A week into the new year now. It sort of feels the same as last year, but I am trying to sense a difference. 2026 is young. I don't know about you, but I, personally, am going to try to make it a good year for myself and for those whose lives I may have an opportunity to touch. This is sort of my goal every year. Not sure how successful I am, but I do think that trying counts. Hope so anyway....
What really made me stop and think about this is the angel who appeared on my porch the morning after the most recent ice storm -- it was still mega icy out and yet -- there she stood ... a lovely angel with a lovely smile and cleats on her boots. She brought me a book -- because it reminded her of me as far as sense of humor goes and, in some ways because of the sort of things I write about in this blog -- or maybe more about how I write about them. That she would even think of me touched my heart. The book is a bonus. Huge. She mentioned that she had ended up using the positive messages of this book as a daily devotion. I can see why. I could never come close to that in my writing. Wish I could.
So .. I recommend this book to you. My hope is to share the blessing that was passed on to me. It is entitled When Life Gives You Pears. The writer is Jeannie Gaffigan. These words are also on the cover -- "The Healing Power of Family, Faith, and Funny People." That gives you a hint about the nature of this writing. Warning... If you choose to read it, you will occasionally find yourself smiling/laughing through tears. Have Kleenex at the ready. 😊
So thankful for the kindness of others. I believe in angels. I think I always have. May 2026 bless you and yours....
I wish you an angel on your porch.
