Friend, Family, Father

A few weeks ago I shared a story about a group of friends in FL who helped me decorate an area of our home. It’s been great fun getting to know these new friends. We’ve shared stories and learned so much about each other, and we’ve built a strong friendship in a very short time.…

Comfy Shoes

Yesterday I was packing for my trip. Like most ladies, I have to stand in my closet and decide which shoes I’m going to take. I have this event, that event, I need to be able to log the 30,000 steps each day, etc. Ya, it’s a chore for sure! Well, as I was struggling…

The Captain

If you’re lucky you come across a person in your life who is a role model, a shining example of character, and a truly loving soul. Well, I have been so fortunate. Captain John was such a person. John was a dear friend, one who I looked at as a second father to me. And,…

Phone a Friend

There are times in our lives when, let’s face it, mentally, we’ve simply had enough. Your brain can’t process any more “stuff” coming into it. Your emotions are off the rails, your body physically says, “Um, Hello, will ya give it a break already?”, you finally say enough and you step away. Well trust me,…

A Special Place

I find myself, now more than ever, talking with Father. My conversations and prayers are very different than before. My relationship has changed, it’s more meaningful, to me at least, not sure about him, but I like to think it’s more meaningful for him too 🙂 I talk with Father throughout the day, probably like…

What if Every Day was Saturday

Ahhh… Saturday Morning! If you’re like me, it’s usually the only morning you get to sleep in. Well a little anyway. I’ll be honest, when I go to bed on Friday nights, I’m usually way more relaxed. I hop in to bed knowing, I don’t have to set the dreaded alarm. Saturday morning routine is…
