Message in Music
I’m always impressed with musicians, especially songwriters who can capture a message so effortlessly in their songs. I don’t have a creative brain, so people who have musical or artistic talent, well I’m in awe of them too 🙂 . Me, ya even my stick figures when I draw, don’t look like stick figures 🙂…

Take Time to Make Time
A friend reached out a few days ago to say she was in town, well not far from me anyway, and asked if we could have lunch. My schedule that particular day was crazy and I was bummed as I replied that I didn’t think it would work out. A little while later she texted…

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…

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…
