Sometimes I get the wind knocked out of me. Sometimes in a bad way and many times in a good way.... I feel like it was just a few months ago when I was wishing someone Happy Birthday on Facebook when I thought that my own birthday felt like months away. I thought that I … Continue reading 52 the 17th

Not Sure What to Call This One….
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 … Continue reading Not Sure What to Call This One….
You Get More Bees with Honey! Honey!
I 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 … Continue reading You Get More Bees with Honey! Honey!
How Many More?
It'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. I feel asleep listening to some of it last night and I had nightmares literally all … Continue reading How Many More?
Dog Days of ….People
The dog days of summer haven't gotten to me, but the dog days of the negative energy of people is wearing me out!! I think that it is pretty sad when my son calls almost every morning to ask if I have been yelled at by a customer yet!? Seriously! It is a good day … Continue reading Dog Days of ….People

Fourth of July 1945
My Dad loved the Fourth of July. The only person who might have loved it more would have been my Grandfather. He was wild about the chance to celebrate (he was wild Irish) and even more to light explosives. When Dad was a kid the Fourth meant that they were going to "the Farm" to … Continue reading Fourth of July 1945
Give ‘Em a Break
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 … Continue reading Give ‘Em a Break
29 and Counting (and I don’t mean kids)
When 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 … Continue reading 29 and Counting (and I don’t mean kids)
Destination….Faith–don’t read if you don’t have Any!!
Last 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 … Continue reading Destination….Faith–don’t read if you don’t have Any!!
