Grateful on Easter
As I celebrated Easter, I found myself very grateful. I was grateful to be able to go to Mass with my mom and sister. There were some people there I recognized, but many I did not. I had been waiting to sing, “Jesus Christ is Risen Today”, and it was the entrance hymn. The singing […]
Friends and Family
Our neighbors invited us over for lunch today. They are such kind, generous people and we enjoy getting together with them. They have family in the area, but not too close by. During the course of our conversation, they said they had wanted to get together with their family, but things didn’t work out. Then […]
Cabin Cuteness
My mom and I made an impromptu trip to the cabin today to check on a couple of things. The air was crisp and the sky was blue – perfect for a drive. The new car was amazing. It was comfortable for my mom, able to hold everything we needed, and handled beautifully on the […]
Feeling Better
I had a bit of a stomach bug for a couple of days and didn’t have much energy. I was grateful to be feeling better and able to get some things accomplished today. I Found God feeling better.
On a Tangent
When my mom’s friend comes over, she is always prepared with news and topics for conversation. Usually we go off on tangents during our visits.

News of Healing
I talked with my friend yesterday whose tiny, elderly mother is going through cancer treatment. She is doing amazingly well.

New Car
My mom and I have been talking about getting a new car for months. We have been looking for something that is easier for my mom to get in and out of, one that will hold wheelchair and walker, and would be good to take to the cabin. After much research and discussion, we decided […]
Most Energetic
I hated waking my mom up this morning, she was sleeping so soundly. But she has a haircut appt. When she got up, she said she had really slept well. We only had time for her to get ready and eat breakfast before getting in the car for her appointment. Having her hair washed, cut […]
Loving Relationships
My mom’s friend came over today as usual. She told us about their mutual friend who she has been visiting in a nursing home. She described how their friend has been declining and is in a bad way. Her husband died a few years ago. She is estranged from her daughter and her son who […]
Buying Groceries
Since I got sick with COVID before Christmas, I have been ordering groceries as I didn’t have the energy to do the shopping in the store. Today I decided to give it a try. I went with a short list which was mostly produce. I actually enjoyed looking over the fresh fruits and veggies and […]
