This mornings musings.....



Well it's day 3 of 80 and we are getting it done!  It ain't pretty getting up in the wee hours and having breakfast and then waiting to workout but the blessing is that it has made for us a perfect time to spend some time in prayer and personal development.

And I have been so inspired by our readings in the morning I am sharing them on my facebook page. I know how much I need to hear what I am reading and meditating on and I figure if I need it, there may be others out there who need it too.  So for whatever it is worth I am sharing it and trusting that it may be helpful to someone else too.

There is a whole day ahead and I am ready for the challenge and looking forward to it, what a blessing to get into a new routine.  It doen't quite feel like a total blessing yet, still getting used to it, but as the days go on and we keep at it, I know it will get easier, the routine will fall into place and in the end we will be healthier, mind, body, soul and spirit for it!

All it took was seeing one post - and I headed down memory lane

  These are pictures from an afternoon visit to the Eremo di San Bartolomeo in Legio (The Hermitage of San Bartolomeo in Legio) a place I dream of returning and brining my beloved to share the experience with me. The afternoon we visited in 1998 my heart was heavy with grief from the loss  of my mother, my best friend who went to glory less than a year before. Grief that was hard to work through because I was also dealing withe reality of a difficult and dangerous situation at home.  Being in Italy with my family was a brief respite from the situation I was dealing with at home.  I don't mean to be cryptic, that is a story in itself for another day. i traveled from Boston to Rome and my dad, my two sisters, each with one of their daughters and my sister-in-love and her and my brothers son all few in from Texas.  We were going to visit our family in Italy and to make a family pilgrimage in honor of my mother who recently passed to her and our family's patron Sain...

Christmas Eve

  Our Frist Christmas together in Texas - 1982 It's Christmas Eve morning and I am excited for whatever the day brings especially the coming of the birth of Jesus and the blessings and grace that await each new day.  This morning I’m also reflective with emotions and thoughts about my dad who died 23 years ago on Christmas Morning and my mom who died 27 years ago in November. In my heart I know that they are together in heaven celebrating with Jesus and all those I love who have gone home to glory and that brings peace and comfort to my heart. My heart is also filled with so much gratitude because my parents left us with so many wonderful traditions and family memories, family was everything to them. They always instilled in us a spirit of gratitude and unconditional love, and I am so grateful that never was there ever a time that I talked to my mom or dad that I did not tell them how much I loved them. I was by mom’s side when she drew her last breath and I saw the lov...
