So I am back in Australia, again. As soon as the jet lag finishes, I suppose John and I will be out having adventures. For now, I am going through the transition of coming back down to earth after two days in the sky, and missing loved ones back in...
We’ve celebrated Valentines Day before, but never physically together. So this is a ‘big one’. I’ve had my heart set on a photo of a wedding in the living room, so, we agreed that could be our Valentine. Even so, I wanted to do something a little special for the...
I’ve been sick, but it’s been a great time to prepare a slide show of our wedding. 🙂
Perhaps it goes without saying that John and I both feel like we’ve been divided in half, that apart we’re no longer whole. We knew separation would be hard, and that it’s so much BETTER….TOGETHER. Try our slideshow creator at Animoto.
Apparently, if you want me to feel loved, sincere Words of Affirmation is what makes me feel special and loved. Followed by Quality Time and Physical Touch. This is what I have learned from the book John and I have been reading together, The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman....
Each year, Christmas Eve’s have been an evening of warmth, love, and hilarity. This year was true to form. It started as usual with going to Anchor’s Christmas Eve service. It’s a wonderful hour when we get to reflect and remember the reason for our Christmas season. When arriving home,...
This Valentines Day, this very proud mama got to hear her son preach tonight. Being Valentines Day, Enric chose Authentic Love as his topic for teaching. Enric teaches how our culture gives a view of love that is different from the Bible’s view. He also gives a very personal and...
I don’t get to see, hug, and kiss, Silas as much as I like…sooo Imagine my happiness when the mail arrived with some love from Silas to remind me I was thought of!! Isn’t he so talented? A natural!
It’s mid January and I think the last cards and gifts have been completely delivered. It’s a treat in our household when the usual ‘big box’ comes to us from Australia. It’s also a good signal that this is the end of Christmas. Gladly, I think of it as a...
Customer: I’m trying to install LOVE but need some help. I’m not very technical, can you help? Service Rep: Sure. The first step is to open your HEART. Have you located your HEART? Customer: Yes I have, but there are several programs running right now. Is it okay to install...
On this romantic occasion of Valentine’s Day, I thought I would blog some quotes about Love…. Happy Valentines Everyone. “Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, it’s what you are expected to give — which is everything.” “Ama me fideliter! Fidem meam noto: De corde...
This is one from my sister…Thanks, Linda! Mom and Dad were watching TV when Mom said, “I’m tired, and it’s getting late. I think I’ll go to bed.” She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day’s lunches. Rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of...
I suppose a rather different blog for me, but its a subject I am studying…. Voicelessness: Narcissism by Richard Grossman, Ph.D. Many people spend a lifetime aggressively trying to protect an injured or vulnerable “self.” Traditionally, psychologists have termed such people “narcissists,” but this is a misnomer. To the outside...
The best time are always found when friends and family gather round. It’s a slice of heaven to be together, no? I have always thought so, but now after this Covid lockdown experience, even more so. Still uploading old photos from my other gallery to this blog. Enjoy.
