Multitude on Mondays

multitudesonmondaysbutton2-142

Today I am sharing my list for “One Thousand Gifts”, it is where you come up with 1000 things that your are thankful for (gifts in your life). It is to help you better recognize just all the little blessings we have each day that we take for granted.

Ann Voskamp has written a book called just that. She also has a lovely and well one-thousand-gifts_thumb3_thumbwritten blog “A Holy Experience” if you aren’t reading you are missing it folks. I love reading her blog, many hours have been spent hours there. And she is the most delightful person to listen too. (No, I haven’t met her personally, but I have watched via vblog her series on the book)

Organizing my mind, Are you?


It is ultimately our thinking, more than our outer circumstances, that determines whether we live lives of harmony and peace or pain and despair.  ---- Marianne Williamson


why meI know what some of you are thinking when you see this title.  Yeah right?  How do we do that?  Not really sure but will tell you that there is a lot of that going on with me at the moment.  Do you ever feel like this young lady.  Always feeling overwhelmed.  Me too.  But I have decided to take action and
put a stop to this feeling.




So you ask how am I achieving this?  I am getting proper sleep, at least 7 hours or so a night.

Sleeping Woman
I’m creating my daily morning To Do list

to-do-list-nothing
One thing I am doing in conjunction is making a ongoing list, projects and future projects, and working toward one project at a time to get them accomplished. Focusing on just 15 minutes a day rule is better than “NO minutes a day”.   I also find that when I start with just 15 minutes I tend to go longer.

I might include things like:
Getting rid of clutter, one room at a time, one drawer at a time


Organize closets
Paint a room/or several rooms

Organize my pantry
ETC….


Planning to start a writing journal.  I purchased one, and so plan to write at least weekly, not daily, not putting that pressure on myself, but think it will help to journal some of what is going on with me.
And who knows it might become a daily habit.
writing journal
Another thing I try to do is keep a gratitude list/journal.  Actually I am keeping a list born out of reading Ann Voskamp book “  One Thousand Gifts”. Usually I post my list on Monday’s when I join in with the Multitudes on Monday with others. (Off topic a bit, but wanted to share that this morning I found a wonderful journal that accompanies this book.  It is now on my Christmas list, take a peek it is wonderful!)

I am also limiting myself with TV and computer time.  Doing pretty good with the TV time, still working on the computer time.  

Isolated Computer
A few other things that I am trying to do as well, as make some time for myself, doing something fun everyday that I enjoy and not feeling guilty about it.  Also get in some physical exercise.  Usually it is walking but now that the weather is turning cooler and cold, not sure what form I will take up.



Also, make time during the day, preferably the morning to spend some time in the word.

Bible front view
So how about you?  How are you doing organizing your mind or are you?

HELPFUL TIP: One tip that has helped me is limiting the amount of negativity in my life, whether it be by family, friends, TV, newspaper, etc.

2 Timothy 3:16-17“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

Don’t fall over

 

 



c
ause I know it’s been A. L.O.N.G. time since I have made a post…..didn’t plan on taking another hiatus but that is exactly what happened. 

missed you

It’s hard for me to believe that it is the middle of August already and not sure about where you are living but here in Maryland our temps have been miserable.  However the last week we have been truly blessed by some wonderful rain and even storms and it has definitely cooled things off. It could stay like this until we run into fall.   Although I really hate the heat being so high, I prefer it over  the frigid cold and really do dread to see the onset of winter. 


Life has been very busy for me this summer, and I  like it when that happens.  We have made several trips this summer, one of which was out to Texas for my stepdaughter’s wedding.  We spent 10 days out there, traveling all over the state.  Oh what fun we had. It’s  was the first time in a long time I wasn’t ready to come back home even in the 108 weather. It was great.

Now back to bizness……

I am so excited, because I finally found her book last week and I purchased it.  WOW!  It is beautiful written, she has such a way with words and the imagery that she conveys is mind boggling to me.  Not sure how she does it, but her talent for writing is impressive to say the least.  Definitely a God-given talent.  I can only digest so much at a given time, so I am reading this book slowly and with intention.  I am trying to savor the nuggets of wisdom written on the pages.

H
appy Monday ya’ll.

It is so good to be back.  Last week, I was under the weather and not feeling all that great.  So it feels wonderful to be up and around doing all my regular Monday chores. Today they don’t feel like chores, they feel like sweet blessings.  After having several days of not feeling well {downright blah} and having no energy…and not being productive an any way, I can’t tell you how good it feels to feel like my old self again and back on track.

On a different note, I have been noticing that a lot of women have been having a lot of trouble with blogger lately, apparently blogger has been having some issues.  Sooooooo I am contemplating moving my blog over to wordpress.  I thought about doing this when I made the last little change, but didn’t but now I’m kinda rethinking my situation.   But it got me to wondering about which platform you all use?  Blogger or  Wordpress.  If you are on Blogger with all the problems there, will you be moving?  Or are you going to stay.  Would love to hear what ya’ll have to say.

