| TURNING 3 TODAY!!! |
TODAY, my youngest grandson turns 3. PARTY TO FOLLOW. I have Junior's gift wrapped ready to go in red gift wrap paper with white polka-dots. Gotta find the ribbon to tie about the box so it looks nice. 🎁 I've written out his card and filled it with $2 bills. 💵 I like giving the grandchildren $2 bills for their birthdays. Fortunately, I had saved some just for this occasion. My Daddy would have been 98 years old today as well. Thinking about him with peace and love.
TODAY ARRIVED! 🌞The sun came up and I woke around 8 which is later than I have been waking up. The room was lite with sunshine with no alarm set this morning. Lately, we have been on the go getting up early to fulfill our obligations. TODAY, we are blessed to have a slow start with no demands. Blessed. Given time to talk sharing our thoughts about what needs to happen today.
👚A load of laundry went into the machine. The washing machine is my 🤖ROBOT that I adore having around. Maybe I should call my washing machine Rosie and the dryer Hazel. I haven't managed to train or program Rosie and Hazel to fold and hang items then put away. I have to do this part. grins. I can pray over the clothing articles while I work. Lord, Please Bless us. Thank you.
🏚 Insurance business was taken care of about roof repairs.

👟I must go for my walk around 1 this afternoon.
😠Do you ever get worked up about what needs to be taken care of and get hyper in your soul? I do. Take a deep breath and exhale. Life goes on and so must I, but I don't care to be all worked up which causes high blood pressure amongst other issues. Stay calm so as to not add anymore tension to an already tense situation. amen.
SO HOW DO YOU RELAX WITH MUCH TO DO so your blood pressure doesn't soar out of range? Suggestions?
Breathe and pray. Pace yo' self. Be realistic and don't try to do too much. Walk and talk. Stay hydrated. Do something that takes your mind off of the chaos. Journal. Listen to music. Watch an old flick. Sew. Go for a drive. Call someone. Clean house. Work a bit then sit. Work a bit then sit. Work a bit then sit. Etc.
Some thrive on chaos. I don't. My Husband does and it causes conflict between the two of us at times. 💣Home Harmony disappears. I have to keep my distance from him at times. 👴👵 My adrenaline only goes so far. I'm better off planning, pacing and playing.
A WISE woman once told me, "Honey, be pleasant and good things will follow. Pray, plan and persevere." 💑 She knew her stuff.
GET DRESSED IN THE MORNINGS. MAKE YOUR BED. MAKE PLANS FOR THE DAY AND BE PLEASANT ABOUT IT.
THE 6 P's: Be pleasant, pray, plan and persevere. Pace yourself and don't forget to play some.
Hubby has plans to get back on the shuffling of the cellar and garage. Lord help him be successful with this endeavor without injury. A glass bowl fell off the counter landing on his foot which caused intense pain as he let out a yelp. Today, one of the toes is bruised with tints of dark purple hues coloring the flesh indicating injury. About a year ago, he injured his right foot that has caused lots of commotion during the year. So having a bowl injure the other foot was not a welcomed thing. He's walking on it. That's a bonus.
I'll relax and get done what I can pacing myself and enjoying a cup of tea all by myself. Dear God, Bless us and keep us safe. Let us be in good spirits and health. Help us prosper. Let us be a blessing to others. In Jesus name, AMEN!
