I cannot measure my life by the many hours I have wasted doing frivolous things. I can only hope the good and important outweighs the less important things that I seem to always find to do. (Love-love-love the PBS Jane Austen movie series of late)

There is so much I want to do:
  • I love to read and came home with a stack of books from my book group the other night that I want to read. So much to read - I have to make light reading second in relation to other reading that is urgent and necessary!!! I have books on my mp3, sitting by my bed, on the desk. (By the way you might want to read Princess Academy, Austenland - by Shannon Hale. If you want to be mightily inspired, read Three Cups of Tea - Greg Mortenson.)
  • I want to get more instruction using my Photoshop program - It's not easy to pick up on one's own - at least in this writer's case. I'm looking into classes but they aren't cheap.

  • I want to get more organized. I love organization and tools that help.

  • I need to continue reviewing my emergency response material, food storage and work more on organizing my neighborhood's emergency plans, i.e. CERT, Block Captains, survival supplies, etc.

  • Practice the organ more. My teacher is going to lose patience with me if I miss one more lesson because I wasn't prepared so canceled.

  • Spend time with my babies (I've got to quit calling them that - I've got two grandchildren that are now in the 2's.) Maybe they'll always be my babies - my sons are!!!!!

  • Talk with old friends more!!!!!

  • Cook more????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JIm would be overjoyed. I'm really into healthy foods, antioxidants, organic stuff. Weird, huh! (The problem is that it is in addition to the unhealthy stuff - you know, sugar, prepared foods, etc.)

There is much more that I need to add to this list but can't right now. Same ol' "TIME" problem. But I'm going to work through it this year. Count on it ! - well, maybe!

Molly's Blessing Day


I have been searching for the memory card that had little Molly's blessing Day picture and finally found it. It was a special day for a very precious little girl and wonderful blessings were pronounced upon her by her father. Molly Beane is such a sweet-natured little thing and is always happy and smiling. Her middle name comes from her mommy's nickname that Jonathan came up with quite a while ago. It is cute and has sweet meaning. Here's the pic with her daddy holding her. Isn't she a doll, a Molly Dolly, as we like to call her?
