For a lifetime’s worth of words. Some pictures, as they say, are worth a thousand words. Others, a lifetime of them. Here is one of those. One image that turns 70 this month. On an April day in 1949, my parents, then teenagers and dating, took a day trip to Las Cuevas de San Vicente,…

For my collage of happy. I like the way a positive thought can carry me through the day. Even a rainy day. I have found that if I start off my morning with good thoughts (and prayer), chances are the rest of the day will feel pretty good. Of course, there are glitches: watching or…

For free stuff. The kind that’s good for the soul. My favorite free thing? Kindness. It’s the kind of stuff we can all afford to give (although sometimes it seems like pulling teeth). It’s great to give and awesome to receive. Truth is, you never know just how big of an impact a little bit…

For divine connections and human bridges. Every time I think about the individuals who were strategically placed in my life solely to help me connect the dots or link me with others who would come packed with added purpose, I get goose pumps. What the heck, just incredible. There was the acquaintance I hadn’t talked…

That God is in control. Raise your hand if you believe that He’s got this. Me, me, me, I do! In good times and in bad times, through thick and thin, He’s got this. Believing He provides every single piece of the puzzle my life is, is how I stay in peace. Figuring out where…

For the shake-up season. Hello, Lent! Yesterday brought us the beginning of this holy season and, for me, it couldn’t have come at a better time. I find myself being consumed by the level of wide-world criticism, negativity and hostility, and none of it is doing anything to fuel my spiritual soul. On the contrary,…

For the difference they have made. This past Tuesday, my students received the Sacrament of Confirmation. May God and the Holy Spirit always guide their paths as they venture out into the jungle. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of kids to finish off my CCD run, or a more beautiful ceremony. It…

For flaws. I have a decent amount of OCD-type blood running through my veins and…I’m somewhat of a control freak. Quite the combo, I know. I would love it if all of life (me, everyone and everything in the world) worked like a perfectly oiled machine. Yet, I know better, I know that God alone…

For choices. Fortunate to have them there for me to make. Blessed beyond measure by some of the ones I have made. “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you.” –Jeremiah 1:5 For Lauren and Danny, today and always, I am thankful. What are you…
