Last week was a week of prayer at our church. For us this means that several stations are set up for participation in prayer of various forms. Sometimes I feel as if this is designed especially for me. It isn’t of course but it is a week that I appreciate very much. On [...]

Shopping
We have a grad dress. Beautiful and orange. It was the best colour among all the many many colours we looked at. And we looked a many. We went down to Saskatoon with the intention of buying the dress we did in fact end up buying. It was the first she tried on but not [...]

OH JOY!
This morning I was thinking over my day, both the day yesterday and the day to come, today. Yesterday I had one of my favourite patients come in for his “annual” check-up. He is a nursing student. I don’t designate him as one of my favourite patients because he has perfect teeth or [...]

Contacts from website
I have been plagued with spam lately. It comes in as contacts from this page. I have been unable to rid myself of this problem so far. Every time that I check my e-mail I have to delete a bunch of useless and very undesirable stuff. The danger is that I inadvertently delete a real [...]

My eyes have it – Ptosis
I officially have droopy eyes. Yesterday I had an appointment with one of our local eye surgeons. I like the office. Very efficient and nicely laid out and decorated. The assistant was also very good. She did all the preliminary work including a test that I had never had before to check my peripheral vision – [...]

That's coffee!
A week ago while I was in the middle of my photography course I got a call on my cell phone – Sara. “Did you have an appointment to get your hair done,” she asked. My hairdresser had called my home when I didn’t show up. And, yes, I completely forgot the appointment. Monday, I [...]

Reading the Divine Hours
One of my regular practices is praying the prayers of The Divine Hours by Phyllis Tickle especially the morning office and the Compline. I like the regularity of these prayers. This morning part of the request for presence read, “Our God will come and will not keep silence.” It is good to be in the presence [...]
