Today went OK, all things considered!

Jan. 9

Yesterday was a day we did not expect to go the way it did. Details on our family blog. Link in sidebar.

But, I am so excited because I just seem so much calmer in my approach to life since I have decided to act in LOVE, instead of whatever emotion crosses my day-like yesterday-fear, anger, frustration......

Jan. 8

Things continue to go better. I am thrilled!

Jan. 7

I chose love by not getting cranky again! This is helping me SOOOOO much! It's amazing what a few changes in behavior will do!

Now, if I could only remember to make good decisions re. food, I would be doing MUCH better-but hey, one thing at a time, right?

Jan.6

I was very cranky today.......much to my embarassment, but the Lord brought to mind my decisions to act loving-so I tried, & thanks to the Holy Spirit, I was able to not LOOSE IT with anyone in my family!!!

Jan. 5

How did I behave lovingly today??? I didn't LOOSE IT with family members (who shall remain nameless-ha!! ha!!!)

Jan. 4

Let's see.....today I chose loving actions by doing all the lesson plans/menus & general planning for this new week.

I didn't feel like spending my Sunday afternoon that way.......but the thought that I needed to-to show my family (& myself!) love, brought me to my kitchen table to complete the task!

I'm not saying this to brag-this kind of self-dicipline is HARD for me, & Praise the Lord, He has been helping me!!!

Jan. 3

I chose love.....by not being annoyed when I made supper, fed everyone supper (with some help from my great hubby!), bathed everyone (twice for Natty-don't ask!), put clean sheets on both the girls' beds (with MORE help from Dave, otherwise the 30 minute project would have taken even longer).

These things are just LIFE.....& it it has taken me a long time to realise I need to act loving, even when they all happen at once!

I am realising, too, that when I act loving.......my emotions are more moderate! YEAH!!! :-)

Jan. 2

I chose moderation today be returning to Weight Watchers. This shows love for myself......I need to take better care of myself.

I also bought a bracelet for myself a few days ago with some hearts on it-to remind me to act in loving ways this year-no matter how I feel!

Ode to a neglected blog:

Oh, how do I neglect Thee?
Let me count the ways.

I neglect Thee in August
I neglect Thee in September
I neglect Thee in October…..

I neglect Thee through new flooring installation
I neglect Thee while cruising
I neglect Thee while “Single” parenting

I neglect Thee the worst…..when Thy guilt thrust upon me is too much to bear.
But, here & now I pledge Thee my faithful attention & care.

Planned Blog Break

Flooring is all being replaced!
