My Top Three For the Week: 3.) Watching the movie Jane Austen's Bookclub - again. I never tire of that movie. Or You've Got Mail. If you haven't seen them, you won't regret taking the time to do so. 2.) Finding a quote that I needed to read exactly when I read it. Allow me to share it… Continue reading T.G.I.F. – Gratitude Friday

Timeout Tuesday
Slowly breathe in the fragrance of nature, and experience the peace and tranquility of God's blessings. “The earth has music for those who listen.” - George Santayana
Seize the Day
When I was on my morning run today, it occurred to me how much of life is spent waiting for something to get here. Whether that something is: Vacation. A loved one coming for a visit. Payday. A movie you've been waiting to come out on the big screen. The good part of a book you're reading. Summer… Continue reading Seize the Day

Heaven Gets Yet Another
I'm not much of a Facebook person, I must admit. I also admit I'm a bit of a skeptic of what many people post. And, yes, the shock factor some set out to achieve does, indeed, shock me into another state of mind at times. And the amount of information many share, information that the… Continue reading Heaven Gets Yet Another

While running one morning this past week, counting my blessings and adoring the breathtaking pink and white clouds as the sun… Continue reading Through Eyes of Surrender
Valuable and Timely Lessons
After reading my daily devotional this morning and while searching for the suggested scripture readings, I came across another devotion by Sarah Young in my Bible (Jesus Calling Devotional Bible, Enjoying Peace in His Presence) that spoke directly to my heart. I don't believe it was mere coincidence that this particular devotion came to my attention… Continue reading Valuable and Timely Lessons
Thankful Thursday – The Lives and Health of My Boys
I clearly remember the phone call I received from my 16-year-old son while I was nearing the end of a workday. "Mom, I saw someone shot. They aren't moving. Mom, there's so much blood." And the line went dead. I attempted to call him back immediately, my fingers numb and not even feeling the… Continue reading Thankful Thursday – The Lives and Health of My Boys
T.G.I.F. – On Saturday
I'm a little late but didn't want to let this post slip through the cracks. There's so much to be grateful for that it seems a shame not to express it openly. My top three for the past week: 3.) Being a Minnesota girl, now living in Colorado for 17 years, going to the Minnesota… Continue reading T.G.I.F. – On Saturday
A Glorious Sunday Drive
On my bike. As strange as this may sound, there's nothing more relaxing to me than a long bike ride on a beautiful Sunday morning. Of course by the time the 30-mile ride is done, there's nothing more relaxing than being back home, showered, with a bowl of popcorn and an A&W 10. 🙂 The… Continue reading A Glorious Sunday Drive
