More Letters
Today I received a full packet of letters from my far away prayer group. A few months ago, we started by writing a letter about what is going on in our life. That was forwarded to the next person along with those who also wrote. Last month I had 3 letters. This month, there was […]
Finding True Happiness
I decided to expand my reading horizons, continue learning about faith, and include something that would be uplifting. So I started reading a book by Fulton Sheen last night called, “Finding True Happiness”. It didn’t take long before the message touched my heart, beginning with the introduction. The line that was particularly inspiring to me […]
Found His Mother
I got together with a friend of mine and he told me a great story. He was adopted at birth and was always an advocate for adoption vs. abortion. He would talk about it especially with his daughter’s friends and they would realize that if he would not have been born, his daughters would not […]
Welcome Home, Son
When I said good-bye to my children and grandchildren 2 1/2 years ago and moved across the country, I thought that was the last time I would be a close distance to any of them. Ironically, both my sons were born here before we moved and made our home on the east coast. They both […]
So Far, So Good
It was a long day of travel today. I left my house early and took the shuttle to the airport. I think the driver was a stunt car driver in a previous life as we got to the airport in record time. After that experience, I was happy to find a quiet place to sit […]
Daughter to Mother
On this Mother’s Day, my parent’s gave me a card and wrote in it, “The daughter becomes the mother.” I guess that is true in some ways, but my mom will always be the mother. I cook, do some cleaning, and do my best to make sure everyone is taken care of. But my mom is […]
Grateful for Mentors
Today a friend of mine celebrated his 10th anniversary of being ordained a priest. He shared some pictures of the ordination on social media. As I browsed the pictures, I saw one of him with my son. At the time, my son was an altar server at the church and the priest asked if he […]
Passed
For the past 5 years, my younger son has been in college. He decided early on that he wanted to be on the fast track to receive his Master’s Degree. There was a time when he wasn’t quite sure he wanted to continue on that path, but he decided to stick it out. Today he […]
Returning From Graduation
I picked up my sister from the airport this evening after her whirlwind of a trip to see her son graduate from boot camp. She came back to the house and told my parents and I all about the event. My nephew had professional pictures taken and bought tons of them to share around. I will […]
Fabulous Friends
Today I was able to meet up with a couple from my previous home. Her parents live there and his parents live here. I found out a couple of years ago that we had this connection and it was fun to talk about it at that time. I don’t think I ever imagined that we would […]
