Penny For Your Thoughts: July 2008
http://pennygirl007.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Penny For Your Thoughts. Monday, July 28, 2008. I held her. I sung to her. Then I left. Over the next few weeks, I got to know this baby and her mom very well. The baby, I learned, had been struggling this way for months. Struggling just to breathe. The mom, after so much agony of watching her child had decided to put her on DNR. 8220;How can you make a decision like that? 8221; I heard a nurse say. How does any decision in that situation feel right, I wonder? I feel that I, too, wait in the chaos; I too...

Penny For Your Thoughts: Caterpillars on the Floor
http://pennygirl007.blogspot.com/2008/07/caterpillars-on-floor.html
Penny For Your Thoughts. Tuesday, July 8, 2008. Caterpillars on the Floor. 8221; I asked. Her braids swished against her face. “Caterpillars turn into butterflies,” I was proud to share. Oh, caterpillars. The symbol of hope. The symbol of resurrection. No matter how dark it may get in the cocoon, something beautiful is coming. That’s what I was taught. I’m pretty sure that’s not any of our desired destinations. I am a caterpillar on the floor. The presence of God comes in so many different forms; from a ...

Penny For Your Thoughts: About This Time
http://pennygirl007.blogspot.com/2009/02/about-this-time.html
Penny For Your Thoughts. Monday, February 2, 2009. I hate this time of year. I hate it when people tell me things I already know. Like about the cycles of life. About the yin and the yang. About both good and bad, times for everything. About higher suicide rates in Alaska. I know these things. It's just that.it all hits me a little bit stronger about this time, that's all.

Penny For Your Thoughts: Home
http://pennygirl007.blogspot.com/2008/11/home.html
Penny For Your Thoughts. Friday, November 7, 2008. I’ve been counting down the days until I can go home again. Right now: 18. I miss home. Always. And yet, when I go home…to Buies Creek…I find myself still missing it. Because the truth is, it is no longer there. Quite honestly, at this point in my life, I feel homeless. I may even dare, once again, to use the word “Home.”. Leave a light on, God. I am trying. When "reality" starts dissolving all around him. November 8, 2008 at 6:10 AM.

Penny For Your Thoughts: Paralysis
http://pennygirl007.blogspot.com/2009/02/paralysis.html
Penny For Your Thoughts. Friday, February 6, 2009. It's been ten years since Dad was diagnosed with PLS. His body is slowly becoming paralyzed, I was told. But the truth is- without in any way diminishing the truth of that horrible disease- that he was not the only one facing paralysis. I think my entire family experienced it. My own planet was an incredibly lonely one. No man is an island? I was fine just where I was. Maybe I am the only one who cares. But I'm not paralyzed that. MuchI do still care.

Penny For Your Thoughts: February 2009
http://pennygirl007.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Penny For Your Thoughts. Friday, February 27, 2009. It Was Just My Imagination. Yesterday I was playing legos with a couple of five-year-olds. One of them started singing the chorus of an oldies song."it was just my imaginaaaaaation." Kids are cute. I looked up and smiled and then continued building my one dimensional, one story house with a very shabby roof (the kids took all the good legos). Sitting here now, surrounded by rain and calm, it occurs to me that I miss that. Imagination. Not in the sense t...
