Goodbye 202-1
The cold is creeping in and after a 70 degree Christmas, I suppose it’s time. What better way to end/begin a year with an Arctic blast of -27 F?! The cold may just freeze me in my tracks but the “cold” can’t stop my progress!! Before I delve into this blog, I want to put … Continue reading Goodbye 202-1
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….
Where is Your Faith?
God, Creator of the Universe, Higher Power, Divine, Source Energy, call it what you will, we are connected! We are never disconnected from this Love of God unless we choose to be in a living Hell. I believe this. I love this! But sometimes when life beats me up, I need a huge reminder. My reminders come from people who really do love me. Today's blog brought to you by my friend Mary. I thank her so very much for her wise words and her insight. Today she says, "It's not about getting what you want, it's about patience."
Can you hear me?
As I hold your hand I thought about how many times I studied them, the shape, your fingers, your rings, the softness. I think about the mornings over a cup of coffee and a cigarette and watching how you held your cards while we played our thousandth game of gin rummy. I think about seeing … Continue reading Can you hear me?
St. Patrick, Take My Snakes
St. Patrick ran the snakes out of Ireland and I am fairly sure that they ended up in the United States! That is not the topic of this blog!! This Saint Patrick's Day was one of the first that I didn't enjoy a good pub crawl, a green beer, or a headache! Years past, I … Continue reading St. Patrick, Take My Snakes
Today ….
So since Lent is a reflective time to consider what God has done for us it was important to me to start off the season with Ash Wednesday. The ashes are a reminder that I came from dust and to dust I will return. In the meantime I have work to do. I have already … Continue reading Today ….
Joy? or no?
I am stubborn! This may come as a shock to you, but I am!! I am also a slow learner!! Some lessons have taken me over 40 years to sink into my thick skull!! For instance, I need to apologize to Mike when I do something that he doesn't appreciate. I don't like to tell … Continue reading Joy? or no?
FMD support
I found a FaceBook group called Let's Chat About FMD a couple of weeks ago. I thought maybe it would be an informative group since there is not a tremendous amount of information on this disease and the symptoms are different for many people. I have said before that the disease that gets the most money … Continue reading FMD support
Heart Repair at Christmas
Recently I have had many friends that have required heart surgery to repair various issues. It rattled some thoughts in my head and I realized that I never seem to think of all of the mechanisms at work that keep my heart pumping. Beside the obvious and magnificent elements that created such a perfect organ … Continue reading Heart Repair at Christmas
