Finally Haircut
I have needed a haircut for a while and have even had a couple of appointments set up. Unfortunately, I had to cancel them due to circumstances beyond my control. It has been quite a hectic week and I was glad to actually be able to go to my appointment today. The best part was the […]
Grateful Dad
I spent the day today “hovering” over my dad as I wouldn’t let him walk around at all without me beside him. The good news is that his world is no longer spinning. He felt somewhat dizzy and weak from too many days with no food. But I could even see improvement from morning to […]
Down, But Not Out
After taking my dad to the Emergency Room for severe dizziness, the doctor sent us home with some heavy medication. The doctor did warn us of it’s potency, but the hope was to help calm things down. I gave my dad one pill the next morning. He slept for a couple of hours and was […]
Oh No, Vertigo
The other day my dad woke up early in the morning very dizzy. We did what we could to help him get through it and made him an appointment with his doctor. Unfortunately, he got so dizzy and nauseous that he couldn’t even get up from a lying position, much less make it out to […]
Singing Voice
My mom, dad, and I went to church this evening instead of tomorrow. It will be helpful for us especially with the time change. We sat in the “usual” spot. A woman and her son always sit a few rows back. The young man struggles with some type of mental disability and his mom kept […]
Uplifting Words
I decided to hit the grocery store bright and early this morning to get it accomplished so I could enjoy the beautiful day. The employees at the supermarket are all very friendly and helpful, which makes for a pleasant experience. Once I had unloaded all my items onto the conveyor, the chatting began with the […]
God Was Already There
So, I had to make a potentially difficult phone call this afternoon. I thought of it shortly after I woke up and the anxiety set in. I prayed about it and after only a bit I felt that God was already in the situation and not to worry. I thanked God for the insight and […]
Into Peace
Life can be very hectic here. When there is no emergency situation, the time includes going to doctor appointments, planning family events, and basic daily living chores. Sometimes it is very quiet, other times the air is filled with a TV too loud for my liking and people speaking even louder to make sure they […]
Regaining Strength
After my mom had a stroke on Halloween, she made an incredible recovery. However, even though she appeared to be back to normal, she felt very weak. She had no energy, got short of breath very easily, and was fatigued after doing just a little. Her doctor sent her to physical therapy. She met with […]
Blessings in the Day
I was feeling so blessed today. Today is the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. Of course, I feel blessed because of my encounter at Lourdes when I was a child. I wrote about the specifics of that experience last year. So, her feast day is always on my calendar. There was a special Mass […]
