New Day, New Week
Oh yes…the beginning of a new week. We all know the feeling, it usually starts on Sunday evening. You realize, “Where did the weekend go?”. Mondays, in my opinion, have gotten a bad rap. Just because they are usually the first day of the week, usually associated with going back to work after a few days off, you get…

Friends, Laughter, Looks
Last night we had dinner with some long-time friends. They were down here for a few days. Our friendship goes way back, to when our kids were little. We’ve always been close, and though we are physically in different areas of the country now, when the opportunity presents itself, we get together. And…when we do, we usually just pick…

Sunrises and Market”ing”
I woke up early this morning. Big deal you say. Well, if you’ve read this little blog much, you know that I usually like to sleep in a bit on Saturdays. This morning though I’m heading out to our local farmer’s market. We’ve lived here many years and I’ve yet to go to it. Yes, in Florida, especially SW Florida,…

Guilty Resting
Yesterday my husband and I went to the office. Well, let me rephrase that, he went into the office and worked, I on the other hand sat out on the dock behind the church with a fishing pole in my hand 🙂 . One of the benefits of working at our church is the location. As I’ve mentioned…

Back with My Buddy
Last year I shared a story about becoming friends with a very handsome Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Toby. He’s the fur baby of one of our neighbors named Joe. You see, Joe lost his wife to cancer last year and Toby was very close to her. When Joe and Toby came back down for the season, Toby…

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…

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…

When a Tune Says it All
Yesterday I heard a song and it’s been stuck in my head ever since. You all know how that goes. Like I’m pretty sure I could name a couple of well-known classics and just by naming the tune you could start singing the familiar chorus, and of course it would be stuck in your head the rest…

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”.…

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…