I hope your blessed this beautiful Monday.

Multitudes on Monday 5/9/11



H
appy Monday ya’ll.

I hope everyone had a beautiful weekend and a very happy Mother’s Day.  I know that I did.  Saturday was spent catching up on things around here and spending time with my hubby.  We took a long nice walk and even though it was for exercise, I always enjoy that time spent with him.  Saturday kinda flew by in a blur.  On Sunday we headed into church for early service.  I enjoyed the message so much, as our pastor spoke about Mary.  Jesus’  mother, and how she was always in the background of Jesus’ life and HIS ministry and the support she must’ve been for him, just knowing mom was there. 

I try to imagine how Mary must have felt having Jesus as her son.  For me, I know I would have been prideful, even though pride is sin, I wouldn’t be able to contain myself, because I am proud of my own children.  How much more so to be proud of Jesus. 

My children took me to dinner last night, for me, spending time with these young adults is such a blessing and a treat.  I really do cherish the time spent with them, makes me yearn for the days when they were home.  Brings forth lots of heartwarming and enduring thoughts of years past.  Time certainly flies and our children grow up so fast. 

Old adages I have heard all my life come rushing to my mind:


They aren’t this age long, enjoy them while they are at home


They’ll be gone before you know it.
Don’t rush it, enjoy them
You know where they are now
Someday you are going to miss this

digital frame
Did you hear these types of things too?  So much truth is spoken in those words, I guess that is why they are still being spoken to mother’s everywhere, everyday. 

My children gave me a gift that will help me remember all those times of their youth and I don’t think I have ever enjoyed getting a gift more than the one they gave me last night. They presented me with a digital frame.  I can’t wait to get it loaded up with pictures.  Can you guess what I will be working on today?

Let me close my this post by sharing my “One Thousand Gifts” portion.

41.Productive days
42.Little surprises that hubby brings me home
43.Sharing conversation with hubby over coffee in the AM
44.being creative
45.another day
46.being able to stay at home
47.clean laundry
48. surprise visits from my children
49. couponing with my daughter in law
50. ability to learn a new task.



Now that I have my gratitude list done, I will catch you up on the last several days. Somewhere around the middle of the week, my week took on a unexpected turn, instead of having my days all planned and organized I just kinda fell apart.  Not in a bad way, I just couldn’t stay focused.  I HATE when I do that, because I feel like I am wasting time and the wheels are turning but I’m not getting anywhere. 


the-royal-wedding
On Friday, I ended up getting up at 3:00 AM to watch all the “Royal Wedding” hoopla before the main event…so my Friday was spent being a couch potato. Literally, I didn’t get up except for potty breaks, drinks and some lunch.   You don’t know how happy I was  that the weather was cool and rainy because now I have less guilt about just being lazy.  But we all need days weeks like  that right?  After spending all day watching BBCAmerica, I spent the rest of the evening looking up and searching out more wedding frills like what did the cake look like, Kate’s evening dress…which by the way I loved it too.  I even got hubby hooked and he was looking things up and sharing his finds with me.  

In the mid/late 80’s I lived in England for three years, in the Yorkshire Dales about 4 hours from London.  While living there , I became quite enambered with the royal family and the British Monarchy.  (Doesn’t hurt that I’m a history buff"). The Monarchy fascinated me, and still does.  So Friday was a marathon day, just as it was when Diana died. 

Needless to say after getting nothing accomplished Wed-Friday, I had to kick things into high gear around here on Saturday.  Fortunately hubby was on board, so together we tackled lots of little things that we had been putting off and finished. I LOVE IT when that happens.  Plus I got the entire house vacuumed and dusted, changed out seasonal clothes, hubby washed two vehicles, also got in a nice long walk. 



Woke up yesterday morning, wasn’t feeling all that great.  My back was really giving me fits, think it was all the bending and stooping I had done on Saturday, anyhow, it caused us not to make it to church.  Very disappointed we didn’t make it, but I knew I would have difficulty sitting on the hard pews…So I elected to stay home and take a hot bath, of course, hubby didn’t want to waste our day at home so together we tackled sorting through boxes that are still packed from our recent move in December.  Can you say glutton for punishment?


The little community where we are living is having a yard sale towards the end of May and we are debating on clearing out some more of our belongings.  We really need to, it’s simply amazing me and boggles my mind how much junk treasures one acquires.  Most likely will be sifting through boxes a day at a time, and maybe can come up with some things to sell.

Gonna get going for now, can’t afford another week like last week…so need to start on my Monday.  How bout you?  What ya got going on today?

1 John 5:14-15“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.”
