I arise each day through the strength of heaven

Theresa of Avila wrote the title words.

I write this note almost daily to share or to record some of the things I'm thinking along my day. Often while I drive I see something or hear something on the radio that I think more about and want to write. If you are reading this drop me a comment at the end. I'd just like to know. you can comment below on the comment line. thanks

When I think of my sister Analea who is quite ill I think of all the fun times I've had with her and as usual wish for more. When she was pregnant with her son Gabriel, she in a new mother mode told me that having a baby wasn't going to change her... but then came wonderful Gabe and everything changed. He is a wonderful young man. I was present when he was born because Analea invited me to be. It is a strong bond between us all.

When I think of the things that we wished we had done over our lives I remember the essay that Mary Chapin Carpenter shared on a radio story,
"This I believe"

It is worth your time to listen and to reflect with her. It's call A learning curve of gratitude.

God abide with you
I arise each day through the strength of heaven.

I'll be on the road the next few days and don't expect to have a computer. keep in touch.
