When Topsy Turvy is a Blessing
The past week was a stressful one for me, though I usually don’t realize the stress until it’s too late. I started off battling a migraine which is rare for me. By Wednesday I was feeling better and then I received a text for help. My grandson who works in Indiana had an accident and… Continue reading When Topsy Turvy is a Blessing
Taking God’s Love for Granted
I try to keep my house ready for company just in case. Why? Because you never know when someone might ring the doorbell besides the UPS delivery man. Yesterday very late afternoon I had decided to watch tv and make a card. So I carried out every piece of card making equipment I have and… Continue reading Taking God’s Love for Granted
Grandmas
God blessed me with grandchildren. My youngest is a teenager and my oldest is over 30. Tomorrow I’ll be taking my second oldest grandson (who is 35) to have outpatient surgery for a broken collarbone. Not just cracked, but broken completely in two pieces and separated. When I had shoulder surgery several years ago, my… Continue reading Grandmas
Who Is He to You?
Listening to the radio as I drove to church on Sunday morning, I heard the following question: “Who is God to you?” Immediately I began listing: Father, Savior, Friend, Healer, Comforter, Companion, Teacher, Leader, Guide, Family, Truth, Light, Redeemer, Creator, Counselor, Love, Goodness, Peacemaker, Everything… As I have aged, God has revealed Himself to me… Continue reading Who Is He to You?
Migraine Out of Nowhere
Last evening a migraine plagued me suddenly and painfully. Not sure what triggered it, but I’m grateful for medication and that I could sleep most of it off. Those who have ever suffered with migraines can relate to how they linger for a few days. I’m planning on staying inside and shading the windows from… Continue reading Migraine Out of Nowhere
Reflections on Life and in the Mirror
Templeton seems to be doing better. The past week, I was worried about him. Praying the medication is going to work to heal his intestines so he will recover completely.

Fog Brain, Chamomile and Lavender Tea, and Senior Sleepless Nights
Oh, the fog brain from lack of sleep! It was 3am before I finally fell into a light sleep. My cat, Templeton, doesn’t seem to care about such sleeplessness. When he wants me to be up and interacting with him, he doesn’t hesitate to notify me. Years of raising children, and most recently with being… Continue reading Fog Brain, Chamomile and Lavender Tea, and Senior Sleepless Nights
Left-Brain, Right Brain, or in the Middle?
Before I retired, I enjoyed creating databases in Excel and Access that would crank out reports for management. Today I enjoy working jigsaw puzzles, sudoku, logic, brain teasers anything that allows me to solve something. In the years I wrote and published novels, the joy came in putting together the pieces of the plots and… Continue reading Left-Brain, Right Brain, or in the Middle?
Happy Birthday to My Baby Brother
Today is my baby brother’s birthday. I call him a baby though he is only 2 years younger than me. Mostly because he is always reminding me I’m much, much older than him! This picture turned up when going through one of my mother’s drawers after her death. It is just a tiny picture like… Continue reading Happy Birthday to My Baby Brother
My Husband Taught Me To Age Gracefully
I learned the art of aging gracefully from my husband. One of his favorite hobbies was gardening. He loved being outdoors, mowing the lawn, weeding, planting multiple gardens and maintaining them, building and maintaining a backyard pond and so much more. He loved to build with wood. He didn’t need plans. His ideas transformed into… Continue reading My Husband Taught Me To Age Gracefully
