Smelling the Flowers



OK, enough of the doom and glum around here. Its time to stop and smell the roses. One of the things Marc and I have been talking about is all of the projects around here that need to be done. We put a lot of stuff on the back burner including a couple of things we purchased years ago so that we could entertain more. One of which is a gazebo for our back yard, and a swing for two that was suppose to go up in the front yard. If you could see our yard right now you would know we have way more work to do to get to that point including a few limbs that have been down and could use some immediate attention.

Inside we have some painting that needs to be done, not to mention years of clutter that has accumulated during our many years of focusing on the church.

Its been forever since we had friends over. Or even took the time to enjoy our front porch. Had dinner in our diningroom. Starting to get the picture? Well that's about to change. I figure if I write all of this down then it might help me with that balance thing I am working on.

I'm also going to get back to this. I have missed it. Did not realize how much of my creative side was being squashed until I almost let it go.

I'm also going to be traveling a lot this year. Marc and I have not taken a vacation together since 2006! That's about to change thanks to a gift from some really special family members. Add in a cruise with my mom, a trip to DC to meet up with some great girlfriends, and the Women of Faith Conference. Well less just say I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself!

My mom is about to make some drastic changes in her life and I intend to be there to help her out. I love the ministry work we do (yes, even now when it seems difficult) but for the last five years (probably even more) "life" has been left to chance. All of that is about to change. Its time to stop and smell the flowers!
