sometimes i dance
in the rain
because frankly,
My Lord,
there are times
in this life
that YOU have
given me
that the rain
and the clouds
are much and if i don't go
outside and dance in the
rain, i might never see
any rainbows.
love,
me

welcome! this was my original spot. but it has sort of become my thoughtful spot. the place where i contemplate things that go on inside my head. here is my happy place. just in case you want to read more! thanks for stopping by.
"i like living.
i have sometimes been wildly,
despairingly, acutely miserable,
racked with sorrow,
but through it all i still know
quite certainly
that just to be alive
is a grand thing."

ordinary woman

there will come a day for quiet kitchen mornings
lunches with the girls, book clubs in the afternoons
there will come a day for chintz flowers on my sofa
just the perfect lipstick, matching purse and shoes
there will come a day without constant interruption
confusing all my senses, my reason and my rhyme
but for now i trip on the backpacks in the hallway,
scrub the crayon from the wall
that marks this ordinary time

there will come a day for uneventful dinners, where
no one drops their fork or spills their milk upon the floor
there will come a day, i'll be wiser, i'll be thinner
i will finish conversations before rushing out the door

well, isn't that the way it is for all those happy women
who smile at me from magazines there in the checkout line
well, what about the tired, the SIMPLE and forgotten
blessed be the ordinary
here
in ordinary time

He said, "who will feed my sheep, who will heed their cry?",
i said, " i am vain and weak, but surely i will try
and You know everything
and You know that i am just
an ordinary woman
here
in ordinary time

there will come a day
where everything is ordered
and i will be the queen of everything i see
and how my heart will leap
to find one backpack in the hallway
with the promise of a face
and a story just for me
so may i never yearn for those cocktail conversations
clever observations made for fashionable minds
may i finally learn
to be happy and have patience
with the constant changing rhythym of
this ordinary time

Catholic Action Prayer

O MERCIFUL SAVIOUR, Who hast made it possible for me to save my soul from death, by converting others, grant us, we beseech Thee, an active share in Thine Own zeal for souls.

If I had not been redeemed by Thee, where would I be at this moment? What bewildering questions and doubts would now be afflicting my soul if Thou hadst not given me the light of faith?

Save me, O Jesus, from that blinding indifference, praying and acting merely for my own needs, while at my own door, amongst my own acquaintances, there are so many starved minds in need of Thy Truth; so many famished hearts in need of Thy love.

Have mercy on me, O Jesus, and grant me the grace to rise from my slumber, and fix deep in my soul such a personal love for Thee that I may act always and everywhere for the salvation of other souls, especially in those works recommended by our Holy Father, our Bishops and Pastors. Amen.

Holy Celestial Queen, with this Rosary, I bind my children to your Immaculate Heart.

A Mother's Prayer of Faith

A Mother's Prayer of Faith
Lord, I believe in the Triune God. Lord, I believe You are creator of all. Lord, I believe in Your Church, Lord, I believe in the Holy Spirit, The Comforter. Lord, I believe in Mary, the Queen of Heaven. Let me, Lord, be dedicated to You through this belief. Enlighten me in firmness of faith, may I lead my family and all who are close to me to a greater understanding of Your will. And may I be drawn to You in knowledge and love, for the works of creation and salvation reflect God's glory. Through faith may my every action redound to the glory of God. As the morning comes, as the quiet of night surrounds me, may You be my inspiration and strength in meeting life's challenges, its' joys and sorrows. I know, Jesus, that faith in You brings its own blessings on me, and leads me through cooperation with these truths to a life pleasing to You. To serve in love, to live in faith, is to praise You and one day to obtain the glory of heaven.~Amen
