What effort?

Here's what I am thinking about this morning: when tempted to do something I shouldn't or to break a habit that I don't like in myself, how hard do I fight, really? Do I struggle and struggle and sweat and pace and, finally, am overcome? Or do I think about it, and give in without much of a fight?

When I make a list of the things that make me unhappy or that I would like to change about my life, and then divide that list between what I have control over and what I don't, there is actually a lot that is in my control. Focus on those, trust God with the rest.

Could it be that a happier existence is just a decision away?

Working a plan

I'm busy this week working a new plan. I've been feeling restless for a bit and am really ready for something new and fresh, something that gives me the opportunity to express where I am creatively today. Stay tuned for news on this front.....

Sorry to be so cryptic. Lots of changes going on right now and Rick & I have declared the month of March to be decision month. We think we'll know answers on 3/31 that we don't know today. Regardless of what those answers are, blessed be His Name.

I'll have my camera out next week and will populate this blog with some color & images. My good sister-by-choice (sbc) Heather is inspiring me and, hopefully, helping me to join the blogosphere.

More later....

Getting Started

Okay, I guess I'm the very last person on the planet to start a blog. I'll give it shot and if I find I spend too much time nursing this thing OR not enough time and it goes stale, well, I'll just have to shut her down......

When I was a kid in Texas, I used to hear the adults around me joke around and say "I'm not sick, I'm too mean to get sick." Well, I guess I'm NOT too mean to get sick!

Despite all my intentions to reply to all of your kind blog posts, a wicked cold has done me in for about a week! So I'll reply to you all by saying "thank you" for your kind words! I see I'm not the only fan of flowers, doors, BIRDS, Wendy Vecchi, Tim Holtz, Distress Inks & Paints, and especially the Paint Marbling technique.

I want to wish all of you the very best of luck in winning our first CC3C prizes and encourage you to play again on Saturday and in all of the challenges. There is a kind of Fort Knox of prizes you might as well win some!

Good luck!!
