Flying High

I am grateful for recognizing my weaknesses and not being afraid to work on improving them.

Backups

I am grateful for hosting backups… I accidently hit a reset button on a website; tooled the whole thing. It would have been 7734 to rebuild the whole thing. BUT, thanks to backups, it is almost back to perfect with very little manual adjustments needed. So, yeah, thank G*D for backups. And thank GOD for…

Good Times are had

Once again this past weekend was a phenominal one. It began on Thursday with the celebration of life for one of the most loving ladies that I have ever known. She was a true teacher, who walked the walk of love, and followed the path of Jesus Christ. It was a small intimate group, mostly…

for the little boy who couldn’t find the conqueror in himself

I was going to write about how grateful I was that I don’t owe my brother a fiver. And, believe me, I am grateful for that. But I just finished watching the entire Netflix series, Adolescence, with my son and CP. Second time seeing it for me. It captures something quite pure, quiet… and broken….

It’s Getting Hot In Here

I am grateful for Ellie Parker, who has given me some ease of breath and labor for a bit. May I be wise with this gift.

Spiritual Wasteland

I grew up in the mirror I couldn’t see my face Turned the other way Running in haste An oasis in the desert Spring rain, winter thaw I’m learning to rise While gaining ground at a crawl I celebrate your win In my mind there’s no sin And the sun still shines On ruthless minds…

Happiness in all packages

At the end of February I attended the White Coat Ceremony at my sons medical school. He received his white doctors coat and took the oath to be a humane doctor, treating his peers, patience and others with respect and humanity. I was glad that I made the trip, to watch him begin a new…
