It is suddenly clear to me. I have caribou blood in me even though my 23 and Me profile did not indicate it. You see---I click when I walk. Just the left knee--not the right but there is a definite clicking sound when I walk. I noticed it a couple years ago and I suspect it is just further notice of my continual and ever present aging. If I walk straight legged it does not click but according to my husband it is not very attractive to see me walking in that … [Read more...]

An Attitude of Gratitude
By · 22 Comments
To be ungrateful is sinful. It is a failure to repay a moral debt. There are degrees of ungratefulness. The first degree is to neglect to return a favor. The second degree is to take no notice of the favor. The lowest degree in ingratitude is to fail even to admit to one's self that a favor has been given. We are all familiar with ungrateful people--people who accept favors as if they were theirs by right, people who never thank anyone for favors, and people who never return a favor. … [Read more...]

Rogue Comments

One of the bonuses of having a blog is getting to read comments and as you know I am all about the comments!!! I have a really great spam filter that catches most of the non-legitimate comments and I am VERY grateful to have that as the spam folder fills up fairly fast. If I had to wade through all those and subject the rest of my readers to those I would probably cry. But every now and then when I go to check and make sure that some of your valuable comments did not slip into the spam … [Read more...]

But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. 1 Corinthians 10: 13 Today's New International Version You know, if you have followed me or known me very long, that I am a believer.

I’m A People Person!

Recently a blogger friend, Karen, posted a Personality Test result on her blog over on one of her blogs. I first found Karen at Grab a Book From Our Stack where she and her husband read and review quite a number of books. They have a couple of blogs and the fact is that I got the Comments for a Cause idea from them a couple years ago! I don't visit there as often as I used to but I still enjoy reading what they post every now and then! On this particular day when I surfed over there … [Read more...]

My friend, Hilary, from Feeling Beachie fame has written a book and I was privileged to read an advance edition of it months ago. It is a great memoir based on the commitment issues that her now husband, Marc, had and how they worked through it. It is a really great book and I am privileged to have read it before it was actually published. Hilary is working on publishing options and has the book in the hands of two agents right now so things are looking very hopeful that this book will … [Read more...]
