Well hello and happy Monday! It is a rather humid morning here (my hair was sticking straight up on my head when I got back from my walk!) but not too warm. The sun seems to be hidden but, all in all, a nice morning. It has been a productive…

Key West Cruise 2025
Editor’s note: This was scheduled to post this morning at 6:30. I just received notice that it “miss schedule” – huh? I’ve no idea what that means except that there was no post this morning. It is a wonder that I have any readers left at all. I do apologize…

A Few Songs…and then Down a Rabbit Hole
Maybe it is this snow on the ground that refuses to melt – even a little. Or the forecast that reminds us it won’t be melting any time soon. It is going to get cold! I’m not sure why but my mind has been going down a lot of rabbit…

A Look at Panama
As I scrolled through the photos from my recent trip, I realized a few things. One – I do not take many pictures. I never have but I had hoped to do better this trip. But so many were taking lots of pictures and I knew there were would be…

Thankful Thursday: Panama Edition
I am home! The perfect way to begin a “Thankful Thursday” post! Yes, the trip was great. In so many ways. But, I have to admit, this homebody is grateful to be home. I spent the day yesterday getting back into my routine, catching up on things that could not…

A Gentle Reminder
Good morning. Welcome August. And, for us, another Heaven birthday to remember. August 1st is the day our family lovingly calls our Tyler’s Heaven birthday. I’ve blogged about it often – here and here and many other times – and wondered if I should do so again today. I struggle…

Some Favorites Heading Towards Thanksgiving
Happy Monday….and Happy Thanksgiving week here in the States! I have enjoyed considering and posting about some of my (perhaps otherwise overlooked) many blessings this month. The idea came from a list of gratitude prompts I saw somewhere online. I handpicked a few but, honestly, the list was quite a…

Counting My Blessings: Even in the Hard
Welcome to Thursday and the continuation of counting my blessings….trying to use some prompts and purposefully considering some of my blessings this month. Blessings that I might otherwise overlook or, perhaps, not even see as blessings. Honestly, my goal is to have a bit of a remembrance for myself. I…

Naming My Blessings – Join Me
Happy Monday! November, at least in my small corner of the world, has gotten off to a gorgeous start! For me, that means no snow (although many have already had some of the white stuff – oh my!) and plenty of sunshine …with temperatures close to 70! So much autumn…

Finishing Up My Gratitude List
Just a little bit more gratitude….bear with me. I’m not sure the internet needs one more thought, list, motivation or creative way to improve our gratitude, but I did not finish my own reflections last week. Perhaps this post is simply for me. A purposeful way for me to pause,…

A Memory of My Mom
Fridays are often reserved for Five Minute Friday; however, on mornings when I volunteer, it can be challenging to get a post up and running before I have to get out the door. This week is one of those Fridays. This week has also been “one of those weeks” and…
Reflections on Another Birthday
Today marks another birthday. Another birthday that should have been – but will be missed. My sweet Tyler, who has been in Heaven for thirteen years, would have been twenty-seven. Yes, a grown man with, no doubt, a family and home of his own, but we still would have made…
