Amazing Gift
Here’s the video Talia made for me for Mother’s Day. If you haven’t already, read “This One’s for Talia” that I published in January. She is absolute proof that God loves me; she is beautiful inside and out, my love and my best friend.
Mother’s Day Weekend
I hope all of you found a special way to celebrate Mother’s day. I am so thankful for the time I had with my family Saturday and Sunday! In my last post I talked about showing love and appreciation by giving your time and something special you created yourself. Well, I was blown away by […]
“Why?”
One of the most frequent questions parents hear is “Why?” I actually believe a mom probably hears it the most because it’s usually ‘easier’ to ask her or it’s because she’s the one giving instructions. I know I asked and often argued about the why – that and lots of other things, too. I’m so […]
The Finish Line
Well I haven’t written in over a week other than a short post on Facebook. It was “one of those days” so I was asking for a little help. I appreciate the reactions but I REALLY do want to know your thoughts. I would greatly appreciate it if you will submit comments on my website, […]
Persevere
This was a birthday card for my husband from his coworkers. I thought the picture was so funny I put it on the fridge and it’s been there since August. By definition: If you can do something standing on your head, you can do it very easily. Well, I don’t think I can do anything […]
Hope Springs Eternal
I’ve heard the phrase and know what it means; continuing to hope, although it seems unlikely that what you hope for can happen. The operative word is “seems” because it’s subjective. Are you an optimist, pipe-dreamer, pessimist or somewhere in between? More importantly, in what or whom do you put your trust? It seems to […]
Reality Check
Unite the Country, the super PAC backing former vice president Joe Biden, released an ad yesterday blaming President Trump for the coronavirus response. I just saw the ad this morning and was disgusted! I don’t care, nor am I here to criticize party affiliation. However, judging one man – Our President – for being optimistic […]
Welcome Home
Vietnam Veterans Day commemorates the sacrifices of Vietnam veterans and their families and is part of a national effort to recognize the men and women who were denied a proper welcome upon returning home. Most states celebrate “Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Day” on March 29 or 30 of each year. Though there is some debate, […]
Not So Little Things
We all know the expression, “it’s the little things that count.” That’s true every day and especially at this point in time. Not just “little,” but also those things we don’t typically have reasons to think about. For example, the truck drivers who deliver goods we need, the ones who keep those trucks in shape, […]
From Now On
Pandemic uncertainty we are experiencing has led to extremes. Irrational or selfish behavior is rampant where fear has replaced sense OR those who understand the needs, step in to help. Some hoard and some share. My guess is the hoarders are: a. clearly selfish; b. ignorant, e.g. toilet paper stockpiling; and/or c. lacking faith and […]
