Saturday is a normal day
Yes, I was up early at 6am to get my Cardio Fix on. Yes, it’s Saturday.
As Autumn says though, you’ll only be cheating yourself if you don’t stick to a plan or routine.
New Blog!
Here I go again, creating a blog to document thoughts and progress as I travel through this year.
Relearning all the new things I can do with WordPress is fun as well.
I’m not sure what I’ll share and how I’ll do it, but here I am starting again.
What have I been doing?
A lot of knitting and spring cleaning and trying to be more diligant on my bible studies. . . man, it’s such a balancing act.
I have done, been doing commission works as well, including this quickie embroidery add on to this center piece. This is by Karen Davison, a true newbie to quilting and she is making this for her grand-daughter. I’m so impressed by her willingness to jump right into those challenging techniques of quilting. She is taking my beginner classes now, but she has learned a lot by just stopping into the shop asking a few questions at a time. And all I did was add the name and date 🙂 This is about 36″ x 42″.
And one of our largest local guilds had their annual quilt show a few weeks ago. I didn’t take a lot of pictures (camera was dying), but here’s a few to enjoy. The Smokey Mountain Guild, based in Knoxville, TN has over 200 members and host a show every year.
He Has Risen!
Matthew 28:6 NIV He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.
Rejoice in knowing our Savior lives and has risen for me and you. What a blessed day this is to remember the importance of this event.
I’m trying to re-energize my blog this week…new layout, new “about me”, just renew. I’ve been working through how I wish to use my blog. And I have several blogs – – – it’s hard to combine them all into one because they represent different parts of my life, at the same time it’s hard to keep up with 3! 🙂
So, let’s try simple with one post at a time.
Happy Easter!
Grateful Thoughts
Happy New Year’s!
It’s funny every year I read and listen to folks mention how bad the previous year has been and how they hope and wish for a better new year. I wish they find that peace and happiness they are looking for and deserve this year. Everyone deserves happiness and peace.
Every year is hard, difficult and sad – – yet, there is always positive and so many blessings to be thankful for. It seems sometime we focus more on the bad because of the emotional impact it has. But I think if we list all the good, the bad seems to disappear – or at least minimize.
I think, if we start the year off with a mindset of gratefulness, when trouble does happen we can adapt to it a little easier.
I’m grateful for:
- My husband and his journey home.
- My kids and their challenges and successes in their lives.
- My furry friends.
- My new relationships with friends.
- My old relationships with friends that continue to grow.
- My paycheck, food on the table, roof over my head, electricity and the internet.
