a sigh of relief...

for all of you worried about the state of my mental health - i am doing much better & feel much more calm. i haven't had any sort of meltdown to speak of...yet. treat!

the weather is disgusting today, the rain is pouring & it is as dreary as can be. while that is the sad {& wet} truth, a few 'slow down' blessings have been bestowed on me today & i am very grateful. first off, i had my night jam-packed {imagine that}. i was planning on going to a team meeting with my yl friends & hubby right after work but it got cancelled / rescheduled. now don't mistake me, i love my teammates but spontaneous openings in my schedule these days send me singing. next on my list of 'to-do's was to go from store to store collecting all of {or most of} my christmas presents for fam & friends. now that it has been pouring buckets for the last million hours & the weather channel is calling for 90%-95% chance of rain for the next million hours i've decided to stay in for the evening. gosh, that sounds like a dream. i'm grinning as i type. i do love crossing tasks off my list but as much ease as that would grant to have it completed i think its best for me to have a night to relax, rest, be still & be renewed.

while at home tonight i hope to do a few very fun things. i am going to:
1. NAP. yes, that is what i'm going to do with my free time. i am going to snuggle up to my handsome husband & take a nap.
2. drink hot chocolate & eat dinner in.3. work on a very special christmas craft & hope that i don't ruin it or get frustrated. if it turns out i will surely share it {post-christmas}.
4. hang up all my clean laundry.
5. read scripture & do my beth moore.
6. write christmas love notes
7. blog about last nights' christmas party & / or our christmas house decor.
8. pray with my benny & go to sleep.
can i do all that by 10 tonight? that's when i'd like to go to bed so i can awake well rested! we never go to sleep at 10...bliss. wish me luck.

  1. Dear Jen,

    Sounds like a pretty good to-do list! I hope you get it accomplished! What Beth Moore study are you doing?
