Some days you can just run out of steam!
Also, I can truly say that some women just seem to have so much energy;
Compared to me at least...
But A long time ago I had to learn to resolve the issue of thinking;
Why can't I do more?
But truly once I realized that the strength I have been given each day,
Is something I need to use wisely!
Learning to relax and enjoy the day as it sometimes just rolls out!
I like to start each new day with a cup of tea or coffee and Read the Word!
I enjoy writing in my journal so I always write something daily!
Even as I have gotten older I am even reading some scripture
Before I go to bed in the evenings.
If you can do only one thing each day; make it count!
Baking or cooking yields high dividends.
Once again it is summer here; and so I will use my crock pot!
If I am going to bake I always do that very early in the morning!
When its winter time its no big deal to turn on the oven and heat up the house
and fill it with an aroma of freshly beaked bread or cookies.
Wisdom to know what you can and can not do is very important!
I am not saying we should never push ourselves;
But not straining that causes discomfort and unable to do your
housework or things you love the next day!
I always like to treat myself with some rich and delicious chocolate!
Keeping a little stash of the sweet stuff works well for my needs!
I no longer want to spend my energy complain about what I can't do and just
Enjoy each portion that I can do!
When you walk into your home after being gone all day,
Can you just feel and sense that this place is called Home
Because your heart is there?
Make each day a day of rejoicing!
Give Thanks!
Don't be robbed of the pleasures of each day given to you!
Love your Home and it will bring you comfort and Joy...
Happy Day,
Always Love, Roxy
Lovely words Roxy. Hope you are feeling well.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post. For some reason I couldn't sleep last night until after 2:30 a.m. Morning came much too soon with a doctor appointment for me this morning and a vet appointment for the cat this afternoon. I'm exhausted. So instead of sewing as I had planned for the day, I will rest more and hopefully sleep better tonight.
ReplyDeleteLast night we had friends over for dinner. Both the husband and wife work outside the home and I knew she had been working long days. I told her to pack comfy clothes and change when she got here. I had dinner ready when my husband and both of them arrived from work. Simple food. As you suggested, I boiled eggs and potatoes early in the day for potato salad and deviled eggs. A simple green salad and pork chops on the grill kept the house nice and cool. I set up the table on the patio and we had a lovely relaxing meal with apple pie and ice cream for dessert. She said it was so wonderful not to have to worry about cooking dinner after work. And I had fun too! I've missed doing things like that since my back has been so bad. I'm hopeful this will continue.
I love homemaking and having others over to dinner.
Have a wonderful day Roxy.
Blessings,
Betsy
I am trying to do just that each day Roxy. I used get myself all stressed out and everyone else when I was running around like crazy trying to get the house to look just so. I now take my time and get one main thing accomplished on my list. I love this post and I have to remember to slow down as everything eventually gets done. I do hope that you are feeling better and have a speedy recovery.
