Simple Times

Cupcakes!

Taking the time to teach my daughters, Jackie and Megan to bake from "scratch" is what simple times are made of. One must take the time to engage the old with the new, and one creates a whole new experience.


Look around...what do you see?

Listen...what do you hear?

Take the time to respond and the things you DO, become memories for the future YOU!

Look, Listen, Do and ENJOY the simple times!

Megan Knowing that Megan has been taught well, practiced much, and is well prepared for her drivers license test on Friday (the 13th!) I allowed her to be the driver and me the passenger yesterday as we traveled through town doing errands. She did well and and she would say I did well.  The life "passage" of having your youngest child take to the road as a licensed driver is not to be taken lightly. It is a privilege to know that you have seen their life begin and now be part of launching them into another stage of life. I trust Megan will be responsible, conscientious and careful. My mothers prayer is that all other drivers will do the same. Taking the time to mark this moment is what putting the simple wonders of our days into the limelight is all about. Safe travels to all, Patti

By being interested enough in the emotions and feelings of another to respond appropriately deep instead of predictably shallow. I will always be grateful for friends that know how to be friends. No matter how long the friendship, the give and take of conversation is a special hallmark of a special friendship. Hello friend!                                                         ...

Great Moments of Kindness - Day 4

Image
Kindness Moments from History       1950 Having committed herself to a vocation as a nun, Mother Teresa has divined a "call within a call" to devote herself to the world's most destitute. Refusing to be daunted by the enormity of world poverty, she chips away at her goal, insisting, "I never look at the masses as my responsibility, I look at the individual. I can only love one person at a time." She gets Vatican approval for the Missionaries of Charity, formed with just 11 other women, which by the 1990's will blossom into over a million workers carrying out her mission in orphanages, hospices, and charity centers worldwide.   A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, must empty ourselves. The fruit of silence is prayer, the fruit of prayer is faith, the fruit of faith is love, the fruit of love is service, the fruit of service is peace.
