Getting ready
So, Leo is in the lead up time to his surgery next Friday. This morning he went to get his lab work done so I was told last night not to bother bringing him a cup of coffee in the morning.
I remembered that I did not need to be sure he was up early but [...]

No dead ends
From Isaiah 43: 1b to 3a The Message – part of my reading for the morning. Next to the Psalms, Isaiah ranks highest for me in speaking to needs deep within me – for comfort, for my need to feel cared for by a God who never comes to dead ends like I do.

Winter Storm
We are in the midst of another winter storm. This one is bringing plenty of snow and very cold, cold freezing temperatures. With the wind chill it will be about – 54 C tonight.

Cynical
Don’t you just love it when a reader called”Payday Advance” comments on how nice the last blog entry was. So personal!
Am I cynical? Who sends those things?

So, my heart was acting up.
An incident like this gives one a new perspective, although I know that this was not one of those life threatening events. Just the same, it made me think. It was after all my heart, not some part that I could dispose of easily.
And, although my mom did not die of heart [...]

Beep ____ beep, beep beep
That was an interesting way to start a morning. Not highly recommended but definitely different than my typical Sunday morning.
I woke up this morning around 4 feeling a bit weird. My heart was fluttering around without its usual regular rhythm. I lay there for a bit expecting things to settle [...]
