My Ten Year Old
When my first child was born it was as if my life had just begun. "This is what life is all about," I thought, "Now, life begins." When my second child was born I knew my life would change. It wasn't just that the 10 year difference between my sons meant that I...
Birthday Blessings
Last night I attended a wonderful anniversary celebration for a couple who have been married for 55 years. 55 years! They are a vibrant, spunky pair. I hope that Joe and I are able to live lives filled with the kind of spunk they have when we hopefully are their...
Every Day is a “New Year”
Resolutions! Words! Promises! Whatever you call it we all look forward to the beginning of a new year. If last year was filled with pain and disappointments you will most definitely look forward to what the year has in store. I mean, it has to get better…right? ...
Welcome 2016!
It's been a wonderful start to 2016. A nice breakfast at home, cleaning up the house and putting away the final remnants of Christmas decorations followed by a movie. And of course we will have our traditional ham for dinner tonight. I treasure these moments…quiet...

Madly in Love
I loved high school. I had some amazing friends and memories that will last a lifetime. The only thing that seemed to be missing was that I never had a boyfriend. I wanted to have a special someone love me and I lived vicariously through some of my girlfriends. I...
If You Know Me….Better Than Most…
Most people who know me would probably say that I will always lend a helping hand when I can and that I tend to see the best in most situations. As an advocate, and in ministry these are things that help me to be successful most of the time. It's just always been...
Hope
I am a woman who has hope. I wasn't always that way. You know those people who are "glass half empty" people? That was me! As I've gotten older and especially as I have dealt with my youngest son's medical issues, I have held on to hope tighter than I ever...
Being Present
During the winter I tend to "hole up" in my home. The days are shorter, the cold sets in, and I just don't feel like going anywhere, most of the time. When I do have responsibilities (mostly at church) I can easily explain why I am not able to attend. Here lately my...
