Happiness
Singing Voice
My mom, dad, and I went to church this evening instead of tomorrow. It will be helpful for us especially with the time change. We sat in the “usual” spot. A woman and her son always sit a few rows back. The young man struggles with some type of mental disability and his mom kept […]
The Shopping Spree
My mom lost a lot of weight when she started getting very ill a couple of years ago. Since then, she has been wearing clothes that are too big, but she hasn’t had the energy or stamina to go clothes shopping. It is just too much to walk around a store, find a style she […]
Celebratory Day
We had such a great celebratory day today. First we had a birthday party for my sister who is turning 50. She and her husband bought a farm last year and are preparing to get some chickens in the next few months. She has also already purchased all the special seeds for her garden, which […]
What is Success
A good friend and I went to dinner tonight to celebrate her birthday. We have been friends for about 25 years now and have always had a great time when we get together. She is one of those people that attract and/or intrigue other people. The hostess in the restaurant sat us at a booth in the bar. […]
Laughing Day
One of my daily prayers is to be joyful. There are so many things daily to be concerned, frustrated, angry, sad, or worried about. As I have said in the past, I don’t want to live that way and I don’t want to live in fear of what the future will bring. So, I pray […]
Lifelong Friendship
My sister’s birthday is coming up. Yesterday she, her son, and my other sister came over. We spent the evening visiting, laughing, and decorating the birthday cake. Today we three sisters went shopping and got the birthday girl some nice outfits, particularly for a big work meeting she has coming up. Back at home we […]
Perfect Timing
It was a beautiful day today, so we decided to make a trip up to the cabin. As we approached, we passed by the house of a good friend who my parents have not seen in quite some time. He is not in the area right now and my parents were talking about him and […]
A Balanced Day
I was busy all week running here and there getting things accomplished and taking advantage of a lull in chaotic activity in the household. I learned a long time ago that I need to be productive when the opportunity arises. Today the plan was to stay in. I got up earlier than usual and spent good […]
Many Well Wishers
So, I turned another year older today. The well wishes started last night when my son, who is in a time zone 2 hours ahead, called at 12:01 his time as it was officially my birthday. That was clever. The morning my mom and dad sang “Happy Birthday” to me. I thanked them for making […]
Blessed Day With Friends
I was blessed to spend another day with my good friends. I met them at their bed and breakfast to start our day. Just before I got to the entrance, I spotted a buck grazing right along the road. I took a couple pictures and thought it was a wonderful way to begin. My friends […]
