Right Now Monday * Hope & Happy Labor Day
Yes, another Monday and Right now on this Labor Day I am resting, physically and in the assurance of the HOPE in my heart. HOPE is always a great journaling prompt.

That there are new beginnings despite things not working the way we thought. Whether you are a person of faith or not, I am, HOPE is a necessity. I am encouraged by something a very wise man shared long ago, ‘Rejoice in HOPE, be patient in tribulation, be constant…

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…
