One of my favorite quotes is: “There are years that ask questions; and years that answer them,” by Zora Neale Hurston. It goes right along with my belief that life is full of seasons, whether they last months, years, days or hours. Right now is the season for me to support those around me. When [...]

Welcome to the New Year! Yes, I am a bit slow this year. And I had plans for many lovely posts during the holidays that just did not materialize. As I told my Journal this morning, “I was too busy living life to write about it.” Sorry excuse, but it will have to do. To [...]

This is the view out my front window. Beautiful. Majestic. Inspiring. Peaceful. Just what I need right now in my life. This mountain has became everything that it is today because of the harshness of it’s past. It’s not the tallest mountain, or the most beautiful, or the most rugged, or the most… anything, really.

What a gift for me to get to read about so many wonderful, special Grandmas and what they have meant to some of you. Thanks for sharing such special memories and traditions! Today I read about another special Grandma, [...]

Grandma was thrilled – she did not like the name “Nellie” and threatened me when I suggested using Nellie as [...]

We tend to think they are ‘gifted’ with a positive attitude and maybe they just haven’t had any real trials in life. That their struggles are easier on them because they have optimism in their [...]

One year ago our lives were taking some drastic turns. There are seasons of relative calm in life and there are seasons of whirlwinds; and everything in between. We were just starting to settle into a relative calm at the beginning of 2008. We were not where we needed to be yet, but we were [...]

Well, we did it. We finally made the move and are working to settle ourselves in a whole new environment. There are have been many bumps, hills, corrections and adjustments, but it’s all working out for the best. In the end, nothing is happening that isn’t for our good. The week before we left was [...]

Today is not the greatest day so far. It is only 9:30 am, so I have time to change that – and I’ll try. But I woke up feeling sick, don’t really have too much more to pack until next week, and I miss my kids. On top of that, a friend from church called [...]
