IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!


TIS MY 69th Birthday.  Wowzer.  How did this happen?  This is a golden opportunity to start anew anything I do and think.  Not sure how I will celebrate.  

May just have a very quiet day at HOME.  

I THINK I WILL,

Happy Birthday Deanna 🎈🎂!

Just an FYI ~ for my emotional health, I’m taking a break from the web. I’m going through some menopausal issues and with my older sister (all coincidence!) have begun journey on slow living.

Hubs keeps me up on news.

My body has calmed already on day 2, and I just wanted you to know 🙂

Have a wonderful birthday!! God bless you!

Dear Mrs. E. and Mrs White, Thank you for the well wishes. I truly appreciate your kindness.
Mrs. E., There are times I have to tune out from the media completely. I understand that we have to take care of ourselves the best we can. I truly hope you get to feeling better soon. Prayers. ~d

Hello Deanna,

Yes, I'm feeling better.

I also wanted to let you know, there is something called "slow living" which, after reading and seeing some You Tube channels, I've decided to give it a go. For me, I can't do things 'partially'; but have felt for a number of years the Lord calling me to 'be still' in a way I'd not been truly able to do. I've recently "done" a day here and there, and it was very calming and refreshing.

My dear husband can and has agreed to filling me in on important news re: all things. He's a very calm soul: always has been. But he can be tuned into alot of things going on.

I thought I should let you know; it'll be at least 3 months; if anything, it may be the 'screens' which also includes the flat screen. Oh, it's not that I'm afraid of news; quite the opposite. However, slow living is like we had it as children. Outside. Other than our housework, reading a favorite book. So I'm not shutting out the world - I'm just hanging blinds in the window LOL. And mostly they're open slightly.

Putting my bible time (always with coffee!!) FIRST! Then puttering about. I'm up a couple hours before my husband.

He's noticed a happier countenance on my face. Secret: it's from within :-)

This works for me in so many areas positively.

It's time for me to "rest".

God bless you.

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."

“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
