10 car pile-up, SUV banged up, hassles with insurance company, work day wasted….Ugh, what an inconvenience and headache! BUT, my husband came out without a scratch, as did the other drivers.

Thankful for others’ good times. None of us is immune to adversity; be it financial, relationship, job, or health related. We all have our share of hardships and, fortunately, we have each other when it counts the most. My prayer list for those in need grows by the week, it seems. Which is why I…

For long weekends! Here’s to decompressing. Enjoy yours! “Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us.” – Maya Angelou “Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop.” – Ovid
