New Years Knowledge

I haven't been around... I have been knee deep in sewing, kids, laundry, dishes, drama, cooking and life.


 I do have some new insights for this new year...
--how I decide to feel about an issue can change~ how quickly I learn the lesson
---Learning something with pleasure is nice-- but sometimes it takes learning a lesson with pain, discomfort and drama to know that it was ME that needed the lesson.

----Prayer works, but praying for GOD's will is the prayer that seems to work fastest.  His Time, His Will -- and His path.... trusting in Him fills me with love, grace and gratitude.
Expectations are just that.... expectations. take 'em or leave 'em---
They aren't how things are supposed to be -- they are how we WANT them to be. 

Buying my son his DS was a smart thing, however how do I get him to un-plug from it quickly?

 Teaching my daughter to USE a pattern for things she creates is a challenge, especially when I like to be a rebel myself and not follow patterns.

I am SO very proud of the University of Oregon Ducks,who won the Rose Bowl ! 

 This weekend is our final Christmas Celebration and I am staying focused on having fun, and hearing all comments with patience and grace.

I'm finally 41- and while I'm not super excited - Things are GOOD.-- I may not be the size I wish to be... I may not have the size bank account  I would like... but I am finding I am less childish in dealing with drama-- I am learning that I don't have to let other peoples' stuff... affect how I want to feel.  And I love being married, to my husband who is getting better each year at this marriage thing! :)

May your New Year bring you good things, good lessons and happy memories!
