Thoughts Post-surgery
My Friday and Sunday posts were pre-scheduled. Today, I’m home post-surgery. Thanks to God, everything went smoothly.

Now that I’m home and thinking back on everything, […]

Healing Hurts
Invisible affliction occurs And stirs wounds, exposes scar tissue; Those who are living outside my skin Cannot help or hope to harbor Empathy or like circumstances. No, you strike it from your point of view Granting no value to where I’ve been So you simply say, “Move on.” We must both gather to heal at […]

Short Hiatus
Lovely Friends, I apologize for being remiss in visiting your blogs these last two weeks. I have been packing for a long-awaited move into affordable senior housing. The list has been long, but my name finally came up, and the Lord has graciously moved the process along quickly. I am moving this weekend! Unfortunately, I […]
