My house is in shambles! My mouth feels like a war is going on inside of it. I ate a sardines sandwich about ten days ago, and I bit down on what I thought was a bone, but now, I believe that I was wrong, because of the unbelievable pain I am in today. I... Continue Reading →
The flowers today are dedicated to my late son, Malcolm, who would have been 43 years old today. He loved bright colors, and was not afraid to wear them, especially shirts and sneakers. The yellow and orange flowers being kissed by the sun remind me of the beauty and constancy of life.
Douglas and I went to the mall yesterday to buy a cord to connect the new indoor antenna. It took us nearly longer to park as it took to drive to the mall. I was amazed at the numbers of cars trying to enter and leave the mall. I thought that nearly every house was... Continue Reading →
I wrote a post like Saturday for the Friday Fictioneers for December 7, and I did not pay attention to the word limitations. I have written for this challenge before, but for some reason, I just looked at the photo prompt, without checking the directions for the number of words allowed. It was my mistake,...

I have a habit of looking out of the bedroom window when I first get up, reassuring myself that everything is as expected in my part of the world. I have started to feel a sense of safety in the sameness of my surroundings. Then something special happened today that reminded me that unexpected moments,... Continue Reading →

I have a dream in which one of my best friends is free from a bad relationship. Recently, she was released from a rehabilitation center after nearly six weeks, and she could not wait to get home. Indeed, she was running a fever on the day she was to go home, and she begged the... Continue Reading →
Last night I went to Symphony Hall in Nashville for the first time since moving nearby. I love the symphony, but it is a chore to drive in Nashville, for it is growing like weeds, and the traffic is horrendous. Although we could lightly afford the $100 price tag for the seat I chose near... Continue Reading →

I want to thank everyone who honors us by following the blog. This comes as Douglas and I have made a decision regarding the two blogs, the other being The Humble Word Nerd. I will continue to write on the Help from Heaven blog, mainly because I... Continue Reading →
The picture of flowers posted today was taken at the Montarosa Olive Oil Farm in Moncarapacho, Spain. One of the few beautiful memories of my childhood was a feature like this in the garden of a wonderful and loving woman who made me feel valued as a child. Seeing it at the olive oil farm,...
