Take time to stop and smell the roses!

I have been running 100 miles an hour (well, at least I ran 13.1 miles in under 3 hours at the recent Louisville Sports Authority half marathon, my first!) and now it is time to SLOW down.  Hard to do with the holidays approaching--so it will take some planning on my part!

Here is my plan to keep me grounded:

Start each day with some quiet time and devotional reading
Add a little exercise
Prioritize my TO DO List (Must do Today, should do this week, Can wait) and try to get at least all of the MUST dos DONE!
Spend meaningful time with DH and DDs
End each day with a little quiet time
SAY NO!

Honor a Veteran

Friday, November 11th is Veterans Day.  Take a moment and give thanks for all the freedoms we take for granted, remember the sacrifice of those who have defended our country, pray for our nation and its leaders.

2012 Goals

I mentioned that it was time to begin planning our goals for 2012 and got a look of pure terror back from my husband.  He is a procrastinator and I tend need plenty of time to plan...so, since we need to do some major things like replace windows, I thought I'd better work on getting him on board now.

We'll actually commit our goals to paper around New Years... but id doesn't hurt to start theprocess now!

Take a Drive

There are still leaves on the trees in my area so I am taking a drive to enjoy the autumn beauty before it is too late!
