Dizzy Relief
My daughter in law has been suffering from dizziness on and off for many years. She has been to several doctors who have not been able to help her. Recently, a chiropractor friend of theirs recommended a doctor for her. She has seen him a couple of times now and I talked with her about […]
Flossing
After dinner this evening, my mom has something stuck in her teeth. We had to stop saying our prayers so that she could get it out. However, she couldn’t do it. My sister got her a piece of dental floss to see if that would help. Unfortunately, my mom couldn’t figure out how to use […]
Calm Dynamic
Last week our regular caregiver was out, so we had new and different people. One of the girls was great with my mom; patient, low key, and knowledgeable. Mom was very comfortable with her. So I was pretty happy when I was able to hire her to come in a couple afternoons every week. It […]
Begin Again
The other day I heard a reflection about our ability to begin again. Every night we have the opportunity to review our day and hand it all to God in prayer, asking forgiveness for our wrongs. At the wakening of each new day, we are able to start fresh and live the day for what […]
Good Fortune
My sister has been busy making her annual delicious coffee toffee. The house smells amazing. Our regular caregiver was here this morning who is from Japan. I got out a piece of toffee for her to try before I left on my errands. When I returned, she said she liked it. She said if you […]
Breath of God
I came across a video today of a priest talking about the meaning of the name of God – specifically YHWH. He had a conversation with a Jewish Rabbi who explained that the word was to emulate our breath. Our life breath is a gift from God and the closest we come to Him. We […]
New Altar Servers
This morning at Mass, there were some new altar servers. I just happened to sit down close to where they sat and could see what was going on. Two of the new servers were very small boys. There were also three older boys and an older girl. I loved watching them all learning from one […]
Begin Now
I saw a beautiful quote this morning that made me pause: “Begin now to be what you will be hereafter.” By St. Jerome. I have done much soul searching and have wanted to be different myself. I am all too aware of my shortcomings and can get discouraged that it takes much hard work to […]
Receiving More Care
It’s been a challenging week. Thank you to those who have reached out. I do very much appreciate it! A couple weeks ago mom was feeling awful and we went to the Emergency room. They said she had a UTI and off we went. Last weekend she again was feeling terrible. Her blood pressure spiked, […]
New Smile
About a year ago, I decided to do something drastic for myself. I have never had straight teeth. Even after undergoing torturous treatments as a child. I have always been self-conscious of my smile, but refused to go through that again. But, as I got older, my teeth continued to move. I was chewing on […]
