Grow Up
I listened to a powerful reflection of today’s Gospel by Bible scholar Jeff Cavins on the Hallow app. In this scripture, the people who worked for a land owner all got paid the same daily wage, regardless of how long they worked. Those who worked all day long were upset about that, even though the […]
Well-being Affirmation
Today I had an appointment at the eye doctor. I hadn’t been there for a couple years, so it was time for a checkup. The tech who did all the prep and paperwork said I was doing a good job taking care of myself. I told him I cared for my parents and was doing […]
New Red Car
A few months ago, my sister decided to purchase the car she was leasing. She got everything worked out for the financing, but somehow there was a miscalculation and the amount she had to pay it off was incorrect. So it didn’t happen at that time. A few days later the car was in a […]
The Dizzies
I woke up this morning, got part way up, and started spinning. I had vertigo. I breathed slowly and waited for it to pass. It kind of came out of nowhere, on the other hand not surprising as I can feel the stress in my body. I was so grateful that my brother was here […]
More Rest
After giving mom a new medication last night, thankfully she slept very well and felt better today. It’s amazing how a good night’s sleep can make such a positive difference. I slept better as well, but woke up with hip and back pain. I thanked God when I realized I already had a massage scheduled […]
Scruples
Today I was thinking of the past. I can be haunted by mistakes I have made and things that I wish were different. I decided to continue listening to a podcast of the life of St. Ignatius of Loyola. This particular chapter described how Ignatius suffered from “Scruples” defined as a condition of self-criticism and […]
Receiving Communion
During my mom’s recent hospital stay, a Eucharist Minister came to her room. Before she was able to start, a care coordinator arrived. She said it was fine to start and she stayed in the room. As the Eucharist Minister went through the prayers, mom and I joined in. I was a little surprised when […]
Receiving More Care
It’s been a challenging week. Thank you to those who have reached out. I do very much appreciate it! A couple weeks ago mom was feeling awful and we went to the Emergency room. They said she had a UTI and off we went. Last weekend she again was feeling terrible. Her blood pressure spiked, […]
New Smile
About a year ago, I decided to do something drastic for myself. I have never had straight teeth. Even after undergoing torturous treatments as a child. I have always been self-conscious of my smile, but refused to go through that again. But, as I got older, my teeth continued to move. I was chewing on […]
God’s Way
I saw a quote today from TobyMac that resonated with me. One day you’re going to look back and be grateful that life played out God’s way and not yours. I Found God today in words to ponder.
