• The Difference of One Week

  Last week I resigned myself to living in limbo. This does not mean I sat idly by and did absolutely nothing just that I simply waited on God’s timing. Mom will always remind me of a favorite saying that is also a favorite family song, In His Time. I would sing this with Dad and…

• Flunking Tacos

  This afternoon I decided we needed to make tacos for supper. It’s been a while since we have done so too long. I enjoy making our own tacos with our favorite toppings and some rice on the side and tostitos. It’s fun usually. However, after I made that decision I looked for a package of…

• 2025 Versus 2020

  Goodness… I have been without words for much of the past 3 to 4 weeks. Not just the busy atmosphere of the Seasons either. I enjoy writing when I have something I believe I can share with others, but lately everything in my life feels complicated. The Christmas of 2019 was amazing even though we…

• A Week

  For nearly three weeks my family was dealing with different emotions. Not only were we missing a family member during Thanksgiving, that person was also in seclusion from his family. That can be a very scary thing to deal with on so many levels on both sides of the coin. Today marks a week since…

• Bruised Feet; A Full Heart

  This weekend saying it’s busy has been an understatement. There has been some craziness around here so it has actually been a welcome distraction for me. Music is the passion and talent God gave me from birth. It’s the gift that continues to give. As of this moment I am literally tied emotionally to three…

• Memories…25 Years Ago

  Tonight was choir practice at my Grandparents Church. The Pleasantville Church, will always, as long as I live, have that title for me. We ran through the entire lineup as well as missing a couple of the people necessary to complete the performance. Before we even began singing all of us ladies ended up playing…

• Sittin In… The ER Lobby

  After three days of having to be at the Greene County General Hospital; I was not expecting this one. Even Moms five minute x-rays didn’t require being there more than maybe twenty minutes all in all. Most of that was waiting and waiting to register more than the actually x-rays. There was a moment on…

• Sittin In… A Clinic

  Friday was the day Mom had to reschedule an appointment from the day before. If Dad hadn’t have had an agenda of his own that day she would have made it Thursday afternoon, but she canceled it and was fortunately able to find an opening on that Friday morning. Sometimes I feel like I am…

• Sitting In… The Lobby

  Wednesday was a good day. I was really excited that my therapy was about to start. It has been a good 6 years since I first had to go through therapy before getting to the MRI for my initial diagnosis. Only a month and a half ago was my first time back in this hospital…
