Silver Saturday

hello.
I love my life, no doubt about that
even in the dark days or the less sunny seasons
I have kept my faith and my buoyancy with the help of
friends ( like you :-) ) and family - God bless them!
I have joy and peace that comes from knowing that
all is as it should be.
Proof of that last statement is this:
This is how it is, how could it be another way?

What God has given us is so much more than we expected
and so much more than we deserved.
My mom has had much more time than most women
to enjoy her comfy warm home, her dog, her beautiful mountain community
and recently to re-experience camping in the Sierra Nevada and locally.
She has been generous with her family, and it has come back to her,
she gets the kind of loving care and attention that we all would want.
I can sense the gratitude in her heart for being able to be
in her own home, not on strong pain medications
and able to visit freely with those who come to call and pray with her.

We are ever so thankful that God has made this day
and filled it with such beauty.
Thank you for your prayers.
Mom lives, and fully, until she is translated into God's presence at some future time.

i am so tired
mom is too
life goes on
and mercy is new every morning
i think i will turn in early
and speed up the arrival of some new mercy
and less bags under my eyes

parents weekend

just back from a weekend visit
to Hannah at her university.
what a wonderful girl and
what a great amount of work she is doing and
the performance was absolutely terrific.
Thank you, God for my special daughter

FALL?? not at all

better days
we are having a great life
all of us
and it is surely because of God's goodness
the sky is clear today
and I see wonderful occasions to celebrate
in the future

this weekend is parents weekend at Hannah's university
so I will be down there seeing her Saturday and part of Sunday.
