I feel like I just posted yesterday, and now here we are again—Thursday already. Time seems to fly by faster each week. Between checking off to-do lists, hopping from one task to the next, and juggling responsibilities, the days blur together. By Thursday, all I can think about is the weekend. Can you relate? But…
Thankful Thursdays
Your candidate won? Congratulations! If not, take a deep breath—four years will fly by before you know it. You can try again then. Either way, we can finally say goodbye to the annoying election ads, emails, and texts, and welcome back the familiar barrage of mildly irritating medicine commercials and onslaught of store discount messages….

As we sat in Mass this past weekend, two of the youngest in the crowd, I couldn’t help but feel youthful. We now go to a church where the average age is around 75; I estimated there were 400+ years sitting in our pew! But you wouldn’t know it by how they interact. They greet…

Disheartening and infuriating—the two emotions that currently weigh heavily on my mind, especially after seeing the unsettling images coming in this week. North Carolina continues to grapple with the aftermath of a natural disaster. It’s disheartening to see recovery efforts moving so slowly in a country as advanced and rich as ours. And then…

My hands were full. Loaded. I followed someone off the elevator to the next set of doors, and they went through without holding it open for me. Oblivious! I swear, sometimes it feels like everyone is just in their own bubble. That incident yesterday morning reminded me that simple gestures can really make a difference….
Thankful Thursdays
As I was saying…. Wow, it feels like I’m caught in a time loop. Just two weeks ago, I was writing about the looming threat of a hurricane. I can practically repeat my entire post from September 26, except move the setting a few miles south. As we navigate this familiar cycle once more, our…
Thankful Thursdays
Blah blah blah….I cannot with those people who are all talk and no walk, who say one thing and do another. The world is in shambles and all I hear is endless meaningless chatter. And the actions I see don’t align. Ugh! [Focus, Connie …just breathe… remember this is a gratitude-themed blog]. Anywho…speaking of walking…

Looks like we’ve dodged a direct hit here in South Florida! After riding out a few storms over the years, I can’t help but feel a wave of relief and gratitude. The lead-up to a hurricane can be a bit nerve-wracking, so it’s such a relief to see we’re getting through this one in good…

What is it about a random burst of inspiration that feels so refreshing? You’re cruising through a regular day, and suddenly—bam!—an idea pops into your head out of nowhere. Like when you’re showering (I call that an epishower), or while you’re cooking (I call that a rarity, for me 😉 ), or maybe during a…
Thankful Thursdays
Another picture that´s worth a thousand words…and a few more. The latest iPhone is pretty awesome from what I hear. Isn’t it incredible how much technology has advanced? But, wow…how this mini computer robs us of potentially valuable moments. My opinion. I fall prey to it, don’t you think different. This yin and yang of a…
