What images are presenting themselves in your mind when you hear the word "calling?" What is the first thought that penetrates deep within the grey matter of your brain? Do you see a wall phone ringing, insisting on attention? Or a graham cracker sized computer safely placed in your back pocket that announces unknown caller?... Continue Reading →
Recently a friend shared that his grandson may have a serious illness. It is an unlikely diagnosis but the child's Pediatrician wants to perform some tests. In most cases I would express compassion, promise to pray for this child and go on with the duties of my day. I would feel sorry, but not overwhelmingly... Continue Reading →
It has been over six months since I last shared my thoughts with you. Nope, I wasn't swallowed up in a fish like Jonah or lost in space. I was mostly tired and discouraged.

Twenty-eight years ago I said "I do" to my sweetheart, Chris. In that time we have been through raising teens, loss of parents, and welcoming grandchildren to our family of misfits. I have been very fortunate that Chris has stayed far away from surgical repairs of any kind. However, I have had multiple surgeries on... Continue Reading →
I remember one year my husband and I decided to begin planning a vacation. Since we both work in healthcare it is literally like pulling teeth to be granted time off together. I thought by the time a person earned gray hair and a double chin, some things in life would get easier. Let me... Continue Reading →
My husband and I are the owners of two, thirteen-year-old hound mixes. We enjoy our daily walks with them...no, actually, it is a stroll. Sam prefers to trot, but Frodo can barely move and sits down for a breather every block or so. Just in case you are wondering why we still take Frodo for... Continue Reading →
