A good neighbor is something people rarely speak about these days. People are so wrapped up in their busy lives that they forget that there are people living right next to them. Times have changed so much. I'm not totally sure it is for the good. Yes, technology is great! We all use it on …
Skill – To Learn…Good Question!
I must really think about this question. Learning anything at my age is a challenge. Well, it's not actually a challenge. I just don't have desire to try to push something else in my brain. At this point in my life, I must continue to hone-in on the things I already know and keep them …
Feeling…Right Now!
I am actually filled with many feelings at the present time. I am in the office alone - that's cool. My grandbabies are coming to swim - that's delightful. I'm moving this weekend - I love to redecorate. I'm going on vacation in 2 weeks- that's got me filled with anticipation. If I were to …
Daily Habit -Which One?
The first thing that comes to my mind is...having a cup of hot coffee. It may not be the sort of daily habit one might think of - but it clears the cobwebs and gives strength for the next thing on the list. Actually, there is one more important daily habit that I find to …

Family Traditions
The mere words of "Family Traditions" makes me smile and warms my heart. It is very rewarding to think of the traditions that my husband and I started when our boys were small to see them doing them today with their families. In this post I will list three of the traditions that come to …
Lean In…
The other day a small phrase was brought to my attention. It has been rolling around my mind trying to find a place to grow. Again, today I was listening to some music and one of the band members said that we need to “lean in.” What does it actually mean to “lean in”? I …
The Sun Still Rises
There are some things in life that you can always depend on. The sun rising each morning is exactly one of those things. How reassuring it is for that first beam of light pouring through my bedroom windows inviting me to live another day. The rising sun does not dictate how the weather will be …
A Quote to Live By…
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV). This scripture is my battle cry. No matter what the world may throw at me, I’ve been given a promise on which I can stand. This …
