The Blue Moon Lingers

The beauty of last night’s blue moon lingers…

This post is dedicated to a little girl named Jessica Ann, to the lovely young wife and mother she has become, and to all the times we sang the moon song together.

I see the moon, the moon sees me, the moon sees the one I long to see. So, God bless the moon, and God bless me, and God bless the one I long to see.

Hugs, Shellie

Backwards Beatitudes

I know. I’ve been MIA on theblog lately. I’ve found itchallenging to keep all of the ATS balls in the air during Mama’s back surgery and recovery. The to-do list got whittled down to the must-do and the blog didn’t make the cut.

Mama’s doing well, improving a little more every day. She’sa good patient. She doesn’t want to “bother anyone”, this from awoman who has spent her life tending family and friends. Bother me, mama?It’s a privilege.

There remains a ton of things I should/could be doing ri...

2nd Pew Left Hand Side, VBS & Deep and Wide

I’m sitting beside Mama’s hospital bed watching her sleep and thinking aboutthe heritage of love and self-sacrifice she’s given this family. Maybe it’s the nostalgia of the moment, but I keep thinking about some words I wrote this week about family. It hasmewanting to share them with any of you whomay not follow Southern Belleview. (FYI, Southern Belleview is a site where I join four other authors who are “down write southern” in a weekly free-for-all on whatever topic we decide to launch. I...
