Whispered Promises: April 2014
http://coffeereflection.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 23, 2014. A Story about Excellence. There is a Story with this, such as only I would be able to tell, because it fits me so well. A while back I received an invite to a luncheon at our main office in Dover, 2 hours away on a work day. I work well over 40 hours a week and time away would only make it harder to get all the work in and it frankly didn't interest me. I am not a crowd person and prefer my little hometown office where I and Richard - the editor and my boss - work. The picture ...

Whispered Promises: July 2015
http://coffeereflection.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 5, 2015. Fourth of July Pride Retrned. This 4th of July I reflect on the pride we once had as a Nation, Where our independence was not taken for granted and it was celebrated. We respected this Nation and the flag it represented. We stood with fathers, grandfathers and mothers who fought and seen the pain it took to keep our land free. Today I pray for a broken nation, where self serving individuals express their dislike and distaste with desecration and vulgarity. I am sad. La vida es bella.

Whispered Promises: Getting Back on the Path
http://coffeereflection.blogspot.com/2015/05/i-have-felt-overwhelmed-last-two-weeks.html
Tuesday, May 19, 2015. Getting Back on the Path. I have felt overwhelmed the last two weeks, and this weekend I stepped away from everything - prayed and asked God to help me find a way to be able to deal with things in a better manner. I explained to Matthew how I felt, so Saturday I spent the day cleaning and figuring out a schedule that will allow everything to fit into place and not let anything get too far behind. With that in mind - This morning I woke and thanked God once again for that weekend.

Whispered Promises: My Daddy is Leaving
http://coffeereflection.blogspot.com/2015/05/my-daddy-is-leaving.html
Saturday, May 16, 2015. My Daddy is Leaving. I need to start writing things down - fast. Before the pain comes and I won't be able to do it. Daddy is leaving this earth. He has been for a long time now. We are a bit jaded, my family, because daddy had his first heart attack when I was just old enough to be alarmed. My mom and dad had to run to the hospital in the middle of the night, and we were shuffled to Aunt Frances house. I was in the third grade. And can recall so many titles to this day. Dad has b...

Whispered Promises: June 2014
http://coffeereflection.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 23, 2014. Reflections from the Middle. As of June third I am 49. Spoiled for me is just having my husband dote on me a little, card, surprise gift (which doesn't need to be expensive) and just a little extra special sprinkled on my day. He was sorry and I don't think he will let me feel that again. Some people may think I am selfish about this so the inner analyzing took place. I am no where near selfish. I don't spend much money on hair, nails or clothes. Thats not asking too much. And I wa...

Whispered Promises: February 2014
http://coffeereflection.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 28, 2014. Its about the Journey. Let me tell you where I am at in life. I am settled with my husband in a sweet little home that needs some renovation, which I will do. The last of the girls have moved out, and have flown. No one is married yet, no one is close to that. But all are between 19 to 26 years of age. From Teacher, waitresses to Tattoo artist. I have traveled this way, this unpredictable life, for a long time now. 20 years ago I would have told you I couldn't handle it....

Whispered Promises: Torn in half
http://coffeereflection.blogspot.com/2015/08/torn-in-half.html
Monday, August 17, 2015. Dad is on Hospice now. My daughter is 2 weeks away from her due date. I have two extremes in my life right now. I have decided not to let either run into the other. I will be sad for my dad when the time comes and be elated for my grandchild when he arrives. We believe in a Kingdom that will bring us all together one day and that hope resides deep within me to carry me through the hard times. I will rest on that for now. But I have hope. August 17, 2015 at 8:55 PM. I have had to ...

Monday, May 12, 2014. Run Little Dog Run. We have two dogs, both completely different. Lacey Loo our Labrador is mouthy but extremely intelligent. She can express easily and readily what she wants and needs. She is just a voice away from actually telling me what she wants, and WHEN she wants it. Little dog, Casserole. Well.Not so much. She functions well, and makes up for her lack of intelligence in sweetness. A sweetness not reserved for anyone in particular. Lacey Loo is the key. Finally Contact was ma...

Whispered Promises: January 2015
http://coffeereflection.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 23, 2015. I pushed and Conquered! A couple of years ago when I had started losing weight and concentrating more on my health - I took up walking. My ever loving friend Gael joined me and then went on to greater things, adding biking and swimming.I digress.but back when she was still walking, I had drove over for the day to enjoy each others company and to walk together. Yep - That's my Gael. As we start Gael says to me, "Are you up to a challenge? Gael keeps chatting away and acts as thou...

Saturday, May 30, 2015. My Heart is Full. Ten Years with this guy. He is not nearly perfect and I would tweak a few things if I could.but then I am sure his words are the same about me. But what we both know - is that, "we got this". And he quickly replied, "I know! We have been together so long we complete each other's sentences." which of course killed me, I laughed so hard I was crying. I wouldn't want to 'try' with anyone else. You have to work at it or it fails. Love carries you a long ways but ...
