Fears

What’s your greatest fear?
We had an (ahem) interesting day yesterday.  LightGirl had a very negative reaction to some meds she’d begun taking.  I won’t go into the details of it here, but we ended up in the ER just to make sure she was okay.  As the meds metabolized she was alright, but we had [...]

One Thousand

The prompt for today -
Japanese lore suggests that if you fold 1,000 paper cranes, your wish will come true. What would your wish be, and what would you be willing to do 1,000 times to get it?
I remember reading about this legend when I was a young girl.  I read a book about the bombing [...]

The Blind Beggar Needs Prayer

I received urgent word via Brother Maynard this evening that Rick Meigs (aka Blind Beggar) has been critically injured in a hit and run motorcycle accident today:
I wanted to let everyone know that Rick Meigs was at a Motorcycle rally at Hell’s Canyon and was clipped by a vehicle which crossed the line and clipped [...]

Happy May Day … this is my birth month and so I am always happy when May Day rolls around. It gives me an extra bounce. I love May. My lily-of-the-valley is blooming which seems appropriate. The lilac my dad gave me six years ago finally bloomed this year. It [...]

Surprised By Grief

About a month ago, BlisteringSheep and BlazingEwe told us about a radio broadcast they’d listened to and I wanted to listen to it. It had been on NPR, so I knew how to find it. I did, and went through the necessary steps to download the podcast. Then I discovered that I [...]

Good Friday

Good Friday, 1613.
Riding Westward
John Donne (1572-1631)
1Let mans Soule be a Spheare, and then, in this,
2 The intelligence that moves, devotion is,
3 And as the other Spheares, by being growne

Just What It Takes

“Daddy,” LightGirl twinkled and spun, “do you have ….
… any money?”
The adults nearby sputtered in laughter. One looked at me and said “Daddy?!” I rolled my eyes … she knows how to twist her father around. But he can handle her. It reminded me of an experiment my mother and I [...]

So Says He

UPDATE – Saturday early afternoon … I had a voicemail from LightMom at around noon. It was crackly and hard to hear in the noise of the ice rink. But I think GrandPea is to be discharged today. He will go back for stress tests and further follow ups. But for [...]
