Opposite Ends
I felt like today was in stark contrast from yesterday. I was happy to spend a little time with my new granddaughter. She was so much heavier than last time I held her and seemed to be more sturdy. I held her for quite some time while my daughter in law took advantage of the […]
Good Old Days
When I was at my friend’s house today, the gentleman decided to go outside and take a little walk down to the mailbox. So I went with him. He was a little unsteady and as he reached to get his key into the box. He said that he felt old today. I stood close, but […]
Many Mistakes
There have been many times when I feel like I make mistake after mistake, or that I don’t know what I’m doing. Sometimes I get overwhelmed over a new task that I need to accomplish and don’t really know how to do it, so I just put it off. Sometimes I dive right in and […]
Last Mission
The couple who live next door to me are very faithful, generous people. They have gone to different countries and done mission work for years. The wife was a teacher before she retired. When they visit other countries, they provide an English camp, where children can learn the English language. As they do so, they […]

Retirement Day
Today was my sister’s last official day of work. She has been wrapping things up and passing along all her tasks and information to her co-workers. Today she gathered up all the equipment she had from the law firm and delivered it all to the CEO. She said they chatted over a cup of coffee […]
Apologies
I was spending time with some friends today when suddenly the wife told her husband that she needed to apologize to him. I just grew silent and tried to fade into the background. She told him that she had said some things to the physical therapist who came over that may have made her husband […]
Working With Baby
My son’s company was very generous with the paternity leave that he was able to use. He took several weeks off and went back to work a couple weeks ago, continuing to work from home. He sent me a picture today of him working at his desk with the baby strapped on. She was sleeping […]

I was thrilled to get a phone call from my oldest grandson today. He has been working as a tire guy for a race team for the past year. They race late model stock cars. His dream has always been to work in NASCAR. He has met a lot of people during this past year. […]
