Grateful
Blessed Meal Time
Many times, I feel like I lose my concentration when I pray. My mind easily wanders – especially when I say the “usual” prayers during the day. Today at lunch we prayed our normal meal time prayer that we have done for my entire life, probably mom’s too. I started drifting almost immediately, but this […]
Paying Attention
A friend came over for a little while today. She talked about the blessings she has experienced lately and how overwhelming it can be if she thinks about them too much. We talked about how God is always present and active in our world, but specifically in our lives. The important thing is that we […]
Another New Doc
Mom has an appointment today with another new neurologist. It’s been difficult since her past one retired and we haven’t trusted the one she’s been seeing. This doctor was a speaker at one of the Parkinson’s Support group a few years ago. I was glad a friend mentioned his name and that he was taking […]
Couple Appointments
I had a couple of appointments today and tentatively left the house when our friend came to stay with my mom. As I’m still recovering, I have learned that if I move very slowly, I am able to do things. If I try to rush or push too much, I will end up hitting a […]
Grateful For Sister
Today is my sister’s birthday. I am especially grateful for her today. She was away when mom and I ended up with COVID and stayed away for a little longer at my insistence. She knew how much I was struggling though, so she came back to stay at the house, wearing her facemask the whole time. […]
The Big Walk
Mom and I went for a walk today. I mean – a real walk. About 4 times further than I had been in weeks. At first my legs retaliated, but I insisted and kept going. It was actually hard to keep up with my mom, which was very different for me. At the end, I […]
Still Needed Rest
I was looking forward to feeling better and having more energy today. Unfortunately, a migraine knocked me back down. After a 2 hour nap, I started feeling better. I was so grateful that my sister is here taking care of things so I can rest when I need to. I Found God today in my […]
Dog Hero
A couple of weeks ago, my friend’s mother had to be taken to the hospital. My friend lives with her mom and said she knew there was something the matter by the way her dog was behaving. He usually sleeps in my friend’s room in the lower level of the house, while her mother is […]
She’s Back
My sister has been away for a few weeks. She was caring for a friend’s house while they were away. Then, when my mom and I got COVID, I told her it would probably be best for her if she stayed away longer. She returned the other day. She has been wearing the N95 masks […]
Lord Bless You
Yesterday a friend sent me a New Year’s prayer: “May the Lord bless you and keep you, May the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you, May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26. It is one of my and mom’s favorite scriptures. […]
