Shhh … Silent Sunday. 1/18/26
Contemplative Practices for Meeting a World in Crisis with Courage, Integrity & Love
Five Friday Happy Bringers 1/17/26
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Outdoor winter lunch at the farmhouse.
And it’s just warm enough to eat outside. It = weather as well as soup.
2. Reading/skimming through this beautifully delightful book about flowers.
And then going outside the farmhouse to practice …
Okay, maybe I won’t win any floral awards. But it was fun.
3. Being able to stay warm in the cold of winter. What a blessing!
4. This ceiling light at a local indoor—outdoor restaurant.
5. The neat coincidence of Grandson Gabriel re-entering his recent high school basketball game just as an advertisement for his parents’ medical company flashed on the screen behind him.
May you have some neat coincidences this weekend!

Farmhouse Fun
As I mentioned before, Robert and I are staying at an old farmhouse in Effingham County, Georgia while our Savannah apartment is being renovated.
Here are a few photos to give you a taste of the personality of the farmhouse.
Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 1/12/26
I’ve been doing a bit of both this Monday.
I’m marveling as I remember the nostalgic fun and yumminess of our recent traditional New Year’s Day menu: Collard Greens and Black Eyed Peas.
Do you include these or similar items on your first-day-of-the-brand-new-year menu? Or is it just another quirky thing we do here in the Deep South?
Granny always encouraged/commanded me: “Nealie” (her nickname for me), “now eat your greens and peas. The greens will bring you lots of money in the form of bills, and the peas will bring you lots of change.”
Thanks, Granny, but I’m moaning a bit today as well … waiting, waiting for the cash jackpot.
Five Friday Happy Bringers 1/9/26
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. These gorgeous Paperwhite Narcissus jewels blooming in the yard of the old farmhouse (in January!) where Robert and I are staying while our kitchen and living room get a renovation.
2. Daughter Amy and her Hubby Scott being named one of Savannah’s “Power Couples” in the current issue of Savannah Magazine.
3. Simplicity.
The older I get, the simpler I desire my life to be.
4. Good deals.
5. Anything Cardinal.
May you catch some joy this weekend.
