A new approach. I hope you like it.
Sometimes, new is good. I hope you’ll overlook the fact that I am reposting. I wanted to see what this looked like. Maybe I’ll post something like this every end-of-month, so in case you didn’t read a post, they are all in one place.
So, what do you think?
Besides, trying something new is good, right? And considering it’s the end of the month, it works out well.
Plus, I like being able to see my posts this way as well. It’s been two months of reflection and sorting things out. Mental health, identifying the truly important, and relationships. Some pretty heady subjects. But what else is there to do in these two dark, cold months?
Now, I contend with this Afib diagnosis. I’m having a hard time adjusting to the medications. But I try to see things in perspective. It’s not terminal. It’s treatable. Perspective certainly helps. Besides, I’m an overcomer in Christ.
If faith doesn’t work during times of illness, when will it?
I hope you have a great weekend and blessings to each of you.

Talent will not: nothing is more commonplace than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone… Read more

doubting my ability to cope tomorrow
I’m sitting here watching my little five-year-old grandson play with his toys. Everyone is gone but him and me. He’s oblivious to my pain. He’s absorbed in his own world, just like a five-year-old should be. He looks at me and giggles and I smile. How can I smile the night before I look on… Read more

(You are reading this post on Monday, May 15. I’m writing it on Friday, May 12.) My mom passed away yesterday and I haven’t stopped crying. I just know I’m going to wake up tomorrow morning and instead of a funeral to attend I am going to go over and have some morning coffee with… Read more

Listening to what might be her last breath
I’ve been resting with my eyes closed listening to you breathe. I don’t know when your breaths will stop. Why do I find such comfort? Yet, I do. With each breath you breathe, I am reminded of life. With each breath you breathe, I am reminded of my own mortality. With each breath you… Read more

when dreams will never come true
As I sit and watch my mom, it’s like she’s only sleeping and will wake up any moment and ask for coffee. We’ll sit and enjoy our coffee together. I’ll ask her what day she’d like to go get her flowers to plant. “Hey, mom, why don’t we repaint your outdoor furniture this year.” Later… Read more
