Cancer. I’m thinking about it today. The word alone spews fear. For the past. For the present. For the future. For the unknown. We hear that another friend or loved one has become a battleground. And we wonder if we’re the next target. We eat the right stuff and refuse the wrong stuff. We exercise […]
Squirrel Thoughts – Stress
I’m still high. Hazy headed. Because of Bath & Body Works. Yeah. Their fault. I ran drove (that’s the first time I ever used the strikethough–just had to try it) to the mall after meeting with my co-teacher this morning. She’s teaching from Colossians, and I’m teaching from Hosea this fall. Oops. You don’t care […]

Seven Sweet Ones
Post the links to seven posts in seven categories. That’s the challenge ProBlogger Darren Rowse issued. Katie (K.M.) Weiland and Linda Yezak took him up on it this week. It seems like a good time for me to join in the fun as I comb through all the posts imported from Blogger. Link #1: My […]

Squirrel Thoughts – Sweating
SQUIRREL!! On my pillow this morning. First thing. And it’s all because of these. Who puts shoe forms in flip-flops anyway? These are Reeboks. What my husband wears around the house. Flip flop. Flip flop. Flip flop. So irritating! And I think he could mass produce them and sell them in the clock department. As […]

Comfort in Discomfort
I am a nurse. Trained to dispense comfort. Sooth fears. Lessen pain. Ease anxiety. Provide hope. Give strength. But that’s not always comfortable. For patient or nurse. For the nurse it might mean to insist on discomfort. For the patient it might mean: to breathe deep and cough when it feels like an incision will […]
