Sometimes the things you can't see help you see more clearly!
I have had this annoying allergy cough since the season started changing. It sounds a lot worse than it is. I think I nearly have it under control though. I’m glad it was nothing more than allergies. I remember once when I had a combination allergy cough and bronchitis…for weeks. It wore me out to … Continue reading Definitely Watch Which Way You Are Going
I have friends from childhood that live about seven or so hours away. We have corresponded for most of our lives, probably started in our early teen years. Our mothers became friends when they were both newlyweds. They consistently wrote letters to each other monthly for most of their lives.

Life is full of mistakes, wrong choices, sketchy decisions and things we just simply wished we had done better. I have traveled life’s pathway long enough to have sampled a few of each of these.

I am of a certain age (some would say old) where, as a child, one of the most exciting times of the year—which is fast approaching—was when the Sears Wish Book (otherwise know as the Christmas catalog) was delivered to our mailbox. This would begin hours and hours, and hours, of flipping through the pages, … Continue reading Seeing the Resurrection and the Life With Childlike Faith
Social media seems to have taken over the world. Having followers has become a huge, really crazy, big deal. Internet celebrities carry a lot of weight with their followers. They have the ability to sway public opinion with just a word dropped here and there. Some social media personalities lead you positively to good places, … Continue reading Holding In View the Way to Life
You can usually tell when a caregiver is family or a close friend of the person being cared for. There is a difference in the quality of care.
