Showing Love
Last night my dad was so tired, he fell asleep on the sofa. My mom wanted him to go to bed, but instead she covered him up and played him a lullaby on the piano. My dad woke up momentarily and thanked her for being so thoughtful. Small things, perhaps, but this is how my […]
Puzzle of Life
I have literally thousands of pictures that I have taken over the years and hundreds of pieces of memorabilia that I have kept. When I moved about 1 1/2 years ago, I just packed all of them in boxes and brought them along. Recently, my sister was looking for some specific photos, so I decided […]
Ave Verum Corpus
This morning in church, before the Mass started the choir started singing “Ave Verum Corpus” – “Hail, True Body”. My mom said she loved the song and started singing along. She was very quiet, but I could hear her. Although her voice is not what it used to be, she still hit the the high […]
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 […]
