Catching Up

I'm still in purge mode. I've discovered that it's harder for me to get rid of older things. Things like my old "biker drug lord" boots that I bought for myself in high school. I don't wear them, they don't match anything I still wear, and they are not practical in Florida's hot weather...but still they sit in my closet neglecting less fortunate boot wearing people. *sigh.

I updated my mormon.org profile. As I went on to add some thoughts, I learned some things about me that I had forgotten. Funny how that works. Use it or lose it I suppose. Glad I check up on myself on occasion. http://mormon.org/me/490K

I'm finally ready to join the gym, but I was supposed to do that last week. I wonder how many weeks will pass before it actually happens...

I have been focusing on my flat surfaces in our home. Some would call them "hot spots." I have, in the past, just swept everything on our big counter into the garbage. I am ready to do it again. I think if I keep it up then people might stop putting their things there. I currently have nine permanent and two temporary "hot spots."

I have great plans. In the quieter moments so many things just make sense. It's not that I am super woman, it's just that I expect to be able to accomplish all my designs. Especially the good ones!

I want my garden to produce food not weeds. Or..both!

I still have nodules on my vocal chords. I had to whisper that last part. ;)   I have great plans to get rid of those too.....maybe after I join the gym. Ha!

I am SO thankful for Heavenly Father's love for his children! And I'm glad to know that I am one of His children and that He listens to me. Knowing that He has perfect love for me helps me realize that He truly wants me to be happy. He wants to bless me. I have thought recently, "How does it make sense for me to even try to fulfill all my responsibilities without His help?"

The Savior said,

(Matthew 11:28-30)
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

For peace at home...prayer and scripture study.
