Sunday Gratitude – 5.IV.2026
To those celebrating today – Christ is Risen! – Happy Easter!
And then there are the “weird” ones here who are still waiting another week, among which I count myself. There have been a lot of services already – yesterday, I think I was in church for nearly four hours. I’ve really struggled this Lent; from the beginning, I felt less ready for it than most years and this year… wow. For the greater part of Lent, I believed that the Orthodox were also going to be celebrating Pascha today, and it was only looking at the calendar more carefully a couple of weeks ago when I realized that no, there’s a one-week difference. I don’t know. I wasn’t expecting to spend so much time in church this weekend, but I was at vigil last night, and I certainly had the feeling of moving from the darkness into the light, and by the time the service was over, there was an air of hopefulness and joy there. For that I am grateful. (My brain did fight against this on the way home, though. *sigh*)
I am grateful for the more spring-like weather, and the opportunity to be outside. I’m also grateful for my neighbor who invites me to come walking with her.
I am grateful for friends who take the time to talk even in the rain.
I am grateful for making it home in a storm the other day; I wasn’t expecting it, then all of a sudden, I was driving down this country highway with lightning flashes all around. I don’t think that they were very close, as there was only a tiny bit of thunder, but what a show! The next day, driving down those same roads, I could actually see how high the water is, and I’m grateful that there were no issues with low-lying stretches of road or the bridges.
Time to take the Christmas wreath down! I am thankful to have had a little bit of time to be outside with my kids, and I’m thankful that they have places around that they can enjoy riding their bikes through, and that they’ve been fine with this “exploring”.
I am thankful for the joy of singing.
I am thankful for the things that are showing signs of life (and even blooming) even after a very cold winter and long periods of neglect.
I am grateful for the opportunity to have been in contact with a number of people on this day, in the joy of Easter.
I am grateful for yet another sign that I’m not alone through the hard stuff.
Thank you so much for being here! Christ is Risen!

Sunday Gratitude – 29.III.2026
I really hate it when it seems like I blink and yet another week has passed. Somehow so much of this time ends up feeling like a blur, and it seems like all that is left is a growing list of things that should have been done long ago, but haven’t been done yet.
In the meantime, though, I’ve been trying not to lose a sense of gratitude, and to also try to make the most of the days at hand. We’ve had a couple of days that have hit 70F, which has been amazing, and especially as the days are getting longer, it would be terrible if we didn’t do something to take advantage of the warmer weather. My younger son had a day off of school a couple of weeks back, and the two of us went out on our bikes and rode ten miles together, and it was amazing. He also started taking pictures with my camera that afternoon, so I’ll be sharing a few of those in this post.
A couple of weeks after the real birthday, my youngest, in kindergarten, had her first real birthday party. It was a bowling alley affair, and, per the terms of the contract, was less than two hours long, but for a group of 5 and 6 year olds, it was fine. I was completely stressed out over this for at least a week for a number of reasons, but it turned out really, really good. Even the weather held out, kind of… It started raining about the time that the party started, and it was still raining as people left. Had we started a couple of hours later, everybody would have been going home in sleet, because we had a blizzard come through the next day. The kids were thrilled to get the day off of school, and despite the crazy wind, we never lost power. The next day, our dear neighbor made a path for our car using a snowblower.
I’m grateful that even though I managed to break a spoke on the one bike (a different one than before), this happened in a place where I could ride to a place where I could leave the bike for a couple of days, and which was very close to the bike shop. On the night that this happened, I was also able to get a ride back home with one of the ladies from church. I’d never talked to her before, and she’s incredibly sweet, and lives just a couple of streets over from where I live.
I’m grateful for the amazing time I had at St. Haralambos in Niles a couple of weeks back. Not only were some very dear “real life” friends there, I finally got to meet Fr. Andrew Damick in person. We have been online acquaintances (friends) for over 20 years, and it seemed like high time to meet him in person. He actually recognized me by sight as well, which is crazy because it’s been a looong time since I posted any photos of myself that he might come across. 🙂 That was a lot of fun, though.
Breezy days and kites! I am grateful, as well, for the opportunity to visit an old friend and just enjoy sitting on the front step, having a conversation in the sunshine.
In many ways, I feel pulled very, very, very thin. There have been a lot of good things, to be sure, but there have been a number of very, very frustrating things as well. I don’t know; at this point, I’m not sure that I’ll ever have things “figured out”, but there’s a path to go forward on, and that’s the way through this all. Forgive me again for the blog silence – I truly am grateful for you.

