Stop Drop and Pray
Help! I really didn’t realize how old I was until I was on the ground and found it difficult to launch upward! That sounds funny, but it is true for many of us in our golden years. So, what do we do to get back up? We learn good techniques and practice them. And there…
Reminder: Tough Times Don’t Last
I’ll admit I have enjoyed watching the “Survivor” TV series since the show began. The resiliency, determination, grit and shrewdness of the cast amazes me. They go hungry if their team doesn’t win the challenge, they go through the most grueling obstacles, and their living conditions are dreadful. Nope! I couldn’t do it. I need…
Connecting the Dots
I have learned to connect the dots on so many levels. God helps me with that. Daily. If I don’t have enough time to work out, rather than stress about it, I chill. No sense making an ado about nothing. Connect the dots of “chilling” on this day. Maybe my body needs a rest day.…
Seedtime and Harvest
If you saw my blogs the last couple of days, you’ll know I am a married woman now. Wow! What a difference a few days can make. I am awakened to the fact that it’s not just about me, me, me any longer. It’s about we, we, we! And isn’t that what God called us…
UNEQUIVOCALLY Continuing On!
One thing I learned during my “widowhood” season, from November 16th, 2010, to August 8th, 2023, is that we card-carrying members of widowhood are some of the best people in this entire world. We lived through pain, life-upheaval, and heartbreak, and so many of us have come out the other side more beautiful than ever…
A Lot Can Happen in Nine Months
That’s typically how long it takes to give birth to a baby. That’s pretty much a school year and it’s time enough for a couple to meet, date, fall in love, get engaged for one week and get married. That’s our story and we’re sticking to it. My “friend” that I talked about in some…
PEACE — at all Cost
If I know peace it is because I know God. Know peace, know God. No peace, no God. And the peace I know is a peace that passes all understanding. I have written many blogs about peace. That peace is the basis for my MyPeaceZone.com website and this blog. Out of the seemingly most difficult…
Sunflowers Follow the Sun
Happy first day of August! I took down my July 4th patriotic décor on July 21st. I was ready to display my sunflowers vignette because August is the sunflowers’ time to flourish! Sunflowers captured my attention for this blog today! They are beautiful examples of God’s handiwork. They can reach upwards of 10 feet, with…
I See My Mom in the Mirror
I am approaching a milestone birthday next month. Goodness! It seems just like a few days ago, I was celebrating a milestone birthday and here I am already to another one! AND, lo and behold, I look in the mirror and I see my mom! I am starting to look like her more each day.…
Enjoying Billowy Cloud Cover
Our trip to East Texas and Epiphany Ranch didn’t disappoint! We took advantage of the wonderful, somewhat cooler temperatures. We went to see my sweet cousin, Mary Ellen Snow, who moved to Tyler, TX from Frisco, TX. We were neighbors in Frisco, buds in Tulsa and Dallas before that. It looks like the cousins still…
