The lessons we learn during our lifetime don’t stop until we have no more life! Every problem we face and how we handle them is a lesson. No matter the outcome. Do we learn from them? Hopefully we do, at least sometimes. Having to face so many stressful situations sometimes seems like we can’t takeContinue reading “Life Lessons Are Just That!”

I was proud that I had listened to my instincts and winterize everything already. Well one shouldn’t get too smug. I didn’t bring to this house one of my snow shovels! I did have my carpet rake so decided to try that. Worked good enough until the snow plow came doing the road and areaContinue reading “Winter Has Arrived!”

At church today, I found out the woman in front of me, crying, had just lost her husband.

She only has herself and her dog now.Continue reading “Another Loss, Another Broken Heart”
