Today, as I was thinking about my story, a nagging thought kept trying to work its way into my mind. You know, those little thoughts of doubt that take us back a step or two, and try their best to rob us of our confidence. We all have had them from time to time. SometimesContinue reading “WISE WISDOM WEDNESDAY”
TEAMWORK TUESDAY
My Tuesday story is a tad late for a couple of reasons. One, I had no idea what I was going to write about. I few thoughts roamed my mind during the day, but nothing struck my fancy. This time of the year, the time has a way of slipping through my fingers and todayContinue reading “TEAMWORK TUESDAY”
MORE THAN ANYTHING MONDAY
Today was rainy and damp. It was a perfect day to start putting up my many trees. I was able to put up three and completely decorate one.

SUNSHINE SUNDAY
It was a beautiful day! It almost felt like spring. Everything about the weather was terrific. However, as my mom used to say, ” We’re going to pay for this day.” I took advantage of the warm sun and bright skies.

I lovedContinue reading “THE SATURDAY ALMOST SUNDAY SCOOP”

A grandson who is dealing with mental illness. This story is about a twenty-five-minute car ride that stretched out to be much more than IContinue reading “I WAS BLIND BUT NOW I SEE”

He is forever in my heart. I started writing the Skyler Letters as a way of helping meContinue reading “A Special Skyler Letter”

It is the night before Thanksgiving, and I am busy in my kitchen. The house smells inviting with cherry, pumpkin, and apple pies baking in the oven. As I worked to make the desserts, I thought about each member of my family who will be here tomorrow, all together, in the same house for atContinue reading “WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY”
