Be Still…
This morning I made my way out to my patio to spend time with Father. As I mentioned yesterday, I needed to get back to having a conversation with Him rather than just reciting prayers. My relationship with him has kind of been on “auto-pilot” for the past few weeks and that isn’t where it should be. I…

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…

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…

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…

Give it a Try
This week there is a class taking place in our parish hall. It’s called an “icon writing” class. I found the title interesting, especially after realizing what the class teaches. The participants are painting a picture, an “icon” of Mother Mary and baby Jesus. Think of a cross between a paint-and-sip party and a fancy paint-by-number. Over the past…

It’s Ok to Bite Your Tongue
Now that’s a fun title for this little blog today I think. Let’s face it, we’ve all been there, in a situation where you really want to say something to someone but something inside you says you really shouldn’t. Ya, I’ve found myself there, recently even. Let’s face it, we’re human and there are just times when…

When the Soreness Set In
Like many, I’ve started the new year with a commitment to get myself back in shape. I’ve put on the pounds and it’s interesting, I can totally relate the way I feel physically to carrying that extra weight. It’s time to get back to feeling less aches and pains, fitting comfortably into clothes, and just feeling better.…

When You Hear Thank You
Last night I fell into a pretty deep sleep, which is unusual for me. I’m a pretty light sleeper. Anyway, I was having a dream at one point and I woke up with a start, hearing the words clearly, Thank You. I almost immediately thought, “Ok, that’s the title of the little blog tomorrow morning”. I fell back…

Reflections & Commitments
Back at this little blog this morning. The holiday break was nice and as I type this morning I find myself reflecting back on these past days. Our youngest was in town for Christmas and we enjoyed shopping, gaming, eating, and the traditional building of the Lego set. We joked about how some of the funny things that…

Just So
Yesterday afternoon my husband and I hauled over the last of the Christmas items in storage. With each tub that was opened, another area of our home was looking like Christmas. I took the lid off a tub and found the little tree that we bought last year when we traveled back north. We had…