Sunday Gratitude – 21.IX.2025
I’m in the middle of cleaning my kitchen because the plumber is scheduled to come tomorrow morning, and as much as I don’t like the idea of having to spend money because stuff goes wrong, I’m grateful that I can pick up a phone and make an appointment with ease. I’m especially grateful to the friend who had time to chat after I was getting quite emotional going through stuff – just being able to get out of my own head a bit helped a lot.
I am grateful for the time I had this week to just sit down and chat with a priest. A lot of the conversation probably wasn’t really terribly profound, but it’s so good just to be able to talk with somebody who is aligned in faith.
I am grateful that I was able to go out with the bike this week. The weather has been amazing – even a little warm for riding – and everything is still so green, except for the trees, whose leaves are starting to turn red. For me, biking feels kind of like flying; even if I’m going only a few miles, it feels like freedom.
I am thankful that as one of my kids is settling down into a better routine, school stuff seems to be less awful than it was made out to be. Getting a decent amount of sleep often makes more of a difference than one would think!
I am thankful that despite distance and time, I’m still able to help a friend in dark hours.
I am, as always, grateful for those of you who read and who pray, and who comment and chat. It’s all very much appreciated.

Sunday Gratitude – 14.IX.2025
I’m here! All five children have started school, and I’m working on trying to get everything to work one way or another. I’m grateful that they are all in school – and for the breathing room that having some quiet time during the day every weekday affords. Three of my kids are eligible for bus service, though this is still a thing where wrinkles are being ironed out, as one didn’t get on the bus roster until the 11th, and the other two have had their pick-up time moved up by 17 minutes. (Mind you, the district feels it’s appropriate to send me an email about the change after 4pm on a Sunday to boot!) Even so, I’m grateful for the break from driving, and the kids do seem to enjoy the autonomy that doing this on their own brings.
I’m grateful to have been able to catch up with a neighbor friend, get out with her, and learn a little bit about the area. It was getting close to a year where, despite living next door, we’d had the time to just do something together, and that was very nice.
This weekend was really busy, but the weather was perfect, and I think my kids had a lot of fun. I’m exhausted, but I’m grateful for that time with them, and I hope it’s something that they can remember as being happy. Watching my middle child work on getting a kite into the air, for instance, was really cool.
I am grateful that as I was driving one day at the time of evening when colors can kind of melt into the blue before nightfall that I saw something with just enough time to react in order to prevent something really bad from happening.
I am thankful for the hugs a friend of my youngest gives. Oh, five year olds! (Is it too early to be arranging this marriage? *L*)
I am thankful that with all the driving, especially on Thursday, that everything went reasonably well. I am also thankful that despite a shipping carton being beat up pretty badly, something that I ordered and was quite looking forward to was, apart from some very minor scrapes on a little-seen area – undamaged.
I’m realizing right now, with just over an hour before midnight, that this is September 14, and the twenty-third anniversary of my baptism and entry into the Orthodox church. It hasn’t all been Instagram-worthy, but I am grateful for this journey.
As always, I am grateful for all of you. Thank you for being here.

