    In my mind today I am so happy. I want to share yesterday with you. Let’s look at a day in the ALS life. On Saturdays I stay in bed until early afternoon. I give my troops, my caregivers (Abbey and Andy) time to get up slowly. As soon as one of them wakes up,…

    John 7:30 His hour had not yet come.  In my mind, I have been thinking about the D-word. As soon as we are born we begin to die, like a light bulb. My husband’s wise father used to say this. It is true. Lifespans have always varied depending on access to resources, genetic dispositions, and…

    Ask, Seek, & Knock  In my mind,I have been pondering the world’s mindset of Advent, the Season of Christmas. A new year to follow the Church’s calendar brings me to try to deepen my faith, Christianity, when I feel the weight of the world’s view trying to eat away at the beautiful Christmas Story of…

    Bucket List In my mind today, I am thinking about “Bucket Lists.” When my body began betraying me in 2011, I felt that it was only going to progress. Why? I had an aunt who started falling at the age of 38, her legs would give out underneath her without warning. She became so weak…

    In my mind lately I have been searching for Hope. You know something to look forward to because I have been ghosting in my mind in the past. It has been a powerful journey fighting back from the other side of grief. Something floating in my chest nudged me. There once again, I find myself…

    In my mind today, I am thinking about Valentine’s Day. This last one was so hard because it was the first one without my sweetheart. The morning of Valentine’s Day I had ALS issues. I had slept in because I had my days and nights mixed up which probably caused the ALS issues. I didn’t…

    In my mind today, I have been feeding my brain with literature. I am studying again! Don’t moan back row, students. Be joyful that I am looking for God. It has been a while since I have had the strength to read and focus. What threw me out of my stagnating reverie was YouTube. Yes,…

    The Grief that Stole Christmas  In my mind today of course I am thinking about Christmas. Looking at Christmases past on social media, remembering how much I put into Christmas before ALS. Each year I was so jolly and even enjoyed the elves’ shenanigans! I have always been a NUT for Christmas to the point…
