Loving Yourself
Yesterday was busy. The Wreaths Across America event, thanks for your kind thoughts about this event. It was great to see so much activity around it, and so many of you participating as well in your own communities. We also had our little community holiday gathering with great food and socializing. We finished the evening…

Precious Wreaths
Today we will participate in one of my favorite holiday traditions, the annual Wreaths Across America ceremony. No matter where we have been in this country, we have participated. This organization is, in my opinion, simply one of the BEST. Their mission is simple to lay a wreath at the headstone of every veteran. This…

My Little Angel
When I was growing up we didn’t have much, but at Christmas, my mom always tried to make things a little more special. I remember we had an artificial tree, and in its day, it was pretty cool. Back then of course you didn’t just whip it out of the box and watch the pre-lit…

Not Good Enough
Yesterday was one of those days. It actually started off really positively. I was knocking things off the to-do list, I worked out early, got some great news from a friend, (thanks for the prayers this week by the way), it was going swimmingly you might say. But as the day moved on, little things…

The Cookies and the Kids
Boy doesn’t the title of today’s little blog sound like a great title for a movie? Well, maybe not so much, 🙂 . Anyway, just wanted to share a little about a fun event that is happening this weekend. Each year at our church, the second Sunday of December is “cookie Sunday”. Sounds pretty good…

Joseph’s Lullaby
Over the past week or so I’ve been listening to Christmas songs, yes I know, go figure, anyway… I’ve been trying to listen to songs that aren’t the mainstay. Don’t get me wrong, I love the favorites, O’ Come All Ye Faithful is my absolute favorite, oh and yes I’ll even turn up Mariah’s “All…

Not How Many but What
Last night after dinner my husband and I spent time wrapping some gifts. Usually, after we’ve brought home packages, I go through and sort out the purchases by who they are going to. You know you look to make sure when gifts are being opened, it’s “equitable”. I know I’m not alone in this thinking,…