Sunday Gratitude – 24.VIII.2025
Just in time for the first week of school for a couple of my kids, the weather has turned cooler, and the last two nights have had the faintest chill attached to them. Where did the summer go? Granted, it *has* been very short for me, and we did manage to go outside some and have “adventures” going to the movies.
I was out with my three youngest for day out yesterday. It ended up being a LONG day, but it was nice doing it kind of as a full-day trip. We got to our destination and back safely, and even though I forgot my cell phone, we found where we needed to go. I even got to show my kids what we did in the days before the internet, which included stopping and asking people for directions. (I actually did this twice, and both times, I was within about two miles of the destination, in one instance, even on the same street!) On the way home, we even managed to make it to the Cedar Crest Ice Cream Parlor in Manitowoc. The ice cream is incredible, and it’s small, but a memorable place to visit. I am very grateful the trip went well; I don’t like expressway driving by myself, and I ended up on I-43 with an erratic truck near me. It got to the point where I got off just so I wouldn’t be on the same road. On the state highway I exited to, about 20 minutes later, we drove up on a police incident that had spilled out on the road, briefly stopping traffic. Younger son got to see police dealing with a very tough situation, and while it wasn’t pretty, there’s part of me that is grateful that he does have some exposure to the hard stuff when he’s young, and in this case, he and I got to talk about it some.
I am thankful to the lady at McDonalds, who, seeing the balloon on a stick that my youngest was carrying get carried away by a gust of wind, (carefully) drove halfway the neighboring grocery store’s parking lot to grab it before it was gone for good. My youngest had started screaming bloody murder and had to be pulled back from running across the lots without looking, and even her brother wanted to run for it, which I forbade him from doing. I tried going after it, but with all the other things in my hands, I could barely jog, and here this lady not only saw this, but decided to take the time to help. It was an amazingly kind thing to do, and as we were back in the car after this and my kids were discussing why a total stranger would do this, my youngest commented, “Maybe she likes God”.
When AI doesn’t behave, go back to basic I am grateful that the first week of school for my two youngest has been so far, so good. They also seem to think that riding the bus is the best thing ever. It is going to require a level of coordination to get them to continue to not miss the bus (especially when their older siblings are in school) but to not have to do this drive every morning and evening is incredibly helpful for my sanity.
I am grateful to have been able to bike to Bible study this week – there and back is about 14 miles. It felt really good as well. That was Thursday. On Saturday, I grabbed the bike and something was obviously not right with the rear tire. I am not sure what happened, but if the tire was loose or something, I’m very thankful that I didn’t have the issue on the road. I’m trying to learn how to take care of the bikes better and learn basic maintenance, but in this case, I think I’m going to have to take the bike in to get looked at as well as tuned up. I’m grateful, though, that I’ve got kids who are really enjoying the bikes as well, and I’m already thinking of things we could possibly do next summer.
I accidentally cut someone off while driving the day before the trip, and it shook me a fair amount. I am supremely grateful that there was no accident or anything, just someone supremely annoyed with me.
I am really thankful for friends and people around me; I feel under pressure from a number of sides, and while I’m not trying to borrow trouble, I’m also not wanting to wander around unprepared.
Thank you all for being here. It means a lot. I am thankful for you all.

Sunday Gratitude – 17.VIII.2025
This summer has gone by fast! I knew it would, but it’s a little bit crazy to think that we’re now on the cusp of the new school year. For a couple of the kids, the first day back is Tuesday, and as much as I’ve enjoyed having a more relaxed timetable, in the last couple of weeks, especially, the amount of stuff that just needed to get done and had its little time slot to do it has been incredible. Mind you, some of that was discretionary, but it did seem important to have some fun over the summer as well. I am grateful for this time, especially with being able to do a little bit of biking with my younger three. I found out that it’s possible to put three-and-a-half bikes in the back of the van and still have space for the kids to sit in the middle row.
I’m grateful that there have been other things this summer that they have enjoyed. I know that they would have liked to have gone somewhere, but at the moment, that’s not in the cards. However, we did have our movie days and the biking and a couple of other outings here and there. Fall is actually a great time to be out on a bike, so I’m hoping that maybe we can do some of this still on the weekends.
As crazy as things are, I’m thankful for another year and all that comes with another trip around the sun. I probably would have been better at waxing philosophical last week, but the sentiment remains.
Not quite what we were doing, but short of my own photos, this is what I’ve got. I’m grateful that with all the driving (and riding), these were safe and fairly uneventful rides.
I am grateful that a good friend of mine is the proud father of newborn twins – kids #2 and #3. Yes, some of us from high school have children who are already adults, and some have teeny-tiny babies. However, when this is somebody whose medical issues were so severe, by all rights, he ought to be dead, all of these celebrations just seem to have added meaning.
I am grateful that I’ve been catching up with another old friend. It’s possible to make good friends at any point in life, but, wow, if you are lucky enough to still be in contact with people you’ve known since you were very young, that is amazing.
I’m sorry I haven’t managed to post – I seem to have a habit of not thinking about writing until I am very tired and then tell myself “Oh, I can catch up on Tuesday.” *L* And then the last two Tuesdays have been completely full of their own things to do. Thank you for bearing with me on this journey – I am so grateful for you!

Goodbye (Mary Hopkin, Paul McCartney, etc.)
I have had this song stuck in my head for the last couple of days.
Mary Hopkin’s big hit in the United States was “Those Were the Days“, but in the UK, she was known for more than this. She was one of the acts signed to the Beatles’ label, Apple records, and as a result, she benefitted from working directly with them, and in particular Paul McCartney, who can be seen in the above video. What’s interesting is that he cut a demo version that’s very similar, but is a little more reminiscent of “Blackbird” (even down to the fact that “Blackbird” is basically a demo track with a bit of sound effect added).
I don’t know, to me it’s interesting how in Paul’s music, there’s kind of a theme of there being times where one does need to say goodbye to begin again; that the goodbyes are necessary for one’s growth and sanity. It’s not the only song with this type of energy, but he wrote “I’ll Follow the Sun” and it has a similar type of energy, in my opinion, at least.
I also adore this cover. What’s interesting to me is that here it’s sung as a female duet, and it’s incredibly reminiscent of Beatles’ harmonies, but also hearkens back a little bit more to the pre-rock’n’roll female groups to my ears.
I certainly hope that this is going to help me get this song from floating around my head over and over and over again. If that’s going to happen, I suppose that this isn’t the worst song to have it happen with. 🙂

