Credit Card Crunch




GREETINGS FROM KANSAS!
Tis a very grey day outside as I sit in the comfort of my HOME typing on the computer.  We did not get the nasty weather predicted over the week-end.  That's a BLESSING.  Still Hubby shuffled a place to park the car in the garage last week.  That's a good thing.

Right about now I am sipping some ORGANIC COFFEE and enjoying silence in the house.  My week is off to a pleasant start.  My knee seems a little better which makes me thankful.  Praying it continues to improve.  RICE therapy is working.
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevate

Walking will begin after I am a tad bit better.  Making plans to move my treadmill to a better location so I can walk when I want day or night...rain, snow, sunshine.





Will be getting me some better tennis shoes that have a arch in them.  Having to pace myself spending money as I have bills to pay which takes a huge chunk out of the paycheck.  HUGE.  We have whittled down the credit cards to just having one from NOT GONNA SAY as it is an embarrassment.  Just know that it has been an uphill battle to accomplish this horrific task. 

HORRIFIC.



NEVER AGAIN comes out of my mouth as I have made a vow and a promise to do away with these pieces of plastic 
f o r e v a h.  
Medicals bills, car parts, house improvements, relocating, this and that, etc.  got in the way of not using.  It would have been better to NOT USE THEM...but we were in a tight spot...AGAIN.   



A more excellent way is to not use credit cards.  PERIOD.  

A BETTER WAY...I decided to DO WITHOUT, SAVE, BUY THRIFT, PAY CASH.  When avoiding USING credit cards....there is a more excellent way.  Don't use the plastic.  Don't do it.

I literally cried when we paid off the latest credit card balance.  Should have been rejoicing instead, but the weight of having been under this bondage for so long took a toll.  CRIED.  Breathing easier with this weight off the obligations list.





Just one more to go to pay off.  Let's KEEP IT THIS WAY.....
and it will take some time to cross that river.


Today, I will be up in the office shuffling through paperwork.  Hair needs a good wash.  Almost completely caught up with the laundry.  Will deep clean the upstairs bathroom, go another round of polishing the family room french door window panes, raking out one of the big flowerbeds, etc. 

God bless.
HOME life is for me,
d

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.”

through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

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
