Amazing Athletes
My brother and I visited both the Olympic Training Center and the Olympic Paralympic Museum today. I learned more about the incredible commitment it takes for a person to become an Olympic athlete. My awe, appreciation, and respect for those men and women grew even more. Most of them overcame and beat tremendous odds to […]
Teamwork
I took my daughter in law to her physical therapy appointment this morning and when we got back to her house, she was hurting pretty badly. She took some ibuprofen and sat down in the recliner and put her foot up. My son came in from resting in his bed. He is still recovering from […]
Family Care
Two years ago, my son had surgery on his back to relieve the pressure from a bulging disc. At that time, the doctor saw that the disc just above was showing the same problem. He figured he would see my son back again in a few months. My son made it as long as he […]
Faith Not Fear
I listened to the mediation from Jeff Cavins on the Hallow app this morning. He shared a great acrostic for the word FEAR: False Evidence Appearing Real. He was explaining the Gospel of the day. The Bible story was that of a wealthy man sharing some of his wealth with those who worked for him, […]
Walking
My daughter in law had her appointment with her surgeon today. He was very pleased with the progress and healing from her ankle surgery several weeks ago. He traded her stiff boot for a fancy lace up brace. And he encouraged her to try walking now without a cane or any assistance device. She took […]
Sharing Good News
I heard from a friend today who has been caring for her mother for many years. She has been consistently going to agencies seeking help and praying for it as well. Today she was thrilled to share the good news that she was finally able to get some financial relief. I was so happy that […]
Another Year
Today was my birthday. I spent much of the day reading and responding to birthday wishes. I received flowers and a balloon from my sister and a beautiful, delicate necklace from my brother. I was blessed to celebrate in the evening with my sons, daughter in law and grandkids. We got Mexican food and mini […]
Busy Lunch
I went to lunch with a friend today, not really thinking about the fact that it was Veteran’s Day. When we arrived at the restaurant, there was a 30 minute wait. We figured it would take us that long to decide where else to go and to get there and such, so we put our […]
Secret Snowplower
We are on day 2 of a 3 day snowstorm, which is very unusual for the area and for the month of November. I have been watching more TV than usual and heard a great story. A man has been plowing neighbors’ driveways for years without compensation. For a long time, the people didn’t even […]
Taking the Stairs
I took my daughter in law to her first physical therapy appointment since her ankle surgery 4 weeks ago. The therapist showed her some ways to help the swelling go down in her foot and gave her some exercises to get more strength and mobility. He also recommended that she now use a rolling walker […]
