Thankful Thursdays

Posted on March 9, 2017 by Connie Perez

Check your pulse. Okay good. Now thank God. Repeat as necessary. And let’s be thankful for our daily routine. We get so bogged down by having to do the same stuff day in day out, don’t we? But don’t fret. Remember, Bill Murray (Groundhog Day) had a chance to do it better each day. 😉…

Posted on March 2, 2017 by Connie Perez

For Lent. I am so glad we have entered the season of Lent. Maybe, just maybe, it’ll help put out some of the fires. This is a time when we strip away the unnecessary and try to become more mindful of God and how He works in our lives; a time when we practice fasting,…

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on February 23, 2017 by Connie Perez

For 39 years and counting. This coming Tuesday, my students will receive the sacrament of Confirmation. It’s been another great year with another great group of kids. Mission accomplished. I pray for them, for their success, health, and happiness, and for a long life led by the guidance of their best friend, Jesus Christ. For…

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on February 16, 2017 by Connie Perez

For 90-minute drives. Not the kind that take you to and from work, no please, not those. More like the east coast to west coast kind. Long enough for some nice chats, yet short enough to get us there with plenty of time to enjoy great eats, meet some of the locals, and take in…

Posted on February 9, 2017 by Connie Perez

For human decency. I love to be on the receiving end of politeness, thoughtfulness, compassion, good will, tolerance, and forgiveness, don’t you? Let’s bring decency back into fashion, pretty please! We champion so many causes. Save the trees! Save the whales! Save the ice caps! Sure, I’m all for the environment, don’t get me wrong….

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on February 2, 2017 by Connie Perez

For those who can agree to disagree. What?! Nowadays?! Yes, especially these days. It’s easy peasy to hold a conversation with someone who agrees with you [cue the love and fireworks]. But quite tricky to do so with someone who doesn’t. I am grateful for those who can respect another’s opinion without giving up their…

Thankful Thursdays

Posted on January 26, 2017 by Connie Perez

For the blessing of being able to bring to fruition a miracle, that of bringing life into the world — to protect it, to respect it. Nothing else has ever made me feel more aware of God. I cannot for one instance imagine life without Danny and Lauren. Their lives were a choice. Whatever choice…

Posted on January 19, 2017 by Connie Perez

For good medical reports! Phew! That’s all I’m going to say ’bout that. We know not all the money, possessions, success, etc., is worth a hoot without health. And even though we know, we spend the least amount of time on what matters most…almost as if we were immortal and had forever. Thanks for all…

For my village. “It takes a village,” as you know. As I’ve mentioned before, the last 10 months or so have been overwhelming, to say the least. With Mom’s health and mind deteriorating, selling her home, relocating her to an interim place, and subsequently moving her to an apartment, seemed like an unsurmountable task. Crazy…

Posted on January 5, 2017 by Connie Perez

For oxygen. Mine consists of Ray, Lauren, and Danny. I breathe in and feel their support; I breathe out and feel their love. Oh, what a relief it is. What’s your oxygen? And what are you thankful for today? “Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family….
