Early Mornin'

GOSH....how did this happen?  3:37am and i am up.
tried to fall back asleep and couldn't.
soooooo...a shower took place and i washed my hair.
dried my comforter that was still damp in the clothes dryer.
dried some blue jeans that spent the night in the washing machine 
andddddddd...washed the coffee pot to fix a pot of java.
4 scoops to the water in the perk.
today i am fasting before blood work is done to check how i'm doing after switching from synthroid to armour natural desiccated thyroid meds.
took my blood pressure and made me smile.
124 over 84.  For me this is excellent.
i haven't seen this good of blood pressure in years.
thank you God.

i want to get in early so i can leave early and go get a few supplies at the dollar store.  then get back to gathering things to get rid of.

all week i have been gathering things to get rid of and it is overwhelming how much i have gathered.
it makes my head spin.
ashamed at this mess.
thankful on one hand that i can finally thin way out.
thankful.

oh the books, the books...they get so heavy.  
so many of them i collected over the years.
collected and no longer need.  they aren't sacred, but i think maybe i was thinking they were more important than i should.
the clothes go away.
far far away.
dishes not needed and no longer wanted.
what else can go....the yard bench that looks like it's on her last leg, some lawn chairs that we no longer use, some fixer upper bikes, some old dolls that i don't want, craft paint, odds 'n ins, old records now called vinyls, nail polish, make-up, toys, movies, picture frames and prints.....still looking.....etc.

i hear my husband's alarm going off.
time for him to get up and get around for work.
praying he has a terrific and blessed business day.

i know that after my HOME has less clutter that I will perk the heck up.
taking a deep breath and away i go.
will get dressed and groomed, put a little make-up on ready for this day.

the birds are singing loud and clear on this SPRING day.  
they have something to sing about.
so do we.

may you have a blessed day.

busy bee so early in the morn.
i know about those too soon hours
of wakefulness though i'm rarely
as active as you during that time.
instead, you'll for sure find me
drinking coffee (strong!) in the dark,
on the couch with blankies and a certain
fur baby by my side. snoring.
the dog. not me. cuz i'm awake, remember?

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

through

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
