Lavender Festival
I was so happy to spend a few hours this morning with my sister and her husband. We went to the lavender festival at the local botanical garden. We were glad we got there early enough to beat too much of a crowd and too much heat. The first thing we did was visit the […]
Grateful For Findings
When my mom got up this morning, she seemed to be more confused than normal. After talking with her and letting some time pass, the confusion lingered. I wondered what this was. Was it from a new medication? Was it low sodium – because it was checked a couple weeks ago and was running on […]
Glorious Adventure
My mom read today’s reflection from “Jesus Calling”, and I thought it was quite profound and encouraging. It said in part, “Draw near to Me with a thankful heart, aware that your cup is overflowing with blessings….You will never be in control of your circumstances, but you can relax and trust in My control. Instead […]
Sparrows
I was talking with a friend today about how sometimes I have a feeling of impending doom. Perhaps that’s a little dramatic. But I do sometimes feel like I’m just waiting for the next bad thing to happen. Minutes later, I heard a song that started with the lyrics, “You can’t add a single day […]
Trading Places
Last week my sister went to stay at a friend’s house, so my brother came and stayed with me and my mom. It has been almost a year since he left out of state. After showing him a few different ways that we have been doing things, we just slid back into a routine that […]
Encouraging Doctor
My mom had an EKG today to make sure all is well before starting a new medication. The nurse who performed the test was very nice and gentle. Once it was finished, my mom’s favorite heart doctor came in the room. He said the test looked good and we discussed the potential new medication. Then […]
Lots Of Help
I had my annual doctor’s appointment for myself today. I was very happy that we have connected with a caregiving service and was able to schedule someone to come over to be with mom. She was very nice, as they all are. Later in the day my sister left to be out of town for […]
Fun Family Time
We had lots of family over today. My sister, her husband, and my brother went to the cemetery and put some flowers on my dad’s grave, then came for a visit. My son and family came over also. My mom played her favorite game Sorry with my daughter in law, grandson, and granddaughter. Then I […]
A Good Day
I was able to do yoga and some cardio exercise before taking a shower and starting my day this morning. I haven’t done that in a very long time. That gave me good energy that permeated throughout the day. When mom got up for the day, she was moving very well. She continued to move […]
Bless Them
Tonight my prayer group talked about the necessity and power of intercessory prayer. One person shared a prayer they learned and put into practice. “Bless Them, Change Me”. Using the example of traffic and drivers who are annoying, you would say, “Bless them, change me.” In other words, you ask God to bless the person […]