Sunday Gratitude – 27.VII.2025
Wow, this week has been wild! The kids and I were so off schedule that we didn’t make it to church last week, and it was about 3 minutes before midnight before I even remembered about writing. Monday came along with a lot of stuff to get done, and then, well, I can’t write about it here, but Monday night into Tuesday was awful. Scary and embarrassing and just wrapped in a fever of emotion. Kind of at a loss on Tuesday morning, I put up a prayer request on a Substack note, and more people than even subscribe to my Substack saw this and have prayed for me and my kids, and the amount of gratitude I have for that is not able to be quantified. Not only that, but the remainder of the week was much calmer, even with a child getting sick.
I’m thankful that after all of this, I got to spend some time with friends this weekend. I absolutely needed it.
I’m also thankful that I was able to get a number of tasks done, even though they were the type that just take a lot of time.
I am grateful that even though one of these tasks required me driving into suburban Chicago on a Friday afternoon, everything went well, despite me getting fairly lost in the process. It may sound weird, but I generally do not like using Google Maps or any other SatNav type instructions – it really stresses me out. I *usually* have a pretty good sense of where I am, but whether it was from being tired, or being distracted by my neck hurting, my sense of direction seemed to have been shot this weekend.
I am grateful to have been able to get out a little to walk and to bike. I even saved money on parking in one instance! However, it was quite hot! I tried staying hydrated beforehand, but that was really hard, so I’m grateful that everything turned out okay.
I am grateful for all of you who read and comment and who do pray!

Sunday Gratitude – 13.VII.2025- (yes it’s late on Tuesday)
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases through affiliate links to Amazon.com.
Sunday was the feast day of St. Alexander of Munich. 82 years ago, he was executed by the Nazi regime. I’m planning on getting this book – “Alexander Schmorell, Christoph Probst, und die Weisse Rose” – for my birthday, God willing. It sounds weird to say, I suppose, but I am certain that he’s praying for me, and I am eternally grateful for that. I think a lot of people come into Christianity with a kind of vague idea of this now being the time to be a better person. That’s not a bad thing, per se, but being Orthodox has made the goal to be a saint, and I take real comfort in the fact that the prayers of the saints surround us. I am looking forward to getting to meet him in the realest life there is – the life in the world to come.
My youngest, when she was not here, decided to take a little solo adventure with her bicycle. Luckily, she was only gone for 45 minutes or so – or so I’m told – and despite the police getting involved, things got resolved relatively quickly.
I am thankful to have had a weekend that included calling friends and having long conversations, some time to get some stuff done, both inside and out, and also a little bit of time to just go out on the bike. I also got a couple miscellaneous errands done, and I’m really looking forward to “adventures” of my own before too long.
I am grateful to those who have been using the Amazon links from here – over the last week or so, there’s been a small pick-up in affiliate sales, and while it’s certainly a little thing, every little bit helps.
I am grateful that it was a pretty laid-back week, and that there were days where I didn’t have to go anywhere.
I’m thankful for all the people who have patience for me, and thankful for all of you for reading and praying for me as well. 🙂

Sunday Gratitude – 6.VII.2025
This is probably going to sound corny, but I’m grateful for the ancestry work that the Church of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) do. We, as Orthodox, talk about “memory eternal”, but at least these days, we don’t do a whole lot to even remember our own families. I’ve been interested in genealogy since I was a kid, and today I’ve been making some headway on FamilySearch.org, which is fun. These days, a person can even post photos and stories and such to go along with people, and it’s really neat to see relatives of mine post pictures of people. Some of these photos are well over a century old! In doing this sort of research, I’ve come across bits and pieces of stories, and it’s really interesting – and humbling.
I am grateful that the weather has cooled a bit. I think the high humidity has been messing with my head a bit; I just haven’t felt quite right for the last few days, but I think the high humidity has had something to do with that.
I’m thankful that my younger kids convinced me to take them out to see fireworks. As much as I was getting very frustrated with some of the behavior, it was nice, and it’s probably very good that there are some *traditions* to hold on to. I’m thankful that the trip was uneventful, and that I got some time to just chat about things with younger son in the car.
I’m grateful that one of my youngest’s pairs of glasses was found and was not destroyed. I’m also grateful that I found one of my two pairs, a pair which apparently fell off my desk, before that was destroyed either.
I’m grateful for friendships that inspire, and touching base with someone who I don’t talk with very often, but whose friendship means a lot over all these years.
And I am thankful that this week marked the birthday of another friend whose struggles have been enormous, simply knowing he’s still here, fighting for another day. There’s been twice in my life, many years apart, when I didn’t know that he’d make it to his next birthday and, well, there’s that gratitude for life now each time that that day comes rolling around.
I’m very glad to have been able to slow down quite a bit this week, and that a fairly large tangle has been resolved, at least for now.
Thank you so much, again, for the part you play in this – I am incredibly grateful for you all.

