My heart has been saddened to hear about another precious life, surrendering to hopelessness. As I live my days on this earth, I become more aware of the despair that lingers around, like a dark cloud on a stormy day. It is somber and dreary, and pulls you into a place within that is oppressive…
It was a hard day. I needed to get out of the house. I love going to consignment shops and it always does my heart good to walk around and look for that diamond in the dust. This particular day I found this framed piece. It is not a fancy piece of art but the…
I hate detours. There has been an intense amount of road work being done around our area. The other day I got in my car and began driving to my destination. I knew where I was going. I chose the way I wanted to go to get there and I began driving. After a while,…
