A Little Feel Good Inspiration

DO IT AFRAID!

When God tells you he will be with you, that means no matter what the circumstances, everything will work out all right. That's a good reason to do whatever you are afraid of even though you are afraid --do it afraid!

"No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you. --Joshua 1: 5

I was at the Dr's office the other day for a check up and saw this on a daily desk calender at the secretaries desk. How uplifting. So I asked her for a copy. It's always nice to find some little piece of inspiration to have handy on one of those crazy days. I have been collecting all kinds of wonderful quotes or thoughts and have them posted all around my desk at work.

Haven't been posting very much lately and started to wonder if blogging was for me. But I've been getting back to reading other's blogs and I see I'm not the only one that has been skipping days posting. I guess all the holiday hustle and bustle got to a lot of us. I was also very busy with all the year end bookkeeping for our business and the business my son just opened a few months ago. He has a restaurant-pool hall and it's doing pretty good. Just a down home place for people to relax. Except for me, another business to keep books for. Oh well, I'm happy to see it doing well.

I got to take a day off today. Yea!!!!!!! I did all the basic cleaning I always do and really rushed so I'd have time for myself this afternoon. Made chili in the crock pot so dinner's taken care of.
Got my blocks together from another sit and sew and now just have to put on the border. Then I'll be ready to post a photo. Now I'm gonna relax for about an hour till supper and do some crochet. I' m working on some log cabin squares(joined Log Cabin Fever) and some new and different granny's(so I'll have squares to post at the Granny Along). I've been wanting to try some different styles rather than just the basics like I've done in the past. I'm still working on my ripple-at least 2/3 done -- but I just don't want to work on it all the time. Got to have something new so I can go back and forth between projects. I'm sure I'm not the only one that does that.

Gonna go a crochet for a little while on some squares for new afghans.

Fall colors and a thought provoking quote

Our cypress has finally started to turn to it's fall colors of rust and gold. Two weeks ago she was all green , but now the weather is beginning to turn cooler and so all the trees are beginning to turn beautifully. Another week or so and there will be more color change and then all the strange little leaves (I guess that's what they are) will fall and cover my front yard. And my last lawn care job of the season will take place. I'll rake every thing up and use it like mulch around shrubs, etc. Those little leaves are a little prickly which causes them to stick together. I've been doing this for about 3 years and I have no weeds or anything grow up through these layers.
I reuse whatever I can in my yard. It seems a waste of time and energy to rake and bag and dispose of when it can be used right in my yard.

Now the quote. When I am at my bank in the drive thru I can see through the window to an inside wall where there's a chalk board. I guess there's a different quote each day. Even though I don't go every day there is always a new one to see when I am there. This one especially caught my eye. It's something to think about something to think about.
