Day 22 No sugar or dairy As I type while sipping sage tea, the doorbell rings, but not feeling the need to get up and check for a visitor. Mostly, because it’s too late for visitors and secondly, since moving into our home, the doorbell has randomly rung without anyone there. I do feel less … Continue reading Day Twenty-Two (Look UP)

Day Twenty (Colton Riley)
Day 20 No sugar or dairy The last two days I haven’t given much thought to missing out on sugar or dairy. The grandson has been sick! He’s approaching 21 months of age and this is his first “real” sickness. Yesterday’s doctor’s visit was pretty awful. I’m sure he will remember I’m the one who … Continue reading Day Twenty (Colton Riley)
Day Nineteen (Pressing On)
Day 19 No sugar or dairy I press on . . . Those three words are packed with suggestive implication: To not give up or give in, To push through, To keep on keeping on.

Day Fifteen (Thirsty For More)
Day 15 No sugar or dairy We bought a house, literally, in the country. I never wanted to purposefully move out to the country, but we did because of a grandson! Amazing how grandchildren can change you (wink). Besides the grandson, the best thing about country living is the beautiful sky on display. But another … Continue reading Day Fifteen (Thirsty For More)

Day Thirteen (Honoring my mother: JoAnne)
Day 13 No sugar or dairy On Day 11, I shared A Reflection of “What motivates me to not give up?” conveying how each feature inspires me.
