One Day at a Time
Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will; that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. Amen. Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)

I NEEDED WASHING
This is me, CeeMarie, age 17, playing in a warm rain, captured on film by Jay. The last time we ran in the rain was in Boston, 2000. My sister had booked four tickets on a "Blues Cruise" down the Charles River the first night we arrived. As we parked the car, we had no idea at which pier our cruise boat was docked, but it was pouring rain and we had little time to spare. I will never forget the shock of icy cold water that drenched us immediately upon stepping out of the car. We had to run to...

Beliefs and Friends
It's so good to have Maggie back! She sent out via e-mail a list of beliefs and how they pertain to our friends. As I read through the list, I thought of a little story for each belief statement. I will pull from old photographs that dovetail with my story or the belief. I believe- That we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change. Isn't this a concept you would like to teach our children, and drive it home, especially around middle school age? Clicks and groups at that...

Are You a Carrot?
A friend mailed this to me and I thought I would share this with my Blogit friends! Enjoy!! A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose. Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she...

The Eye of God
In my e-mail, I received a photograph of a helix nebula dubbed the Eye of God. You were supposed to look at it for a minute, make a wish and see if it didn't change your life. I always try these silly things, hoping they're not so silly! I prayed instead of just wishing while wondering how long it might take until I could tell if it was true. I wanted to share this photograph with all of you, but decided to check it out at Snopes.com first. I copied what I found out about it. I will pass it on...
