STORIES AND REFLECTIONS
About 172 Thankful Thursdays ago, I posted something I’ve been asked a few times now to post again. So, without further ado, let me share (pun intended) this cookie with you: At an airport one night With several long hours Before her flight. She hunted for a book In an airport shop, Bought a bag of cookies…
Today’s scheduled post was moved to “drafts” for a later date, because yesterday morning while I was praying I felt a nudge which I thought I’d share with you. I suddenly became aware of how I talk to God in complete and utter believe that He is listening. That was powerful. I mean, most times…
Not everything has to be monumental to merit a “Thank you, Lord” from us. Our days are filled with little good things, many little good things that go right. Be aware and recognize them. For me, those simple things may be coffee brewing in the morning, an elevator that didn’t take forever to arrive when…
How many times do we think, “It’s not me, it’s….” Yup, 🙋🏻♀️ More times than I should, actually. Often, we are quick to judge others’ behavior. But, do we ever stop to think what might be the reason for their behavior? What’s going on in their day, their life? A slightly different version of the…

It’s all fun and games until…life happens. As I laughed at this comic strip, the thought “always carry duct tape” came to mind. Probably because I say that a lot. Most times I mean it literally, because it happens to be a great survival tool. Usually the first item in our hiking backpack. But, while…
It seems there is a national day for everything. Yesterday was the one for siblings. And so I want to give a shoutout to mine, with much gratitude. Allow me some quick words about them: My sister was 10 years my senior. She was a beautiful soul who taught me many things. Among them, about…
