided to go this […]
Frozen Falls
The weather was very mild today, so my son and I took advantage of it and went for a short hike. It being winter, warmish, and very dry here, I wasn’t really expecting to see any outstanding scenery. We decided on a particular hike, but when we got to the trailhead, the parking lot was […]
Joyful Celebration
Merry Christmas! It has been a great day with family. We ate and exchanged gifts and played fun games and ate some more. We caught up on life events and laughed a lot. Those who weren’t here physically, we were able to catch on video chat. It was just an all around joyful celebration. I […]
Creatively Enjoying Creation
My dad got me a new “real” camera for my birthday a couple of weeks ago. I have been playing around with it and figuring out how it works. This evening, I went outside and took some shots of the near full moon and the sunset. The results were amazing. I even impressed my dad […]
