Organizing

It's January. When we all think of organizing.

Here's my To Do folder for photo's. Each of the folders inside of it have at least 100+ photo's to be sorted through and put in a better location.

I think it's about time I start to tackle it. Lol!

Enjoy the moment...

Another week in the books... and it's the weekend again. Time to recharge the batteries (even with a short school/work week we wound up drained by today) and gear up for next week. I've got five little girls running around the house (two of my own and three friends) and another little girl over at a friends house this afternoon.  I love hearing their squeals of laughter as they have fun.

So my thought today is to just make the time to have fun... the girls only had an hour we could get them all together to play for, but for that one hour they are having so much fun... and I need to remember to just take the short amounts of time and enjoy them. :)

Project this week

Here is my project this week. It's time for some new chair class signs in primary.

Rewards

I've been working on loosing weight. Both by being more active, and eating better. To help me stay motivated I gave myself rewards for each 5 pounds lost. It's going slowly, but the scale is going down. Today I was able to get one of my rewards. My nails done. :).

A Good Quote

I was reading through some blogs the other day and came across this quote:

“Keep perspective. When you have done all that you can reasonably do, rest the burden in the hands of the Lord. When I take a small pebble and place it directly in front of my eye, it takes on the appearance of a mighty boulder. It is all I can see. It becomes all-consuming—like the problems of a loved one that affect our lives every waking moment. When the things you realistically can do to help are done, leave the matter in the hands of the Lord and worry no more. Do not feel guilty because you cannot do more. Do not waste your energy on useless worry. The Lord will take the pebble that fills your vision and cast it down among the challenges you will face in your eternal progress. It will then be seen in perspective. In time, you will feel impressions and know how to give further help. You will find more peace and happiness, will not neglect others that need you, and will be able to give greater help because of that eternal perspective.” -Richard G. Scott (1988)

I'm a worrier by nature.  I recently accepted a rather large calling at church and found that I was starting to worry about things for it- and feel out of touch with my kids and family.  I'm realizing that I focus in on problems of others whether large or small and make them larger than they are in my mind and let them take over a disproportionate amount of my thought time... So this is a good reminder to me to do what I can, but not stress and worry over the problems.  They will be worked out in time and I can do what I can, and leave the rest in the Lord's hands.

Picture or post a day

I see lots of people doing pictures a day... I'm going to tray and do a post a day- whether it's a picture or just a written post.

Here's the picture for today. It's what you expect to see weather this time of year. We are warmer than usual and I just want this weather so I can bundle up in warm clothes, turn on the fireplace and read a book with a mug of hot cocoa. :)
