Feeling Good at PT
I have been going to physical therapy for a few weeks now working on rehabbing a hip that I threw out doing Zumba. I am realizing that my body is not what it used to be. There has always been music playing in the background, but I have been so focused on what they are […]
Jesus Christ Superstar
Today was a good day to stay indoors as we are having another spring snowstorm. Since Easter my mom has had the music from Jesus Christ Superstar going through her head. My sister had brought the movie over, but we didn’t get a chance to watch it. Today we took the time and popped in the […]
Divine Mercy in Pandora
Today is Divine Mercy Sunday and I have been looking forward to it. A very good friend gave me the “Diary of St. Faustina” many years ago. It has only been within the past year that I have started reading it, just a little at a time as there is much to contemplate. St. Faustina had […]
Singing Voice
My mom, dad, and I went to church this evening instead of tomorrow. It will be helpful for us especially with the time change. We sat in the “usual” spot. A woman and her son always sit a few rows back. The young man struggles with some type of mental disability and his mom kept […]
Manning Tribute 2
Yesterday after I wrote my blog, I watched the original video of the song “I Lived” by OneRepublic. This was the song that my grandson used in making his Peyton Manning tribute video. The video is a very powerful story of a teenage boy with Cystic Fibrosis. You can see the video here. Since it […]
Manning Tribute
I chatted with my just barely a teenager grandson this afternoon via text on his own phone. It was great fun talking with him independently from his parents. He is a Broncos fan, even though he lives in the Northeast. Well, he doesn’t really have much choice as his dad is a Broncos fan. I asked […]
Powerful Reminder
I have been participating in a “retreat” held in one of classrooms in the church for the past few weeks. It is a 10-week session called “Consoling the Heart of Jesus” by Fr. Michael Gaitley. It is pretty deep theology, but I love it. Tonight we finished a few minutes early so we could go […]
Trip Down Memory Lane
The other day we watched a movie that had the Chicago Theater in it. My parents said that they spent their honeymoon in Chicago and stayed in the hotel right across the street from the theater. We talked about it tonight which prompted my dad to retrieve the scrapbook they put together 63 years ago. […]
The Blessing
Tonight my son’s girlfriend sat down at the piano and started to go through my mom’s stacks of music. She came across a piece that my mother sang with her choir when she was in high school. She played a bit, my mom sang, and I attempted to harmonize. My mom explained that the song […]
Memories
I am so happy that my son and his girlfriend are here visiting for a few days. My son sat down at the piano and his girlfriend joined him. I loved listening to them play and sing together. My parents did too. It reminded them of when they were younger and my mom played the […]
