Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
It was a foggy night last night in Nebraska. My daughter and I were out running errands and we had the eerie feel of being the only people left on the planet as we were driving through town. She was delighted to see that her school had completely vanished and I marveled at how the... Continue Reading →
It was a slow day at the restaurant yesterday. All was fine until five tables left the store at once, leaving just one couple for me to serve. I took their order and walked away and completely forgot to turn it in to the chef. Just forgot. It wasn’t until I felt like their food... Continue Reading →

I am one big step closer to wearing reading glasses. Yesterday my daughter talked me into trying some on in a cute boutique, and we found some that were palatable. Sigh….how did this happen? She then explained to me the biological reasons for my fine tuning fuzziness, in an effort to make me feel better... Continue Reading →
