Finding Hope
A friend of mine is struggling as she goes through a divorce. I have been trying to help pack things up as they get ready to sell their house, which is very emotional as well. She invited me today to go look at a place that she is thinking of renting. She had a place […]
Dad Interviewed
I continue to sift through files, folders, and boxes of treasures. Today I found some more of my dad’s military information including housing, promotions, and awards. I also came across an airman’s magazine that included an article about him and the Air Weather Service. It highlighted their work watching the sun and doing their part […]
Finally Wellness
I spent some time with my son, daughter in law, and grandchildren today. My daughter in law has finally finished physical therapy since her ankle surgery in October. She is walking all around wonderfully now. After his 2 back surgeries, my son was finally walking upright and moving around without wincing. They struggled so much […]
Perfect Puppy
This morning I got together with my friend with the puppies. I asked if they were at their new homes yet. They are going this weekend. One was placed immediately. The other was supposed to go to a certain home, but it didn’t work out. My friend called the next person on the list and […]
Joyful Ash Wednesday
Most mornings I am able to take time to listen to a couple podcasts on the Hallow app and get my mind set towards God as I prepare for the day. I did the same this morning and got a couple perspectives on Ash Wednesday and Lent. A friend gave me a meditation book for […]
Tootsie Rolls
I saw a quote today that said, “When a child gives you a gift, even if it is a rock they just picked up, exude gratitude. It might be the only thing they have to give, and they have chosen to give it to you.” I thought the same thing is true with the elderly. […]
Baby Violet
I feel like I have never been a very successful plant person. Now I take care of all the plants in the house. I’m so grateful that my mom taught me how to take water and fertilize each plant. This morning I saw that 2 of the 3 orchids are blooming. That made me smile. […]
Treasured Friendship
This morning I read the scripture Sirach 6:5-17. It was all about the different kinds of friendships. This is what it said to me: Speaking kindly to people will lead to many friendly relationships and can dissuade those who disagree with you. Having many acquaintances is good, but be careful of who you trust. Some […]
Go Outside
I have been going to physical therapy as my back has been not cooperating with me for some time now. For me, it is difficult not to just push through pain to do what I would like to do. But, I am trying to live in that balance between full speed ahead and not being […]
Puppy Party
A friend of mine breeds standard poodles. She has had several litters of puppies at her house. I had heard about them and seen photos and videos, but had never been to her house to see them in person. She currently has 2 puppies about 6 weeks old. Part of raising them is to get […]
