At 50 I found a Random Hair on my chin, I named her Veronica….
This has been a summer like no other. I have worked more this year than I ever thought my body could possibly take. I sleep away the weekends because I can’t move and I have missed more sunny days because of sleeping the weekend away than I care to remember. I am thankful for the […]
Read MoreI’ve been thinking a lot lately about my love of the English language and how when I was a kid I would read a Thesaurus just for fun. Somehow in our attempt to “simplify” everything we have created an entire language with emojis and I doubt anyone under the age of 20 knows what a […]
Read MoreOriginally posted May 1, 2018. Reposting When I was a little girl I looked forward to the first of May with more happiness and anticipation than I did Christmas!! It was my chance to sneak in and surprise those I loved and it was the best feeling of the entire year!! If it happened to […]
Read MoreI look at my life in little moments and blocks of time rather than looking at the big picture. I look back at moments when I was growing and learning and it gives me a much more like-able view of who I am since I have gotten older! Now, those moments of growth have turned […]
Read MoreIt’s easy to get caught up in the news this morning; more devastating news about victims, families, more information about the shooters, more partisan politics, more rage, more hate, more sadness, more helpless feelings from ordinary people like me.

Harvest might just be here! Finally! A hot summer breeze and muddy fields, but we are going to attempt to get the wheat out of the field. I am anxious for my kids. I worry about the trucks on the road and the slow moving vehicles. I worry about them overheating and not drinking enough […]
Read MoreWhen I am working my ”real job” and the connection goes out, it gives me a chance to pester my readers with another blog!! Today began like most. It’s a well known fact that I don’t sleep well, so I tend to sleep with my dad’s t shirt wrapped around my head and eyes to […]
Read MoreLast evening I had a Stephen’s Ministry board supervisory meeting. During these meetings we spend the time listening to other *Stephen’s Ministers discuss their work with their care receivers and their progress. In case you are wondering, none of us know “who” the others are caring for, we are sworn to absolute confidentiality, so details […]
