You Are Inspiration

Every person has a chance to inspire those around them. Each person that come and go from our lives whether a one second stranger or a life time family member is going to see something from us. What they take from us is our choice. To make this world a better place let us focus our minds to only have a positive and loving influence. That influence will have a butterfly affect unlike any other because it comes...

Coffee And Hot Buttered Biscuits

By Katie Lee on October 13, 2017 / 3,294 views

Two miles back down the road I smelled the freshly brewed coffee. The drive-through window lady always knew to put in three extra sugars and four creams. I could almost taste the hot buttered biscuits, as I pulled into the lot. I wondered why it was not packed. Well, it was Monday morning. I also reasoned that the sky was cloudy. It was still early. So, I waited. In the wait, I maximized the moments...

Elderly People

Wise people are very few, if we put a habit of hearing then wise people from our home to the outside world will find everywhere. The elderly are the most intelligent, they have expertise and their experience is very useful but it is very sad we don't appreciate our elderly. We ignore them who are the most valuable that is why we learn by being cheated, if we listen to our elderly wise people how much we...

Perfect Timing

By Kay Heitsch on October 11, 2017 / 3,413 views

"I don't understand, Lord! How could this be a part of Your plan for our lives?" Over and over again, these words whirled around in my mind as I drove home from work that afternoon. I couldn't believe that we were going to be moving again. "Don't you care about us, Lord?" Tears burned my eyes as they rolled down my cheeks. Down the road I could see a long line of...

Every Day Is Holy

By Joseph J. Mazzella on October 10, 2017 / 3,035 views

It was late September. I was driving through a heavy fog to a store to pick up a few things. When I got there I strolled through the store looking for what I needed. I grabbed a bag of dog food for my dogs, a pack of batteries for my son, and a bite of chocolate for myself. As I turned the corner to head for the checkout register, though, I saw something that stopped me in my tracks. A two foot tall skeleton...

You'll Need To Take Him

By Kay Heitsch on October 06, 2017 / 4,498 views

The phone rang, it was the school calling. "Would you please come and pick up Brandon? He seems to be sick." What could be wrong, I wondered? I drove right over to the school and picked him up. We drove home and he went upstairs to lie down. Brandon slept for a long time, but woke up very sick. It was now quite late and nothing was open; I wasn't sure what I should do. I called my husband Bill....

A Moment Of Clarity

By Joseph J. Mazzella on October 06, 2017 / 3,498 views

It was a long drive to the nursing home where my Grandmother was living, but at least twice a month I got into the car with my small children to make the trip to see her. We had already lost my Mom to cancer and I wanted them to be able to remember Nana. I wanted to be able to remember her as well, especially because she was beginning to forget me. Nana had Alzheimer’s disease. It was slowly...

Singing As We Roll Along

By Kay Heitsch on October 06, 2017 / 2,516 views

When I called the number, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I saw the ad in the phone book and it looked like something I would enjoy: "Non Medical In Home Care." The ad stated that I would be helping people, I assumed elderly, stay in their own homes. This sounded like the job for me. I love older people. I'd spent a lot of time volunteering in nursing homes. This ad said these...

At The Crossroads

By Joseph J. Mazzella on October 04, 2017 / 3,986 views

When I was a young father and Autumn would spread her colorful carpet across the hills and mountains of my home, I would often load my kids into the car and embark on a Fall foliage tour. We would take the back roads and look at the leaves shining in the sunlight. There would be glittering golds, blazing reds, and outrageous oranges, sometimes all on the same tree. We would drive and stop and look and be in...

Who Took The Lid Off?

By Kay Heitsch on October 04, 2017 / 2,513 views

Last week our little special needs grandson Noah owned up to something he had done. Noah had taken the lid off of the gerbil cage and the cat had gotten in. I'm happy to report the gerbils are fine. When Noah told me that he had taken the lid off the cage I was happy that he was taking responsibility for his actions. I told him how proud I was of him for owning up to what he had...

Father Is A Superman

By Sonia Kaur on October 02, 2017 / 3,598 views

Father is a superman, I believe this when my father left the world. How safe are we in the shadow of the father's Love. The love and affection that comes with your father can not be found anywhere else. Dad gives us all the happiness no matter how much trouble he sees himself. Dad doesn't fulfill desire or need of himself, but he fulfills all our desires and needs. “I cannot think of any need in...

My SO and I have been together for over 12 years, and married for more than half of that. We've gone the some rough times, but recently things have been so bad I'm honestly not sure if we're going good to make it. It's been awful. We were having a bad day already, and plans came up to meet SO's family for dinner. We were fighting in the car on the ride over, and continued arguing...

My First Review

By Joseph J. Mazzella on September 29, 2017 / 2,253 views

The first review I ever got for my writing happened in the middle of the night. I was a young adolescent going through the pains and trails of being a teenager. I knew too I had been a pain many times to both my Mom and my Dad. One day, however, I realized just how kind, loving, and supportive my parents had been to me during this time and in fact for my whole life. I was too shy to tell them how much I loved...

But not her...she was waiting with anticipation for the news.Her wave of thoughts were interrupted by the shrill sound of the telephone. Her heart skipped a beat as she picked it up. All her anxieties and fears were put to an end as her father on the other end happily said," You have a baby sister!" She was on cloud nine all the way...
