I am one of those who, when told that I have fibromyalgia, told the doctor, “I don’t want that.” Plainly and simply. I was well … Continue reading Fibromyalgia; That Mean Monster

This Mom’s Mixed Emotions; Walking This Faith Walk
I just saw my daughter off on her first “grown-up” mission trip, as she calls it. She’s been on a mission trip with our family when we went with a team from our church years ago.

OK, we’re in the middle of February, and I haven’t done as well on my goals as I thought I would.

(Spring) Winter Cleaning
Something “strange” happens to me at this time of the year. I don’t know if it’s because I have organized and put away the Christmas decorations, and redecorated the front door and the mantle at least.
