Opening a Door
If you’ve been reading this little blog for long, you know that I spend time each morning and evening out on my lanai. It’s quiet time with Father, oh and the view is a plus too 🙂 . During the week I’m out on the lanai very early in the morning, like right now it’s still dark…

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…

If it Helps…
Each morning and evening as I spend time with Father I make a point of praying for people by name. I pray for those who are facing health challenges, those who have lost loved ones, and those who are traveling, whatever the reason, I just make a point of naming them in my prayers. Father knows the…

Sometimes We Just Need…
Some days I think it’s best to just say little prayers. This morning when I was sitting on the patio, (in my sweatshirt, jeans and fuzzy slippers, yes it’s cold here), I was thinking about things I wanted, and needed to do today. Typical Saturday chores like going to the grocery store for instance come to mind. However,…

Has anyone else been experiencing the flying by of the days lately? I know there is a saying the older we get the faster time goes by. I get it now for sure. When I was little it seemed like it took forever for some things, like the school year to end. Now, I’m like, um, where did the…

New Beginnings
Last year I shared several blogs about a beautiful eagle family down here in SW Florida. We have an “eagle cam” that captures the day-to-day life of these amazing creatures. There was tragedy last spring when the mother Harriett was killed by a predator as she tried to protect her eaglets while M15 the father was out…

They Made a Difference
Yesterday was our youngest’s birthday, and our oldest daughter just had a birthday a few weeks ago. For each of them this year, I did something different instead of posting on social media the embarrassing pictures of when they were young, you know those baby pictures, the goofy hairstyles, the princess dresses, ya some of them…

From Scratch
One day last week I was making pasta for dinner. I did the usual, chopped up the onions, and green peppers, cooked them with the meat, pasta into the boiling water. Then I asked my husband to grab the spaghetti sauce from the pantry. He looked around and then came out saying, “Um I don’t see any spaghetti…

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”.…

Give it a Try
This week there is a class taking place in our parish hall. It’s called an “icon writing” class. I found the title interesting, especially after realizing what the class teaches. The participants are painting a picture, an “icon” of Mother Mary and baby Jesus. Think of a cross between a paint-and-sip party and a fancy paint-by-number. Over the past…
