Thankful Thursdays

Posted on March 19, 2020 by Connie Perez

For those making a difference. Today, I want to give a really loud shout out to healthcare workers and people in the service industry who are on the front lines of this outbreak. These doctors, nurses, nursing home workers, and all those keeping grocery stores, pharmacies, and restaurant take-out operational, are putting themselves at risk…

For the antidote. These days, we focus on the Coronavirus and its effect on humanity. Scary stuff. Unfortunately, that is not the only dangerous toxin infecting people today. There is a cultural virus, equally or more contagious, that is causing great disconnect and divide in the world, and destroying souls in the process: Anger, intolerance,…

Posted on March 5, 2020 by Connie Perez

For the necessary thing, the better thing. Do you keep To Do lists? I do. On little post-its. Most mornings I jot down things I gotta do, or should do, or that I want to do that day. Although this time-management method is helpful, sometimes I get so wrapped up in trying to complete the…

Posted on February 27, 2020 by Connie Perez

For what we receive. Yesterday, Ash Wednesday (I know, it snuck up on us this year), marked the beginning of a time for us to sharpen our spiritual focus. During the season of Lent, most of us concentrate on repentance, almsgiving, and something to give up. But Lent is not just about that. It’s also…

For the furry ones. It is going on 9 years that we’ve had Nervous Nelly. Rather, I should say, that Nervous Nelly has had us…because she is untouchable. This feral kitten we rescued that summer of 2011 is content with being fed and having a porch, or a planter, or a house to chill on….

For love with a capital L. Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. A day for celebrating love. And what is love? Well, let me share with you what I believe to be love with a capital L: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does…

For the tools He provides. Wow, what a start to 2020. Don’t know about you, but for my family this year has been quite eventful so far. Brings to mind the fact that adversity, like death (and taxes), is an unavoidable part of life. The struggles, the setbacks, the obstacles, it can all really suck….

Thankful for those golden genes. For her, family, faith and friendship were at the forefront of life. And she showed us that every day. As some of you know, on Tuesday we lost my aunt, Ofelia, after a hard-fought battle post-surgery. Although she was old and a bit frail, her passing was unexpected. We really…

For 11,689 days. Yesterday, my hubby and I celebrated 32 years of marriage. For youngsters like us, that’s a lifetime. Okay, we’re not youngsters, but seriously, that’s a lot of days married. Fortunately for us, the good days have outweighed the bad. As with most couples making this commitment, the two of us set out…

For family reunions. It was long overdue, but this past Saturday, thankfully, we were able to gather for a family reunion, albeit minus a handful of members. I will tell you that those not there in body where most definitely there in spirit, as their presence was strongly felt. Getting a big group together for…
