People of Influence
We watched the finale of “America Ninja Warrior” last night. Some of the show’s appeal is how they highlight the way the contestants influence those around them and how others have influenced them. When my mom got up this morning, she said she had dreams all night long. She wanted to remember them to tell […]
Mind At Ease
We recently had some hail damage to the cabin and are working on getting it fixed. One of the issues is that the rubber boot around one of the vent pipes was completely destroyed. The assessor who looked at it fixed it temporarily with about half a roll of duct tape, but there has been […]
Many Care
I took my mom to have her hair cut today. The parking lot is very tight and as I pulled into a parking spot, I realized there was a woman slowly making her way down the curb to get into the car next to me. I pulled back out and moved the car over, leaving […]
Over the Migraine
The other day, I felt a migraine coming on. I knew I had done it to myself by eating foods that I shouldn’t. I was very careful that day and treated it best I could, expecting to feel better yesterday. However, the headache was still there in the background. I had one more day of […]
Story of a Close Call
We enjoyed having one of our neighbors over this afternoon. Before they moved here last year, they went to their final doctors’ visits. The husband saw his cardiologist who found that his heart was basically in distress and he had emergency surgery. He and his wife talked about the surgery in detail. The doctors basically […]
Driving Grandson
Yesterday my son shared a picture of him riding along side of his teenage son in the car as his son is learning to drive. I could empathize with him. It didn’t seem like that long ago when I was teaching HIM how to drive. Today my daughter-in-law shared a picture of the same grandson […]
Not a Salesman
Today my mom and I stopped by the store after her exercise class. She was pretty tired and didn’t want to walk around too much, but there were a couple of things we needed to pick up. While we were there, we looked at the appliances to make smoothies. My mom has had a blender […]
Generous Friend
My dad has been having a particular problem with a patch of siding that needs to be replaced at the cabin and has not been sure how to go about it. Today a friend who built his own log cabin came over and took a look at it. Not only did he have an idea […]
Great Relationships
Recently, I have been placing more intention into my relationships. That may mean reaching out more, opening up myself to new friends, trying to be a better ME, or simply pondering and being grateful for the people in my life. My reflection today from Dynamic Catholic was from Matthew Kelly, “Great relationships magnify the good […]
Faithful Priests
Yesterday in my blog, I told of a friend of mine who is a priest and how he had moved to be closer to his parents. I realized today that there are actually a couple of people who would fit that description. I then also recognized how blessed I am to have had such amazing […]
