Healing
Grateful for Caretakers
I spent the day with my sister as she prepares to come to our house for a few weeks to continue recovering from her broken leg. First thing in the morning, the transport van came to take us to my sister’s doctor appointment. She was a little loopy from her pain medication, but funny. The guy […]
Close Friends, Lifted Spirits, Good Care
I started this morning by making cinnamon rolls with my grandson. Then I headed off to see some friends that I haven’t seen for a long time. I met my prayer group for breakfast. Of course, there were lots of hugs and tears all around as we shared our significant moments with each other. One […]
This Just Might Happen
I planned on taking a trip to see my new grand daughter leaving tomorrow. Today started out with a usual unexpected happening. My mom woke up with a very red eye. It had been bothering her for a couple of days as it felt scratchy and irritated. But today it looked as though someone punched […]
Healing of Sorts
Last night I said that I was sure my mom would have a wonderful night sleep and wake up refreshed this morning after attending the Healing Mass. In reality, that does not happen very often. But when I saw my mother this morning, she said she had such a good night sleep that she had […]
A Healing Mass
Tonight my mother and I attended a “Healing Mass” at our church. The priest was visiting from New Jersey and here for a Catholic conference. He was very charismatic in his words and prayers. The majority of the people in the church were very enthusiastic as his energy was contagious. One thing that really struck […]
Nature Heals the Weary Spirit
Today was a gorgeous day. I got up early early and met my sister and her husband for breakfast. Then we went for a hike. We started at the top of a canyon and followed the trail along the ridge. We stopped at several overlooks to get a good view of the canyon walls and […]
Out of Addiction
Tonight I was able to connect with my prayer group via Facetime. It is always uplifting to be with this wonderful group of women. Two of them recently opened an interior decorating shop. They said that every day they speak to people who share their faith with them. One of the ladies told a story of stopping […]
Bringing the Inside Out
Yesterday my mother started intensive voice therapy. As her Parkinson’s has progressed, her voice is very quiet and can get quite raspy. The object of the therapy is to help her to use her diaphragm properly again to breathe and speak. It will also help improve her facial muscles. One of the symptoms of Parkinson’s […]
A Story of Forgiveness
Today I came across a moving video from a young man who was bullied in high school and able to forgive those who tormented him. He held onto the truth of who he is in God. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BotF8PjxOIU I Found God today in the story of a young man able to forgive […]
A Good Check-up
Today I took my mom to the doctor for a check-up. Before she went, she wrote down the list of things that she wanted to discuss. My dad jokingly (or not so much) said to make sure to keep the list so he can use it next time he has to go. Her doctor was […]
