Keep Left. I had one of those days. Seem to have a lot lately. Rushed. List upon list of things to do. It was later in the day when the incident happened. Just when the traffic was starting to get congested from everyone leaving work and going home. I had just dropped off one of my granddaughter’s birthday presents.  Then I was heading off to a different daughter’s house for dinner. Without thinking, just basically driving robotically, I had nearly reached the stop sign at the intersection. “Oh no!” I said out loud. Not this intersection. It is one of the deadliest intersections you can try and cross, especially at…

Have you ever felt very empty? The brain is not working, the body is too tired. It’s just all BLANK in the mind. I don’t often get that way but sometimes when I have over-worked on a shift, pushed myself with night after night lack of sleep, the brain is mush. Nothing is going in and nothing is coming out. That’s when I often sit in prayer and just sit. God must be enjoying my silence, for some days I open my mouth and go on and on with my issues and problems and prayers. He must think, ‘oh no Rosemary going on and on again.’ Actually, that’s how we…

After a long few days of lifting and unpacking boxes my muscles were feeling decidedly sore. I have a couple of injuries involving damaged muscles and tendons that I did a few years ago, where if I do not care for them, they can develop into more damage and pain. So, when part of the team I was on were going off to relax over the weekend, by going to the movies, I took myself off to have a deep tissue massage. I was lying down on the cushioned table, getting pummelled, prodded, and poked while the soft music played over the speakers in the roof. I could feel the…

What do they say about Murphy’s Law? “If something can go wrong, it will go wrong.” I’ve had that type of few days. That type of week. The order that I needed for the next few weeks doing Lenten Missions was now not available. The stock levels on the computer were wrong and they had NO STOCK. I was scrambling to fix this problem. The flight I was flying on was cancelled and had to organize another one to make the destination in time. One member of our small team could not come now due to health reasons. A piece of equipment has gone “missing.” No one knows where it…

The other day I was talking to a friend of mine. I could tell she was very worried about stuff happening in her life. Actually, it was happening in her adult children’s lives and was causing her much heartache. How many of us, as women, as Mother’s, have heartache from and for our children.? It could be our children are ostracised from us. There is no longer a relationship there. It could be our children, young and older, are suffering, struggling in their own lives, and this affects our hearts, our minds, our peace. We often take on other people’s problems and this causes us to worry so. The sorrows…
