Get Up and Go

I'd like to know where my get up and go went to?

On days like today when I don't have my grandsons to take care of and I don't have any appointments to take care of I seem to convince myself that it's ok to just be a blob.

Yes it's alright to take a day and just veg. It's alright to relax and rest your body and mind.

However, I still have a list of things that need to be done............such as preparing papers in order to do taxes! That is something that just can't be put off for very long!
I just don't want to do it! I just want to lie around like a big blob of blob and do nothing!
Yet if I do that, lie around all day, then tomorrow when my busy schedule starts all over again I will be kicking my big butt for not getting things done on my "day off" knowing that I will now have to wait until my next chance to get those needed things done.

It's an ongoing cycle that somehow circles around and ends up staring you right in the face.

SO, I will now get up off my big blob butt and do something.

"Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls".

Matthew 11: 29

Lately, whenever I feel the stress of life starting to weigh me down I repeat this verse in my mind and it gives me a sense of peace.

Time to reorganize!

So I went to the office supply store yesterday and bought this handy dandy organizer!

All of these individual boxes & containers are what I WAS using on the table next to my desk. It was a constant mess and confusing.

I can't stand to work in a space that is so unorganized while trying to figure out where I had put things or where I should put things!


Now this is more like it!
EVERYTHING that I had in all of those separate containers is now in the one organizer or in the hanging pockets!

A new Year.....New beginning

Goodness! It's been a long time since I've written anything on here!

You might think that either I've had absolutely nothing to do or that I've been so busy I've had no time.
The latter is more like it.

Seems I'm always busy with life.

I'm busy selling Avon....or trying to.
I'm busy being a homemaker.
I'm busy being a wife.
I'm busy being a grandma.
I'm busy being just whatever each day brings.

There seems to be very little time left over for any little things that I might want to do just for me!

BUT, life is what it is. The grand kids won't be young forever and each time any one of them gives me a hug then I am reminded that all my wishes have been granted.

So this year I am going with the motto "There is always, always, always something to be thankful for".
I am going to be VERY THANKFUL for the MANY BLESSINGS that I have in my life and also try each week to do one tiny little thing that I want to do.....just for me, even if it's just sitting here at this laptop tying some crazy thoughts that go through my old brain!
