A Little Thought or Was It?

My daughter called me yesterday afternoon to chat. She’d had a rough day at work and just needed to let it out. Actually, I’d had a pretty weird day as well, so it was nice to talk. I tried to lend support where I could, and she did the same. By the end of the…

Saturday Peace

This morning I enjoyed a very peaceful time with Father on my lanai. I’ve shared here many times that Saturday mornings are different for me. A little later rise time and the quiet of the lanai are wonderful. The usual morning traffic that I can hear in the distance during the week is not there…

The Family Within

This morning, I find myself sitting here at this little blog, just giving thanks. Well, that’s a pretty wide-open statement, isn’t it? There are many, many things in this world to give thanks for, I know. What’s so different about this today? Last night we had our final Summer Soiree. I’ve mentioned them before. During…

Humbleness and Humility

This morning, right on schedule, I received my daily scripture reading and reflection from my Priest friend. I’ve mentioned him before here in this little blog. Like this little blog, there are days when his text just hits home. I find myself saying, “I needed this today”, after reading it. Today was one of those…

The 39th

Today is a special day. My husband and I celebrate our 39th anniversary. I’m typing this from one of my favorite places, sitting by the sea. We got up early to watch the sun rise over the Atlantic with a cup of coffee. I have to say, I’ve never seen the sea so calm. As…

Knowing What We Need

Wow, I slept in a little later than usual this morning; I mean, even for a Saturday. I guess sometimes your body knows what you need, and you just have to listen. As I thought about that this morning, something else came to mind. I’m guessing you know what I’m going to say. Sometimes Father…

The Tile Craze

Over the past year or so, I’ve watched the Mahjong craze grow and grow. It’s all over social media; many of my friends have taken up the game, and at our church on Wednesdays, there is a faithful crowd that enjoys almost three hours of play. Even in our small community, there is a group…

Be An Example

Yesterday, on the way to work, I noticed that our local police were out in large numbers. I counted four along my route. They were in all types of vehicles: their standard Explorer, the stealthy Mustang, and the pick-up truck. One had pulled over a driver, I presume for speeding, but I don’t know that…

We Will Be Them

I’ve always been an old soul. My mom dubbed me that a very long time ago. I’ve always loved being around seniors. They are special people; they have our history within them. Last night we had one of our Summer Soirees with our parish family. It’s an opportunity to go to dinner in the off-season…

Happy Birthday America

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Have a wonderful day, everyone. God Bless America!
