Happy Place

Yesterday on social media I saw pictures of friends who were in their “happy place”. You know what I mean, the places they go where they feel total peace and happiness. I saw pictures of people at the beach, skiing in the mountains, hiking trails in the woods, and yes, even on the golf course. These are the…

When the Soreness Set In

Like many, I’ve started the new year with a commitment to get myself back in shape. I’ve put on the pounds and it’s interesting, I can totally relate the way I feel physically to carrying that extra weight. It’s time to get back to feeling less aches and pains, fitting comfortably into clothes, and just feeling better.…

Old Christmas and Family

Yesterday at work I was moving from task to task and was pretty much all over the campus. We have a new cleaning crew for the month so I was showing them what needed to be taken care of, our facilities manager is on vacation so I was attending to some tasks that he normally handles,…

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…

A Prayer for 2024

Happy 2024 friends. As we begin a new year with so many new opportunities I wanted to share this prayer that Billy Graham offered back in 2008, printed in the Saturday Evening Post. As I read it this morning, all I can say is it is so beautiful, timeless, and perfect for today, I just had to…

Final Preparations

As I thought back over this week, I realized this morning as I sat down to write this little blog that the final preparations for Christmas were happening around me. We had a team lunch in our office yesterday, when I went to pick it up at this little shopping area downtown, you could see visitors…

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…

Only Made with Love

Yep, we are just one week away from Christmas. As we all scramble to get those last things checked off the list, the last minutes gifts, the baking, Christmas cards, and parties, I hope we can find a moment to just be. I’m just as guilty as others, getting so wrapped up in the traditions and the…

Rose Sunday

One week from today is Christmas Eve. I know, if you are like me you are not quite sure where the entire year went, much less December. Today though, we celebrate Rose Sunday, or the third Sunday in Advent. We, like many, have an advent wreath displayed in our home. There is one pink candle among the three…
