Kitchen Window

I cannot express how my kitchen window is an escape to what lies outside. Although the window is old and tattered and not even framed, I see through it and find the joy of watching the squirrels scurrying, the bluejays playing and the bees pollinating all the flowers. It makes washing dishes bareable and cooking doable. I'm appreciative to the person who built that 100+ old window that helps me see out of it to be happy.

Why can't I shake things off?

I've been really dealing with learning to become stress-free. Which actually is my constant battle every day. However, I will say that most of it has been due to being a mother of four sons. As mothers, you can't just shake things off, even after they are grown up. Sure if you don't think about them, maybe this method would work. At times I find having homeschooled my children a problem. I hate to admit this. I loved on them so much but now it's just hard not to think of them. Maybe if my hard-working husband had been home part of the time to lend a hand I may not feel this way.

My two oldest were in boy scouts too. Now that I look back, was I crazy? I can't get over how many years I'd feel so exhausted from teaching other children, then my own, keeping the house (I d

If I had a drawing pad, I could have sketched this scene from the dream I had this week. I suppose it was a result of a Show and Tell item a sweet seven-year-old girl endearingly brought to the classroom. She wanted to share with everyone the special prayer shawl that her papa brought her from Isreal. With her dainty little fingers, she pulled it out of the pillowcase embroidered fabric. She laid it on herself with the Hebrew words that were engraved on the hem. Her gracefulness touched me as I watched her display it. The dream brought a vivid memory of when my neighbor down the street had invited me to Passover at the Hilton hotel. Mind you she wasn't Jewish. But she had friends who belong to the Messianic Jews who had offered her tickets and she chose me to join her that night. I didn
