There are times in life when I’m more aware of things going on that are unusual or odd. Yesterday was one of those days. I had two examples of events occurring that caused me to pause and wonder what that was all about. The first is a twist of good fortune. I have had problemsContinue reading “Unusual Occurrences and Such”

Back at It….
A friend reminded me this evening that it had been a while since I’d posted anything on this site. I knew it had been at least a couple of days, but didn’t know it had been four days since I’d last posted anything. No real excuses here, but thinking back I can try to figureContinue reading “Back at It….”
Some Days are Better than Others…
One of the things that I’ve learned during this period of uncertainty during the Covid-10 pandemic is that some days will be better than others. Not that it should have taken something like the worldwide spread of a virus to do this, but it definitely has become much clearer now. I have been in theContinue reading “Some Days are Better than Others…”
My Thoughts on it All – Pandemic 2020
Here we are, in the middle of April, a time where our minds turn to baseball and all those things we love to do outside. But this year is dramatically different from most any we’ve ever experienced, feeling the effects of the worldwide pandemic knows as Covid-19.

One Big Thing…Part Two
So my idea of “one big thing” per day is working pretty well. What used to be a commonplace activity has become the highlight of the day.

Shared Reading: From Richard E. Byrd’s “Alone”
“But you must have faith- you must have faith in the outcome, I whispered to myself. It is like a flight, a flight into another unknown. You start and you cannot turn back. You must go on, trusting your instruments, the course you have plotted on the charts, and the reasonableness of events. Whatever goesContinue reading “Shared Reading: From Richard E. Byrd’s “Alone””
Back on Social Media – The Hiatus is Done…
Yesterday was Easter Sunday and time to break my hiatus from social media. I had considered not logging back on, but after some deliberation and with the current state of social distancing, I thought it probably would be a good idea to go back. So a quick change from the all-black profile pic and coverContinue reading “Back on Social Media – The Hiatus is Done…”
One Big Thing a Day…
The days of quarantine continue to to trudge along. As I was telling my daughter, some days will be better than others. The past couple of days have been good ones and I’m trying to think in positive terms about the days ahead. Yesterday, I helped my daughter and her mother’s family and my sisterContinue reading “One Big Thing a Day…”
Another Week Almost Done….
Another week in the surreal world of the unseen enemy is nearly done. It’s been just over three weeks of quarantine due to the coronavirus. I’ve learned just when you think things can’t get any more complicated, any more surreal, they most often do. The new routine of life is definitely an adjustment. Getting usedContinue reading “Another Week Almost Done….”
Daily Readings for Wednesday, April 1st
Meditation for the Day God is all around us. His spirit pervades the universe. And yet we often do not let His spirit in. We try to get along without His help and we make a mess of our lives. We can do nothing of any value without God’s help. All our human relationships dependContinue reading “Daily Readings for Wednesday, April 1st”
