Do Y'all set goals for yourself?

Do you have a "to do" list of things you want to accomplish?

Do you feel a sense of relief when you're able to mark things off that list?

I find if I don't set a goal for myself, no matter how small, I don't get much done these days.

Old age?

Mind getting bad?

Procrastinator?

All three?

I'm gonna jot down what I hope to get done this week right here for Y'all to see and I know it won't make one never mind to most of you, but I need the accountability, so here goes.....

*Drink my water

*Keep the laundry caught up, folded and put away

*Send get-well cards to a couple of folks at church, texts checking on people, and some "just because" messages

*Take the things I've accumulated from cleaning out to the thrift store

*Keep a check on Mom's sore foot

*Clean out the foyer closet, pantry, and hall bath closets

*Decorate the kitchen shelf for Valentine's Day

*Finish up the crocheted heart banner for the shelf

*Try to eat better this week, meaning less sugary foods - they're not good for my joints

*Use the slow cooker more

(that's for all the time)

*TRY to start on the pile of mending I need to get done

Okay, I'm tired already!

I'm gonna print this list off and put it on the fridge so maybe by Friday, I can see some fruits of my labor!
But, I'll keep in mind this verse of scripture, too.....

HOPE everybody has a Marvelous Monday and a great week!

So, there you go!

We'll be spending time with our grand kiddos today, 

so I'm pretty sure there'll be something to laugh about.....

especially out of Grandboy #3!

Happy Labor Day!

HOPE your Monday is Marvelous!

"There is no need to cling to thoughts that haven't produced joyful fruit in your life. If you want to gain emotional control, first gain mental control. Build a better attitude of mind, one thought at a time. If you try on a new thought and it doesn't work for you, exchange it. 

NOTHING pushes out toxic thoughts like God thoughts!"

Let's put some OOMPH into our Monday!

{ HOPE-filled Monday }

I feel like somebody needs these words of encouragement right now. There are so many struggling through life and trying to make it on their own and y'all, that just ain't gonna work.  You know how I know.....

because I've tried it.

Yes, even as a Christian, I've strayed away and made some lousy decisions that I have to live with.   Whether it was something verbal I said, a deed that  can't be undone, or things that I should have said/done and didn't.....

they still play out in my mind from time to time.

But GOD.....

we heard those words during our pastor's message yesterday morning.

(Ephesians 2:4)

In HIS grace and mercy -

through His sending His Son to die for our sins - 

God continually saves us.  

It's not just a one-time thing. 

It's daily, Y'all!

Continued prayers for all those affected by hurricanes, wildfires, earthquakes, racial warfare, political distrust, difference of opinions and just simply the "storms" of life. Let's lean on each other, pray for one another, and show love.

Serious..... 

And, on a lighter note.....

HOPE everybody has a Marvelous rainy,  cloudy Monday!  

Let's not let our moods match the weather!

(self-talk....;-)