“A Cloud of Outrageous Blue” by Vesper Stamper – Book Impressions
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases through affiliate links to Amazon.com.
I bought “A Cloud of Outrageous Blue” last year at the Touchstone Conference after meeting Vesper Stamper, its author and one of last year’s speakers. I had been impressed listening to Vesper talk about her life in a couple of podcasts I listened to before the event and it was wonderful to actually get to speak with her in person. We certainly do have a couple of common interests, and I hope that we’ll get to meet again.
In any case, I finally got around to reading the book a couple of weeks ago. I flew through it. Mind you, it’s written as a young adult book, which does tend to make it easier to go through a work quickly, but more than that, it was the type of good that made me not want to put it down. With all the distractions in my life these days, getting through it in such a fashion is high praise in itself.
The book centers around a young woman named Edyth whose family is ripped apart towards the end of 1348. Having few other prospects after her father falls into disgrace, her older brother arranges for her to live at a convent. She’s not being forced to take vows to become a nun, but because she’s living at the convent, she’s subject to their rules and their way of life. As a teenager who had her own picture of how her life was going to play out, she’s far from happy about this turn of events. On the other hand, life at the convent is not easy, but apart from her growing conflict with the second-in-charge, it isn’t terrible either.
However, as the story wends its way into 1349, there is a creeping danger to the tranquility of the convent. Plague. For a good long while, it’s the boogeyman creeping around the edges of their consciousness, but nothing that has touched the daily routines of the ancient church. Soon enough, though, there’s nowhere to run from it…
As I mentioned before, I liked this book a lot. The writing is really good, and the setting is fairly unusual as well. Furthermore, while it isn’t a “Christian” book, per se, the fact that the majority of the story takes place in the convent and is not hostile to Christianity is refreshing. Sure, Edyth sometimes finds herself running afoul of the convent’s rules. On the other hand, even within the book, one can pick up on the place kind of running on its own separate time – seasons, feast days, daily offices, work and prayer that become as routine as breathing.
In the end, there are choices and consequences, death and miracles, and the things that legends are made of. As dark as some of this book can get – and I definitely wouldn’t recommend anyone under ten read it without someone with whom they can talk to about some of these themes – in the end, there is great light, and a path for Edyth that is totally unexpected. In this way, the book stands in sharp contrast to a lot of what passes for “young adult” literature these days, particularly with their themes of magick and eternal death.
I liked this book so much that I got myself a copy of another one of Vesper’s books, “Berliners“. I hope to get to it soon! Also, there’s another book that’s coming out this year that Vesper was part of creating, “A Knot is Not A Tangle“, where she served as illustrator… Yes, that’s one thing that I forgot to mention above – besides writing the book, Vesper also illustrated it, so the entire book has her illustrations interspersed throughout. Usually, I don’t pay very much attention to illustrations, but they certainly do augment the book beautifully.
Anyway, if any of you have read this or any other of Vesper Stamper’s books, I’d love to hear from you! 🙂

Sunday Gratitude 29.VI.2025
It’s weird to think that June is just about over, and the days are starting to get shorter. I’m thankful that the really hot weather passed, though over the past week it’s been a good bit warmer than before, especially at night.
The last week or so has been filled with a lot of frustration, cranky kids, and things that didn’t quite go the way they should. On the other hand, I’m thankful that we have things like good dentists and things. I had an “extra” appointment this past week – I hated that I had to be there, but I was happy that the issue could (*finally*) be taken care of.
I’m thankful to the priest who thinks that it is important enough to have singers for things like baptisms, weddings, etc., that he paid the three of us who were there for one of these events something in appreciation. I’m thankful for not having to drive as much (even though there were appointments and stuff) and just taking it easy a little bit.
Lighthouse Thank you so much for reading! I appreciate it a lot!
