one moment one life: Dork Alert!
http://www.onemomentonelife.org/2013/04/dork-alert.html
Friday, April 5, 2013. So, this is how life is. There's something to be said about lupus fog.and the effects of multiple mind "affecting" medications. One of those somethings is that you can't remember anything. Or at least, anything you want to remember. So, here's a little story about my life. Dearest Theresa (of course, she would call me by name, unlike all the other anonymous, canned responses to other less educated responders). You get the picture. Was I over emotional? And on, and on, and on my bra...

one moment one life: Caregivers
http://www.onemomentonelife.org/p/caregivers.html
September 18, 2011. A message from Dave…. From the handicap stall. Taking care of Theresa has been a blur the last few months. Heart surgery, heart surgery complications, and many follow up appointments have kept us on the run. Theresa is doing better now and that is a blessing. A lull in the Lupus storm. I had to laugh at myself last week. I realized I have three entries in my journal that start with “in the handicap stall at the moment…”. Spaced about a month apart each. Make up the couch farthest from...

one moment one life: The Summer Day
http://www.onemomentonelife.org/2014/08/the-summer-day.html
Tuesday, August 19, 2014. Who made the world? Who made the swan, and the black bear? Who made the grasshopper? This grasshopper, I mean-. The one who has flung herself out of the grass,. The one who is eating sugar out of my hand,. Who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down-. Who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes. Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face. Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away. I don't know exactly what a prayer is.

Friday, March 25, 2011. March 25, 2011. It's March 25th already! Spring.are you out there? It's been a long. And then I thought to myself. Man. It takes a lot of work. I have a picture just like this on facebook already! Oh, I sure did. Or do. But if I'm not making my ridiculousness completely evident. take a peek at the picture I posted on November 13, 2010 - the first snowfall of the year. November 13, 2010. And here's my caption:. First Snow, 11/13/10, outside the front door! I promise you, there was ...

one moment one life: Plum and Level
http://www.onemomentonelife.org/2014/11/plumb-and-level.html
Tuesday, November 4, 2014. Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592), French essayist. By David Ralph Johnson. Sometimes my husband drives me crazy. It's an odd kind of crazy though. It's a completely frustrated, want to scream kind of crazy that almost always makes me laugh in the end. Sometimes I laugh right away. Sometimes I hold back that laugh just to be sufficiently crazy to make a point. And sometimes the laugh comes much, much later. The latter is most. I assumed it was a silly idea and that was it. But mo...

one moment one life: Soft Whisperings
http://www.onemomentonelife.org/2015/02/soft-whisperings.html
Tuesday, February 17, 2015. I could walk past the hutch in peace. In fact, I could even dance in the dining room.no rumbling! I was so pleased with my accomplishment. My children, on the other hand, were not. They immediately noticed the difference and preceded to tell me that our house did not sound like "home" anymore! Needless to say, they got used to the change. This one I was not going to give in on. Last July I wrote a piece entitled When Chronic Illness Makes You World Weary. My case file had arri...

The original, Friends of Theresa. Nothing teaches us more about ourselves than unwanted change. If you want to know exactly how attached you are to an idea or belief about yourself or the world in which you live, take note of the pain that arises when confronted with loss. The loss of my health. With this change, I moved from website to blog, and www.onemomentonelife.blogspot.com. Was born. It’s been an interesting transition, and I still get requests to continue the website, but the movement h...Past Up...

one moment one life: Your Laughter
http://www.onemomentonelife.org/2011/09/your-laughter.html
Wednesday, September 28, 2011. Taken from the poem “Your Laughter” by Pablo Neruda. Laugh at the night,. At the day, at the moon,. Laugh at the twisted. Streets of the island,. Laugh at the clumsy. Boy who loves you,. But when I open. My eyes and close them,. When my steps go,. When my steps return,. Deny me bread, air,. Light, spring,. But never your laughter. For I would die. As Pablo Neruda says in the poem above, "deny me bread, air, light, spring, but never your laughter, for I would die.". When Chr...

one moment one life: I Am Not Broken
http://www.onemomentonelife.org/2012/12/i-am-not-broken.html
Monday, December 24, 2012. I Am Not Broken. Anna and me, moments before her surgery. It's been seven years since I have been in church for Christmas. Of questions.and a lot. Of concerns. What those were is another story, but my life up to that point had already held it's share of loss and sadness - my innocence being one. At one point in the service, during one of the large screen presentations, a phrase went across the screen and it read, "We are all broken.". We are all broken. We are all broken. This ...
