Just another snowy Friday.

I used to think a hard winter was when it was cold three weeks in a row. By cold I mean 30 degrees. This year it is like we live in the north country. I guess compared to when I was a girl it is the north country. But I have lived in Oklahoma for a very long time and this is only the second time we have had so much white on the ground for so many days running. Okay I will admit it is pretty. But so it the Carribean and you do not have to wear four layers of clothing.

I am working on my website today. Something I have put off for a while. If I can just figure out how to get the font on some of the pages to be any color but yellow I will feel like a total success. Everything else seems to be doable.

So I had better get back to that.

The next thing will be...dare I confess...take down the Christmas tree. I am pretty sure you are labeled as the neighborhood nut if it is still up in March. Maybe it is so cold no one will notice. Maybe they are all inside counting the days until flip flops and scuba gear. I am sooo ready. But for now I look out the office window and see medium sized flakes are still falling.

Out of the Coma

Funny how life can
get
off
track.
I took a sabbatical for several months and am now back in the game of life. I took off from July to December. It was not really intentional. One day turned into two, then a week, then a month and then six months. If I had planned it I would have filled it with activity. I am guessing God must have planned it. A time to refresh, reevaluate and get a handle on how to do all the things I feel compelled to do with out catching the undertow.
I feel refreshed and ready to go.
I have developed some NEW RULES to live by. Everyone knows how much I love rules.
1. Ask God First Act Second
2. Worry more about what God thinks and less what everyone else thinks.
3. Let those people that do not want to be in my life go. Hanging on just makes one crazy and feel like a worthless toad.
4. Be the best I can be under God.
5. Carpe Diem
6. Love others: let God fix them, nag them, reason with them, explain things to them, give them a heart of forgiveness or whatever pleadings performed in the past that haven't worked.
7. Remember what Daddy always told me. He was right 99.995% of the time.
8. Do not second guess my best intentions. Do not be a door mat.
9. Laugh a lot.
10.Love Dan, Eric, Mark, Zack, Ben, Aleksa, Rebecca, Kevin, Jason, and Summer.They are gifts from God that will always hold first place in my heart.
