Small pieces of joy. Pieces of joy in each day. Laquo; blue october. Let’s be royal. On October 21, 2014. Today’s small thing: World Series: Game 1. I’ve been thinking about the Royals a lot in the past month and why my heart is so full now that they are being recognized. The Royals have been woven into my life from day one and I can’t deny all the wonderful memories and experiences I have because of my city and my baseball team. He always had hope. I think that is what I miss the most about Dad right no...

the third | small pieces of joy
https://smallpiecesofjoy.wordpress.com/2016/09/23/the-third
Small pieces of joy. Pieces of joy in each day. On September 23, 2016. Monday marked the third anniversary of Dad’s passing from this world to the next. The third year without Dad. Wow. It seems like such a long time, but remembering the events from three years ago feels like just yesterday. The past two years we have remembered Dad’s memorial day with something special. A service at the gravesite the first year, KSU football game and dinner at Texas Roadhouse the next. On a whim I left the house and dro...

You’re right, G. He is always with us. Especially at Texas Roadhouse. One response to “ country roads. July 7, 2016 at 8:04 am. Leave a comment Cancel rep...

My Grief Journey | small pieces of joy
https://smallpiecesofjoy.wordpress.com/my-grief-journey
Small pieces of joy. Pieces of joy in each day. Me with my dad, his parents, and my little George. On September 19, 2013 I said goodbye to my dad as he passed from this life into the next. There began my journey of mourning the loss of my father and working through the long process of grieving. In addition to talking to grief counselors and reading about grief I’ve taken to my blog to help me process my feelings, and also to maybe help others who might be hurting from loss as well. Ponder no. 2. 8211; on...

clouds | small pieces of joy
https://smallpiecesofjoy.wordpress.com/2016/08/19/clouds
Small pieces of joy. Pieces of joy in each day. Laquo; country roads. On August 19, 2016. A few weeks ago we attended a funeral of another family member. On our long drive home we were commenting on the cloud formations. I called some of them ‘Toy Story’ clouds–if you have seen the movie I think you know what I mean. G chimed in and said,”Which cloud do you think is holding Uncle L, Mema, Jesus and Mary? Especially in the clouds. One response to “ clouds. August 19, 2016 at 4:37 pm. Notify me of new post...

happy birthday mom | small pieces of joy
https://smallpiecesofjoy.wordpress.com/2015/11/05/happy-birthday-mom
Small pieces of joy. Pieces of joy in each day. Laquo; extra innings. So this is the new year. On November 5, 2015. Happy birthday to a mom who truly does everything. Actions speak louder than words, and your actions are thunderous. When someone needs your help, ‘no’ is not in your vocabulary. You decorated for high school events, even when your children weren’t attending. When your daughter has pregnancy cravings, you send her money for Chipotle. Doing for others always came before yourself. Happy birth...

a note | small pieces of joy
https://smallpiecesofjoy.wordpress.com/2015/08/25/a-note
Small pieces of joy. Pieces of joy in each day. On August 25, 2015. Today’s small thing: an encouraging note from my doctor. Posts have been few and far between on this blog in the past few months. I’ve been uninspired, tired, full of self pity, sadness, so I didn’t feel like putting all that ugly out in the blogosphere. Today, however, feels very different! My nutritionist taught me her ‘ABCs’ which is be Active, Breathe and appreciate, Calories. She said moving, controlling stress, leav...Now that I...

donuts with dad | small pieces of joy
https://smallpiecesofjoy.wordpress.com/2015/10/22/donuts-with-dad
Small pieces of joy. Pieces of joy in each day. Laquo; a note. On October 22, 2015. Two years without Dad. It seems like forever and also just yesterday, like most memories, I guess. The weekend was wonderful. Yes, I did say wonderful, strangely enough. The quality time I was allowed gave me so much joy. Laughing, talking, enjoying family. Something I just don’t get enough of while living so far away. The next morning we dragged ourselves out of bed for early mass, then did a Dunkin’ stop before vi...
