New Day, New Week
Oh yes…the beginning of a new week. We all know the feeling, it usually starts on Sunday evening. You realize, “Where did the weekend go?”. Mondays, in my opinion, have gotten a bad rap. Just because they are usually the first day of the week, usually associated with going back to work after a few days off, you get…

Friends, Laughter, Looks
Last night we had dinner with some long-time friends. They were down here for a few days. Our friendship goes way back, to when our kids were little. We’ve always been close, and though we are physically in different areas of the country now, when the opportunity presents itself, we get together. And…when we do, we usually just pick…

Sunrises and Market”ing”
I woke up early this morning. Big deal you say. Well, if you’ve read this little blog much, you know that I usually like to sleep in a bit on Saturdays. This morning though I’m heading out to our local farmer’s market. We’ve lived here many years and I’ve yet to go to it. Yes, in Florida, especially SW Florida,…

Back with My Buddy
Last year I shared a story about becoming friends with a very handsome Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Toby. He’s the fur baby of one of our neighbors named Joe. You see, Joe lost his wife to cancer last year and Toby was very close to her. When Joe and Toby came back down for the season, Toby…

What it Means to Me
Lately, I’ve been noticing something. Well, that’s kind of a wide-open observation, isn’t it. There are many things to notice daily, so can I just pick one here? Ok, seriously though, I’ve noticed that I’m seeing more people wearing or displaying a cross. Men, women, and even teenage kids. Yesterday at my little gym, a new “kid” started at the…

Simple Gifts
This morning as I sat down to write this little blog, I was reflecting on a couple of things from yesterday. I realized how a few simple gifts I received just made me smile. Sometimes people don’t realize how much they can affect someone with something so simple. As the old saying goes, “It’s the thought that counts”.…

When You Hear Thank You
Last night I fell into a pretty deep sleep, which is unusual for me. I’m a pretty light sleeper. Anyway, I was having a dream at one point and I woke up with a start, hearing the words clearly, Thank You. I almost immediately thought, “Ok, that’s the title of the little blog tomorrow morning”. I fell back…

Stop and…
There are many ways to finish the title of this little blog this morning. We’ve all heard them, stop and smell the roses, stop and take it all in, stop and listen. You get the idea and I’m sure you’ve heard them all. Well, last night on the way home from work I had one of those…

It’s a Short One
Ahhh, one of my favorite days of the year, December 21st. Why you ask? Well, it’s the shortest day of the year. Now some people would say, wait you want less time in the day? Sorry let me clarify, it’s the day of the year when we have the least daylight and the longest night. Sooo, that means tomorrow…

The Simpleness of the Season
Over the past few days, I’ve been mentioning in this little blog how I’ve been seeing and feeling the simple things about this Christmas. Yesterday I mentioned possibly starting a new tradition of just one gift and that one being homemade. I guess the simpleness of the season continued last night. We were late getting out of…
