Snippets

I so want to be a good blogger.  I really do,  in fact oftentimes while I am showering or putting the baby to bed I will have a stroke of brilliance and think to myself "I am going to blog on that" but then life happens and I sit down at my computer and have two million other things to do,  like facebook.  So in the spirit of improving my  blogging I am going to to try to post something at least everyday.  Wish me luck.  But today you get a list of my random thoughts this morning.

  • We are starting a bible study series on Ruth tonight.  I am interested and I won't lie, Ruth has never been my favorite book of the Bible.  Maybe because I have always had it taught from the "how to catch a man God's way" angle. Prayerful that this study teaches me something and allows me to see the book in a new light.
  • I had a friend who was very angry at me last year apologize today.  I am surprised,  I thought that I would feel vindicated, instead I felt sad to revisit the hurt and I was quick to apologize for the hurt I caused her.  Maybe I am growing up.....a little.
  • I am taking time to be kinder to myself these days.  A special friend pointed out some good things that I am doing for LL.  I am try to rest in her words and not stress about the things that go undone.
  • Speaking of undone.  Could I be any more behind right now?   I have a to do list and I am checking it off and adding to it faster than I can turn around.  Instead of stressing out,  I am trying to stop every evening and give myself credit for what I do accomplish. 
  • Even though I am behind I am trying very hard to take time to create. I want LL to know what its like to make something that bring happiness.  Even if its just getting dinner on the table,  I am trying to look at it as a time to bring some love and loveliness to my family.
  • We went to the park yesterday.  LL loves to slide.  I am sore today from how many times I lifted her into the slide.
Maybe tomorrow's post will be less boring.
