Why is it so hard to receive a compliment?

Why is it so hard to receive a compliment?

Recently I complimented a young technician on her beautiful hair. She said, “It is hair extensions.” I looked for a while and couldn’t see any evidence of added hair, so I said, “I can’t see that. It all looks like your hair.”

She stopped what she was doing, raised her beautiful black hair, and showed m...

A Normal Thanksgiving … Finally

A Normal Thanksgiving … Finally

It's beginning to look like a more typical holiday season this year. Like everyone else, we did not get to spend Thanksgiving with our children and grandchildren last year.

Missing an almost entire year of holidays with our family has made me rethink how I want to cherish every moment I have with them in the future.

Men Get Breast Cancer Too

Men Get Breast Cancer Too

When we think of breast cancer, we think of women, but men get breast cancer too. The fact is about 1 out of every 100 breast cancers diagnosed in the United States are found in men.

It is the same kind of cancer found in women. The problem is that most of the educational information about detecting, treating, and dealing with bre...

Sharing the Season

One year, while we were living in south Texas, I received a box in the mail from my son. The package was about 12X12X12 inches but felt very light. I couldn't imagine what was in it.

The post office had marked it fragile, so I was careful as I removed the tape and slid the lid off. I heard a rustling sound when I moved the box. The gift w...

Slowing Down and Paying Attention

Slowing Down and Paying Attention

“Doodlebug, doodlebug, come out tonight, doodlebug, doodlebug, your house is on fire.” The little chant still echoes in my head when I see a familiar cone-shaped track spiraling downward into the soft, warm sand.

My brother and I sang this tune repeatedly while we lured these short, hairy insects from their homes in the warm G...

Blinders

Blinders

I love riding in a horse-drawn carriage but I always feel bad for the horses because they have to wear blinders.  I know they are necessary because they help the horse focus and stay on course.

Farmers used blinders, made of leather flaps, on-farm horses, and mules to pull plows or wagons in the small farm community where I grew up. By li...

Capturing the Moments

Capturing the Moments

We were getting ready to leave our daughter’s house after the holidays. I walked into the room as my daughter and husband were talking to each other. She was seated at the piano, and he was standing tall and lovingly beside her.  

The window light from behind them was soft and very complimentary. It was such an endearing scene, and ...
