Then the car drove by throwing the paper on the driveway. I don’t read it until noon, so I never noticed when it came.

This involves total garage and shed emptying and cleaning. I enjoy the way my husband and I go about this, working in perfect tandem with each other . . . → Read More: Angel of Patience Deference has become my word of the hour. Tonight….I’m quieting myself, stepping back, and not thinking. The mind needs a “day off” sometimes to let the lessons previously learned sink in and take hold.

Today’s message went like this: “Still, it is the heart’s capacity to rise one more time after falling down, no matter how bruised, that verifies such a drive within us, too.” Today my hospice patient passed away and once again I am called upon to shoulder loss.
