In the Morning Light

Good Day, God! We have been home for 7 days now . . . and I am happy.  I’m always happy to be home.  But, this time it is home after our third major trip — in a row!  It’s not

The importance of Caring for One’s Self

Good Day, God! Plumerias are beautiful trees filled with clusters of flowers. So it was a bit odd that I was drawn to crop out the many and focus on just one. But, ONE has value. One flower. One person.

A Peaceful Day

Today was a day entirely at home. I had no idea that having nothing on the calendar would be so refreshing.

Floating: Slowly and Serenely

This time — my third time to retire — it doesn’t feel like a transition so much as a familiar and cherished destination. I am beginning to appreciate rest.
