Opportunity
Well Played, God
I have been trying to read spiritual books, but I get distracted, change books, and have not been very good at disciplining myself. Yesterday at church, an instructor for a Catholic Bible School spoke about a class that will be starting soon. It lit a spark in my heart, but I thought about how much […]
Passing Clouds
I took some time today to just sit on a rock, breathe in fresh mountain air, and watch the passing clouds. I didn’t try to make objects out of the shapes, but just watched them move. There were large white clouds that would billow in some places getting larger and puffier. Others were thin and […]
Overdue Swing
A friend of mine who was adopted as an infant found and was reunited with his biological mother last year. It was such an emotional story. This year, she came to visit him and he shared many of the pictures. One of them was of him on an oversized swing with his mother standing behind. […]
Found The Job
My sister had been diligently looking for work since she was laid off a few months ago. She was getting very frustrated and anxious due to the lack of response she was receiving. A month ago she did have an interview and they finally got back with her for a second interview the other day. […]

A few weeks ago, we learned that the teacher of my mom’s exercise class would be giving a presentation. Last week, she asked my mom if she would help her out by demonstrating one […]
False Alarm
Today I took my mom to physical therapy. While we were there, we received an Amber Alert, so the phones and such were all making the alarm sound. One of the therapists said that always makes her afraid. She said she was on vacation in Hawaii when the false alarm was sent to everyone that […]
Surprise Luxury
Today my mom’s friend came over as usual to visit and play the piano. One of the ladies in the neighborhood loves listening to them play, so they invited her over. She is just a lovely person who has always been very sweet and helpful to us and people in the neighborhood. She brought a […]
Get To Cleaning
I got up bright and early this morning to get ready for the carpet cleaner to come. I picked everything up off the floor that I could. The guy was running a little late, so I cleaned the bathroom. He showed up as we were finishing lunch and got to work. It was very mild […]
The Lonely Widow
My mom and I planned on going for a walk today, but we missed our window of opportunity in the morning. The wind picked up and the clouds came over. By the afternoon, we were itching to get out, so we bundled up and headed down the sidewalk. After a bit, we spotted a person […]
