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”.…

A Short Time Here
Yesterday was a busy day, like most these days. I was bouncing from one thing to another, lots of people coming and going in the office, several meetings going on, you get the idea.

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

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…

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…
