I don't know about you, but I am suffering from one of the worst bouts of cabin fever that I can remember...or at least in the six years that I moved to the wee cottage in the woods.

Happiness is internal joy in action.  So when I find myself encountering this dissatisfaction and restlessness that are my cabin fever symptoms, an examination of all my blessings is a good place to start.  After all, "cabin fever" is only an emotion, it is not reality and is only as real as I make it...or any of us make it.  So, do I want to spend this day in misery because of something imagined?  No, resoundingly no!  Today, after all, is the best day of my life.

Welcome to my blog...I hope you take a moment to stop and enjoy.  Maybe you will find a recipe that you just have to try.  Maybe you will find a story or quote that will amuse you and make you laugh.  Maybe you will find a story or a quote that will inspire you.  And throughout it all, please enjoy my pictures.  A picture is worth a thousand words, is it not?  

​So...this is my gift to you.  Please enjoy...

Caregivers’ Blessing
Thank you, caregivers.
Tuesday, February 7, 2023

Caregiving is one of the most rewarding and sacred activities a spiritual being can undertake. The presence of God rarely feels more powerful than when helping another find love, comfort, safety, and peace. Often, more is received than given in the exchange. It takes love to give love, however, and today I offer a prayer of refreshment and renewal.

I send heartfelt blessings to all caregivers. The love in my heart meets the heart of each caring individual as they do their selfless work. Sending prayers of love, gratitude, and support, I see each one divinely guided and inspired to provide dedicated care. May they feel this circle of love and compassion ever expanding as they share solace and support for those in their care.


And the king will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.”—Matthew 25:40
