Finding Joy
My word for 2013 is Joy and I find that sometimes I forget to find the joys in my daily living. But yesterday it hit me right between the eyeballs. In the lower level of my home (basement) there are windows that allow you to see the backyard (most especially the...
Socks and Shoes
On June 30th, my "Christian" was running around playing….it was the last day he wore socks and shoes ...until today. Today was the first day since the 30th that my sweet, 7 year old has put both socks and shoes on and did not need the wheelchair. He's not...
Struggles
I will admit, when I ask someone how they are doing I am not wanting to hear the litany of everything that is wrong. I expect the obligatory, "I'm fine." I answer "I'm fine" before I even have the chance to think about what is going on in my life. When I hear myself...
