Right Now Monday: Be Kind to Unkind People, They Need It The Most
Wow . . . I read this statement earlier in the week and didn’t know it would ring so true. It was posted (and then reposted) by a radio station. It especially made sense when I had an experience (and opportunity) to be kind to an unkind person. If you don’t mind reading for a moment . . . one of you may need to hear what came to mind as I experienced a very angry and unkind individual. But this presented an opportunity. I was headed to meet my daughter and mom. I entered a very busy shopping center and found an individual that was getting ready to leave. I…

Throwback Thursday – Amazing Grace
It’s so popular right now to see folks post older photos of themselves or loved ones. Several folks call it, “Throwback Thursday’. Well, I’d like to share Throwback Thursdays with you as well but in a different context. I have kept an on-line journal for many years now. Recently, (July 2014) Go Daddy changed their blog hosting company from Blogcast to WordPress. That’s fine and dandy however we never got ‘the memo’ and had no preparation. One day, my blog was gone. Thank goodness a few weeks back I was prompted to print out several posts I wanted to keep. As I shared my journey through breast cancer last year…

I love the connections and friendships I’ve made on my blog and surely don’t want to lose touch with these warm and wonderful people. Now . . . Recently a sweet family friend treated me to my first real hair cut after chemo. My hair is getting longer, not as curly, thick (not as thick as before), and yes, a bit grayer. I guess I could say I earned those gray hairs. My friend was sweet to treat me to a haircut and introduce me to a new…
