Grateful
Following Through
A couple of weeks ago, I made a trip to the cabin to get the hot water heater replaced. The company contacted me last week to set up the inspection which I scheduled for today. My sister had rearranged her schedule so she could be home with my mom. A couple days ago I realized […]
Ancestors
I watched the Disney movie Coco last night. It gave an opportunity to think about the importance of family and all those who have gone before. Today a friend shared a graphic called Ancestral Mathematics that I thought was interesting and thoughtful as well. It counted back 12 generations – 4094 ancestors over about 400 […]
Getting Out
We were blessed with an absolute gorgeous day today. It had been way too long since my mom had been out, so my sister and I took her to her one of her favorite parks. It was packed. Seems everyone else wanted to enjoy it as well. Luckily, I knew of a handicapped only parking […]
Calm
After a couple of very hectic days, I was glad, grateful, and relieved to have a much calmer day. Busy, productive, but calm. I Found God today in calm.
Faith in Grief
I heard from a friend of mine today that her husband passed away. I met them years ago. My mother was participating in the Parkinson’s exercise class and so was my friend’s husband. He was having a very difficult time already back then – particularly with falling. He even fell during the class. My friend […]
Positive Quotes
I saw several positive quotes today as people are clinging to faith, hope, and love and friends are sharing their wisdom. Here are some of them: For Jesus, there are no countries to be conquered, no ideologies to be imposed, no people to be dominated. There are only children, women, and men to be loved. […]
The Village
I have learned that it takes a village not only to raise our children, but to care for our elderly. I am grateful for the nurses who come over, those who bathe my mom, those who come spend time with her, and of course family. Today we had a new addition to that list. My […]
Family Adventure
I reserved an overnight stay at a family hotel that had an indoor adventure and water park. My sons and family were planning on staying overnight last night and celebrating their birthdays. However, one of my sons wasn’t well. So, I cancelled the overnight stay, but took my other son, daughter in law, and two […]
Little Energy
After my mom’s big day yesterday, she woke up this morning with very little energy. Our family friend came over and surprised us with a visit from her husband who brought their 1 year old granddaughter. She was just about the most adorable little toddler I have ever seen with her two little pigtails on […]
Prepared to Look Up
We were excited that today was the annular solar eclipse that we have been preparing for. My brother ordered us some of those special glasses so we could watch the display unfold. My sister did some coloring last night with my mom and we realized that it was a good representation of an eclipse. That […]
