Week 366

Positive post Sunday, March 3, 2024…. Week 366.  Thanks to the grace of God, here I am BACK HOME for my regularly scheduled programming!  Well, considering what my family and I have just gone through, this PPS will certainly not be regular.  As covered by my loving daughters last week, I once again escaped death…

Week 365

Positive Post Sunday, February 25, 2024… Week 365 Written by Dan’s daughters- Heather, Stacy, Alison, and Kristy.  When we told our dad we would handle his Positive Post this week, he tried to micromanage it in true Dan fashion. He requested that we don’t make it about him. Luckily, we have no problem ignoring him,…

Positive post Sunday, February 18, 2024….

Positive post Sunday, February 11, 2024…. Week 363.  Lent, the origin of my PPS journey which began 363 weeks ago, starts in just 3 days, beginning with Ash Wednesday on February 14th.  Those faithful servants of the Lord like me, who also have loved ones, recognize that both Ash Wednesday and Valentine’s Day fall on…

WEEK 361

Positive post Sunday, January 28, 2024…. Week 361.  One of my favorite topics to write about is how frequently God speaks to us during our daily lives (see Positive post Sunday, December 3, 2023…. Week 353).  Well, I had yet another experience that some might see as a coincidence, but I choose to classify as…

Week 360

Positive post Sunday, January 21, 2024…. Week 360.  Over the holidays, my grandsons played baseball in our backyard, and being the creative and energetic boys they are, they decided to take all the “low hanging fruit” off my orange and lime trees to use as balls and to throw against our wall.  After I expressed…

Week 359

Positive post Sunday, January 14, 2024…. Week 359.  This week’s PPS is short and to the point.  Attached is the Nicene Creed, which we recite, with conviction and reflection, aloud every Sunday at Mass.  And, every Sunday at Mass, I also lean over and remind my grandson Christian that this Creed, which he can recite…

Week 358

Positive post Sunday, January 7, 2024- Week 358.  Now that we’ve survived the holidays, made all our New Year’s resolutions and possibly showed up for the annual visit to the gym, we can settle down and focus on 2024.  The Chinese New Year, which begins on February 10, 2024, is the year of the Wooden…

Week 357

Positive post Sunday, December 31, 2023- Week 357. I realize it’s not true, but it sure feels like the clock spins faster and the days get shorter the older you get. 2023 will come to a close this evening and it seems like it just started. I’ll spare you the long list of New Year’s…
