Hello Dear Friend.
Later this Summer when Lil Miss starts school,
I'm praying for more FREE TIME to clean my house
in a leisurely manner, decorate my HOME by laying my hands on what needs done,
catch up on filing important papers, exercising by walking the neighborhood, joining a Coffee Clutch,
BLOOMING where I've been planted in my little corner of the world, downsizing the garage, reading my Bible outloud early in the morning, sewing some, THINKING about being a BETTER HELP MEET to my Husband
and spending time in prayer in the quiet of my home.
When I started BLOGGING I thought I would share about LIFE inside HOME HAVEN also pen extraordinary posts about
CURRENT EVENTS, MORAL ISSUES, LIFE, LIBERTY and THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS from a Christian's point of view.
I was overly confident that I would be able to do this
CURRENT EVENTS, MORAL ISSUES, LIFE, LIBERTY and THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS from a Christian's point of view.
I was overly confident that I would be able to do this
and persuade others to believe themselves
into a closer walk with the Lord
or be introduced to Him in a loving way.
The nerve.
As time passed and I was having to jot a post here and there when I could while babysitting.....
I was awakened to reality at this time that I just couldn't get into
DEEP THOUGHT while a overly active TODDLER was scouring about the room.
I was ignorant at how to BLOG and TEND to a young child at the same time. LEARNED.
Habitual interruptions and necessary task came first.
I hung up my good intentions and said good-bye to being a serious writer......thought it best to stay light hearted and keep it simple.
So with that in mind, I started to BLOG with a different approach. I'd get frustrated at times learning the ends and outs of a computer. I'm still no expert, but have come a good distance from when I started out almost 4 years ago.
I am boggled that it has been almost 4 years. Still, interruptions are a constant and I'm not very good at staying focused at writing and posting pictures when I am in conversation with Lil Miss. She is a very active child and that's the way it is. I have to pace myself everyday no matter what is on the schedule. My best intentions are often misplaced in the piles of toys and coloring books.
It has been for the BEST to postpone serious writing while engaged in being a GRANNY NANNY tending to a growing child.
I remember when my children were so young and realized that I don't get this time back. Still have cleaning to do and manners to teach.
There will be time for all the deep cleaning chores later.....keeping it in perspective.....play more often on the floor,

There will be time for all the deep cleaning chores later.....keeping it in perspective.....play more often on the floor,
see the beauty in God's nature and spend time in a slower pace. Sing more songs and have Family Time together walking, talking and eating meals around the Family Table in the evening. Teaching them right from wrong, praying Bedtime Prayers and talking things through. NOT RUSHING THROUGH THE DAY. Planning and preparing for plenty of time to get where we're going. Staying awhile.
AND NOT FORGETTING that my husband and I still need DATE NIGHTS
so we don't forget who each other is and that we are each others special someone.

While surfing the internet,
I still enjoy seeing how people decorate their abodes,
research health issues, govern through american politics,
praying through challenges,
visiting historical places
and reading about what catches my eye.
I have been educated in a new way
and introduced to a fresh way of making friends
and staying tuned to what is happening.
It's been really good for my spelling and reading.
I hope to learn some tricks about photography, redoing my header
and perhaps writing some more serious things....can I do this?
Shall see!
Thank you for being my BLOGGING BUDDY and sharing with me moments of your life and letting me hear from you!
You're a peach,
