Today I had the best Mother's Day in many years! My older daughter's friend invited us to spend the day with her and her family. We each took something to eat, and we all enjoyed a wonderful lunch...

I have discovered that it is more fulfilling to make the most of my journey in life, rather than just to get to my next destination.  By concentrating on the little things, and making the best of...

Lately our landlord is turning into a rude and horrible person. He is making life very unpleasant and difficult for us. I'm looking for another place for us to stay, which we can afford, but it is...

I have been so caught up in all my problems, that I couldn't see beyond them. Nothing seems to improve, and the problems just pile up. What is there to be grateful for? Then my son came to visit us...

Yesterday I had to take my Down Syndrome daughter to the dentist, who is in our neighbouring town, about an hour's drive from here. She has a broken tooth, and I was concerned about her reaction to...

This evening my son's girlfriend sent me an sms, complimenting me for being such a nice person, and raising my children to be such wonderful people. She also thanked me for making this world a better...

Early this morning my older daughter's ex-husband woke me up with his phone call. He was very upset with my daughter, and threatened to kill her. He is not someone who makes idle threats. I was very...

I got some unexpected advice, which really turned my life into a positive direction!  For the past few months I've been so depressed, due to my circumstances, that I started giving up on life. I...

Ever since I can remember, I tried my best with everything I did. At times I even achieved the impossible, with God's help and grace. But nobody ever cared, and it didn't make my life one little bit...

Today I was looking at the clouds in the sky. There were lots and lots of huge big clouds, graciously floating and changing, covering the blue sky. They always remind me of the waves of the sea, when...

It feels as if my life is going downhill so fast, towards disaster, and I cannot do anything to change that! Colleen has lung infection again, Melany is very sick with kidney infection, and she still...

Last week I was upset because I had health problems, but afterwards I became concerned. So I made an appointment with the specialist and went to see him today. Now I understand why I needed that...

I know that I can't chose my children's partners for them. But how can I stop a selfish and manipulative little witch from brainwashing my precious son? She has caused so much heartache for us...
