For our guardian angels. Devoted, ready at our side, ever-watchful. And no doubt super busy in this crazy world we live in. Yesterday was the Feast of the Holy Guardian Angels. I am thankful for mine….

Thankful Thursdays
For movies that move me. Whether a sci-fi that makes me wonder, a thriller that kicks in my arrhythmia, a drama that brings me to tears, a laugh-out-loud comedy that makes my sides hurt, a bio that inspires me, or my favorite: a feel-good flick that lifts my soul. I’m thankful for the movies that move me. Here are a few I’ve seen countless times and still stop me in my tracks every time I’m channel surfing:…

A Moment of Contorted Introspection
I did it! Finally. I prepared our estate papers. Wills, last wishes, directives, etc. We had been putting it off since forever. This is the sort of thing one should take care of the minute one becomes a parent, at least. But who likes to? Stupidly, one tends to think it would be like jinxing life. But, in reality, we take care of these things so our kids don’t have to go crazy later. Well, okay, more like a last ditch attempt at forcing them to do things our way.

Thankful Thursdays
For our moms’ cooking. Okay, it’s no secret I can’t cook (or don’t like to, I should say…okay no I really can’t). But, I’ve got a mom and a mother-in-law who rock the kitchen. Thank the Lord! For them both. “I read recipes the same way I read science fiction. I get to the end…
Thankful Thursdays
For birthdays. I love them. A day when we can have our cake and eat it too! Sure, some are more exciting than others, and some are downright scary. But, at home we’ve always been big on birthdays. We don’t just celebrate each other’s “day,” we celebrate each other’s “month.” Our doorbell plays the birthday tune pretty much the whole year. Sort of a reminder that we should celebrate life every day and thank God for the time we get with the ones we love….
