My one word

I don't always understand why or how people can be so mean and cruel sometimes.  Even so, I'm blessed to have people in my life that remind me not to believe people's lies.  I really need to develop thicker skin and need to learn to shake things off quickly so that I can carry on and live my life!  I will continue to strive to live my life in a way that pleases God and not worry about people who will never be pleased anyway. . .

Week 8

I spent a lot of time this week reflecting on what truly matters.  I'm thankful for my faithful, loyal and lovable furry companion, time with my loved ones, and cherished memories of those who have recently passed...I'm blessed in spite of the challenges I faced this week!

Sometimes you gotta live a little!

Week 7

I ended up having the week off unexpectedly (thanks to some furlough days) and found lots of time to enjoy living a much slower-paced life.  I love spending quality time with the people I love and enjoy alone time to unwind and relax. . .

My one word

. . . a great reminder that God is in control of the length of my life.  While only He knows the exact number of years I will live, I do have a part in determining how my time living will be spent.  I've got to get out there and "do something" rather than sit by and watch life pass me by. . .

Week 6

Colder weather means more time indoors, which is not bad for a homebody.  I enjoyed being able to spend extra time with my nephew this weekend. . .

My one word

As the first month of the year comes to an end, I am glad to say that I'm making some progress in living a more balanced life.  I still have a long way to go, but it was nice to go on long hikes, walk with Roxy almost daily, meet fun women, and even squeeze in some crafty time to make some mini-cards.  Here's to having more fun living life in February!!
