Some of you may wonder why my writing is all over the place these days. Sigh. It is probably a sign of fidgeting inwardly.

Every day I see that I am not as organized as I used to be. My solution is to donate books and doodads every time an organization calls me. It is one that is dedicated to people needing literally everything.

I am addicted to sticky pads and I still forget stuff. Comes with the territory of aging. I saw the chiropractor yesterday as my shoulder is being a bit troublesome. I hadn’t seen him since the beginning of the pandemic.

Life has never been easy for any of us; it has built-in roller coaster rides. I have stopped going to the amusement park, so my rides are inward ones.

How long can I live here? Should I put the house on the market? Is it okay to let everything go on just as it is?

I turn to the words of Jesus and find comfort. “Let not your heart be troubled; neither let it be afraid.” But life is troubling and we human beings are afraid.

I breathe into his words and feel a letting go within.

I am only human but always divine. Let that one sink in.

The divinity is living through us all if we but let it.

Do you have concerns about your life? If you don’t, you will at some point.

My little girl was pure in heart, yet she left us after turning seven.

My son and I are forever changed by the two cancers in our family.

Let is be. Let it be because we humans are learning how to let go and let God.

My hands are typing what my heart knows is true. Nothing can be changed but it can be accepted.

Grace is tending God’s sheep and grace is our insurance policy when everything and everyone has let us down.

Grace wins over fear every single time.
