Savoring the Quiet
Our lives rarely settle into quiet these days. We get absorbed in the music on our ear pods, our eyes glued to the computer or TV screens where we are getting our daily dose of entertainment or information. My blogs share a lot of “God-information” online. I often wonder if I am listening to way…
This Yellow Rose of Texas is Still Blooming
Look at my little yellow rose bush that decided to bloom in the freezing cold of winter. It spoke of hope and “Spring is on its way!” But it was teasing me. I took this photo just before the Arctic blast swept through. All my excitement of a “change” never looked like last week’s days…
Rain, Rain! Don’t Go Away – You are Welcome in this Day

Where Oh Where is Donna?
Yesterday, someone I just met said, “So where do you live?” It was the first time I needed to explain this season of my life. So I said, “Well, I fly by the seat of my pants, so wherever I land!” LOL! So, here’s the way I roll. I do my best to trust that…
