Joy
Full of Goodness
My parents and I left the house early this morning and started with doctor appointments. First my mom saw the pacemaker clinician. A few weeks ago we connected the pacemaker monitor and transmitted the stored information about the device and how my mom’s heart was working with it. The clinician said that the information showed […]
Heavenly Joy
So I turned on America’s Got Talent last night. At times they interview a certain act before they come onto the stage, but you never know exactly how it’s going to turn out. A piece came on with a 5-year old little girl named Heavenly Joy. I wondered how her parents came up with that name. She […]
Eggs Benedict
The other day I asked my dad if he could have any breakfast he wanted, what would it be. I intended on making it for him for Father’s Day. He thought for a moment and answered, “Eggs Benedict.” I was deflated. I apologized to him and said that I thought that one was out of my […]
Talking With a Friend
Today I was happy to get a phone call from a far away friend. A while back she told me that her mother had just been diagnosed with cancer. She was able to spend some time with her as she started her chemotherapy and radiation. She said it was difficult to see her mom struggling […]
Contagious Joy
A good friend of mine is a Franciscan priest. He has helped me through difficult times and helped me to make some hard decisions. He has some great adventures and I enjoy following them on Facebook. He shows that being a priest is exciting and joyful. Recently he has been in Rome with several others […]
Three Little Words
Today I was shopping in a store and when I went to check out, there were 3 ladies behind the counter all just giggling away. I put my things on the counter and the woman who was ringing me up asked if I was having a good day and if she could tell me a funny story. […]
Some Days are Good
I had to run a few errands today and as I finished one and was headed out to my car, I encountered a woman and her 2 children coming out of the Department of Motor Vehicles. They were all very joyful as they held hands and swung their arms. I heard the woman speak enthusiastically to […]
Joyful Connections
This morning my mom and I were talking about how she doesn’t get out as much as she used to and how she misses visiting with people. A little later we decided to take her walker outside and go for a short trip around the complex. As soon as we got to the end of […]
And It’s A . . .
I was so excited for the BIG REVEAL today! My parents and I connected via video chat to my grandson’s tablet. The connection was not very good and kept freezing, but it was fun to see everyone there. Then came the big moment. My daughter-in-law’s sister was the only one who knew the gender of […]
Pi Day
Pi Day! Today as we were having breakfast, I remembered that “Super Pi Moment” was coming up – that the numbers in the date and time would match up the first 10 digits in the infinite number pi. I looked it up to see what time that would be, and it was occurring at that exact […]
