Relationship
An Understanding Relationship
A very good friend came by somewhat unexpectedly this evening. She was upset from an event that had occurred a little earlier in the day. We were able to take some time and just talk things through. She was able to get out her concerns and I was too. We understand one another. By the […]
Growing Faith
At church today, the priest talked about how faith is – should be – always growing. He talked about how we judge our own faith in different circumstances. Perhaps there are times in our lives when our faith is strong, we feel very connected to God. Then something may happen and we question that relationship. […]
Getting to Know You
We have been trying to get together with our newest neighbors for quite some time now. Finally today my mom and I went over to their house for lunch. The husband’s sister was visiting, so we got to meet her too. She was about the same age as my mom. Before we ate, the husband […]
Storytelling Night
Today my mom started her exercise classes. It was pretty challenging, but I thought she did a great job. As I sat watching her, I got to talking with a woman who was watching too. She and her husband were visiting from out of state and brought her father-in-law to the class. We talked about […]

Graduation and Friendship

Daughter to Mother
On this Mother’s Day, my parent’s gave me a card and wrote in it, “The daughter becomes the mother.” I guess that is true in some ways, but my mom will always be the mother. I cook, do some cleaning, and do my best to make sure everyone is taken care of. But my mom is […]
Fabulous Friends
Today I was able to meet up with a couple from my previous home. Her parents live there and his parents live here. I found out a couple of years ago that we had this connection and it was fun to talk about it at that time. I don’t think I ever imagined that we would […]
The Perfect Woman
We have been doing some Spring house cleaning lately. A few days ago, one of the companies took away the area rugs for a thorough cleaning. They called this afternoon to come by and return them. My dad met the workers at the door and told them of the anniversary party coming up. When they […]
