Value

We may value something based on how much we'd get if we sold it, who it belonged to, how we received it, how we would feel if we lost it. In other words, what it means to us.

This was brought home recently when Facebook jogged my memory with a picture of my first ever handknit shawl.

Have you ever come through a dark place and out onto the other side, to where you have clarity and a plan - only to discover you didn't travel that path alone?

"Reset" at the Hospital

Sun, 11 Jul 2021 19:30:00 CDT

Recently, I spent a couple long days and nights in the ER after waking up early one morning with vertigo.

This was actually the second time in my life when I was transported down a tricky flight of stairs by a great team of EMT's.

Loss of a Loved One

Everyone experiences "loss" differently. Plus, there are different kinds of "losses." The first that comes to mind is the loss of a loved one.

Over the years, I've been a caregiver a few different times. Each role was different and presented unique challenges. Each one was emotionally if not physically draining.

A Not So Ordinary Christmas

Traditions are fun, but they aren’t sacred. This year is sure to be different, so celebrate it’s different-ness – and maybe jot down your thoughts in a Christmas journal so you will remember just how unique it was in 2020!
