The Tortoise and the Hare (Disney 1934)




SNOW OUTSIDE covers all.  The heater is keeping us warm.  Thankful it's working well.  Thankful.  Today, I am much better health wise.  Asthmatic coughing occasionally.  Energy level a tad bit better.  A cold can plow over some people.  I have become one of those people.  This WINTER has been challenging.  


I should cut out paper snowflakes to display in the windows dangling about.  Simple pleasure to lift my spirits.  Instead, I am thumbing through magazines that were hidden away in a computer bag.  The plastic cover still unopened.  Easter from Martha Stewart's LIVING and Taste of Home's April/May issue.  I never missed looking at these last Spring.  Too busy or what?  Maybe looking at SPRING ISSUES will get me excited that SPRING is one day closer.  

"Come along children.  We must not doddle.  Keep busy.  Keep moving."  These words echo in my mind.  I remember school when I was a child.  We had to stay busy each school day even when the weather was awful.  Busy.  Busy.  Busy.  Motion in action.  Motion in motion.  

Indoor's SPORTS is furniture shuffling.  Deep cleaning and rearranging rooms.  I am truly what one would call S.L.O.W.  Sloooooooooow.  Oh so slow.  

The Tortoise and the Hare comes to mind.  Steady is the course.  Finish strong.  I'd rather be energetic like the hare.  Reliable like the tortoise.  Truthfully, Toby, the Tortoise is focussed and determined to finish the race.  Perhaps being a TOBY is the better way to be.  

Can we have it both ways?  I watched this 1934 short film.  Put a huge smile on my face.  Warmed my ambition.  Back to it and soon the rooms will be rearranged and I will be able to admire the rooms.  Lord willing.  

I am pleased with the new Master Bedroom arrangement adding the Tall Boy and taking away the Pencil Desk.  Filling the Tall Boy with my articles and giving my Hubby more drawer space in the dresser seems more functional.  Glad it is done.  

Great week.  Got to feeling better after 6 weeks of being ill.  Caught up on laundry.  Rearranged the Master Bedroom.  Deep cleaning the bedrooms this Winter.  Started on rearranging the two other bedrooms.  The week-end cometh.  I so hope all the bedrooms are finished by Sunday night and the fridge totally cleaned out.  This would make me pleasantly happy this Winter.  

✔A big check off my 'THINGS TO DO LIST.'  Leaving room for more to do before FEBRUARY arrives.  Deep cleaning the main bathroom during February.  The Bathroom is falloff tile that needs scrubbed.  The Bedrooms in January.

JANUARY: Deep Clean the Bedrooms and rearrange rooms.
FEBRUARY: Deep Clean the Bathrooms.
Spare room worked in. 
MARCH: Spare room.
Stop there.


Blessings,

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.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
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
