Clear Adventure
My friend and I decided to try to take a drive in the mountains this week. However, she cares for her mother and she wasn’t feeling well the day we planned on going. I completely understand that situation. So, we decided to wait. We had the opportunity to go today and took it. My friend […]
Musical Reminder
Today I was reminded of a video I took 2 years ago. It was my mom and her friend playing a duet on my mom’s piano. They were both wearing their “Plays Well With Others” t-shirts. I loved listening to them again and seeing my mom enjoying her music. It made me happy. It made […]
Piano Music Box
Today I came across 4 piano music boxes upon a shelf behind the pianos. As I thought about the best place for them, I remembered I was going to have dinner with our favorite caregiver tonight. We have been keeping in touch and it was a good time to get together. She was so good […]
Family Fun Time
Last year I planned a getaway for me, my kids and grandkids at a fun family hotel with an indoor water park and other activities. Unfortunately at that time, one son got sick. So I postponed the reservation. I had one year to use it or lose it. Several weeks ago, I made the new […]
Gotta Get Glasses
Over thirty years ago, I had surgery done on my eyes to correct my vision. This was even before the laser surgery. I was so happy with the results and have been seeing clearly for years. It was such a blessing. As was expected, I have been wearing reading glasses for a few years now […]
Working Walker
My brother was going to run some errands today and asked if I needed anything. I looked at my list and remembered my mom’s broken walker. One night when she was struggling and up a lot and I was doing my best to help her, she kept unlocking her walker when it needed to be […]
Healing Taking Place
One of the ladies in our prayer group had emergency surgery 2 weeks ago and is currently in a rehabilitation facility. Tonight was our meeting night, so we brought the meeting to her. The facility allowed us to use one of the common rooms. One of the guys even brought his computer so we could […]
Perfect Fall Day
I have been wanting to drive a certain gravel road that I know of through the mountains. It was a gorgeous day today and a friend of mine was able to get away, so off we went. We first took the highway to a mountain town. The Fall colors were stunning after the cool, wet […]
Fall Arrived
The weather today was perfect for ringing in the first day of Fall. It was cool, wet, and cloudy with the sun peeking through towards the end of the day. I was happy to get out my olive green wool jacket to wear to church today where I saw my son and his fiancee. She […]
You Are Here For a Reason
When I worked as a youth minister, I was blessed to meet an amazing woman who was a youth minister for a neighboring parish. We became very good friends and talked about what we might do when we were no longer working with the teens. She is an incredibly faithful, compassionate person and I have […]
