Healing
Withered Hand
The other morning I woke up to a very painful right hand. The joint at the base of my thumb was very swollen and I could barely move it. When I did, it was extremely painful. I took some Tylenol during the day, but it didn’t seem to help. That night I didn’t sleep because […]
Getting Out
I met a certain friend several years ago at a grief support group and we discovered that we had much in common. She had been caring for both her parents and both of our fathers had recently passed away. Soon after we met, her mother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease. We made it to a […]
Successful Surgery
I was at a friend’s house today and we wondered about another friend who had hip surgery earlier this week. Our prayer group was praying for her and my friend said that she and her husband were praying for her many times during the day. I texted her, hoping to get a response. She did […]
Better Health
My brother has a great group of friends in the RV place that he stays in the winter. They even have Zoom get togethers when people are scattered for the summer. They are very close and supportive of one another. A couple of days ago, my brother told me about one of the ladies who […]
One Hectic Week
My new granddaughter was born one week ago, and it has been quite a week. There was planning and expectations that went right out the window. I have said many times that everything changes when you have a baby. My son and his wife have been on a roller coaster of emotions which were all […]
Improving
I went back to my son’s house this morning so he could go back to the hospital and be with his family. The dog and I went on a hike first thing before it got too hot outside. We are very much enjoying our time together. She is getting more exercise and so am I. […]
Strength
Today I was talking with my brother about a friend’s mother who has been through a lot of medical issues and is still going strong, just turning 91 years old. I told him that if I were to get very ill, I don’t know if I would have the ability to make it to the […]
Dental Work
Last week I had a crown replaced on one of my back teeth. It is always torture to me to have any dental work done as I can’t open my mouth wide enough. Sometimes I even have bruises on my face. This past time, my jaw hurt, but thankfully there was no bruising. Although, because […]
Progressing Wellness
I went to dinner with some friends tonight and got caught up on the news. A couple had their baby early and he is still in the NICU. However, they have already made it through some very difficult times. The baby was delivered early via C-section as there were some concerns. At one point the […]
Such Generosity
I was telling my brother all about my trip today and updated him on the family members I visited. I thought about how each person lives their lives in an ordinary way, yet are caring, supportive, and making a difference in the lives of those around them. One cousin is a devout Catholic and has […]
