Holy moly. If you can only take a step back, maybe read a book or five, take a chill pill. Hold the train. Something. Anything. The thing is when you think ahead, the fret tree takes root and the worry and brooding becomes the fruit of the vine. The mantras and the Word made fleshContinue reading “Thinking Ahead, Just Chill”

It has been a painful journey lately as my dad struggles with his journey with dialysis. His kidneys are failing him. One is done like toast (I need humour at this point) and the other….well lets just say the percentage count of the second kidney’s function is not that high. Oh how did life getContinue reading “Dignity”

I have to say that I received a lovely package in the mail a few days ago from a special person in my life. In it, there were some lovely pieces of reading material. What a surprise to receive! I am not used to receiving things just for me and I do not accept giftsContinue reading “The Choice”

It has been a long time but here I am. I crossed the bridge, literally, and found my way back home. Home, a place I want to be. I am not sure one appreciates one’s home until it is gone. For me, suitcase living is okay for a bit but holy moly, country road, takeContinue reading “Its Good to be Home”

Tomorrow is not promised. That has been sitting with me for a couple of months as I came across it in an old Clint Eastwood movie Absolute Power. Good movie by the way. I think he said in it “tomorrow’s not promised to no one.” It goes back to the importance to me in beingContinue reading “Tomorrow is not promised.”

There is something about walking in the neighbourhood right now that I begin to sense a change. Can it be that spring has sprung?? Not to say the big snow flakes that befell yesterday did not exist because they DID! Grrr. But, aaah, I did feel something as I ducked in and out quickly inContinue reading “Curb in the Burb (:”

At lunch this past Friday, I got to spend a bit of time with two lovely people, eating and catching up with one another. Although I felt I was somewhat late as the morning got a way from me starting with an emotional phone call from my youngest daughter, then my dog’s cyst on herContinue reading “Graced Moments”

What time is it Mr. Wolf? It is Lent o’clock. Yes it is. That special time in the lives of Christians where one makes a concerted effort to give up something or take on something as one looks at resetting their internal being while walking with Jesus in the desert. FYI: Maybe don’t look outsideContinue reading “What Time Is It”

I do not think there is a time in our lives that suffering and pain, hurt and sorrow are not happening in someone’s family. Nor is there a moment where joy and laughter are not taking place at the exact same time. Oh the paradox of life before us. I think about the beautiful passageContinue reading “A time to laugh, a time to mourn”

I heard the birds chirping this morning. What a beautiful sound….for right now. LOL Some birds singing can be truly annoying. Even so, I realize that this winter in particular has not been a friend for nature as it teases the dickens out of what is what. Having little snow, then big snow, then rainContinue reading “What season is it? Seriously.”
