Thoughts on lists

I love lists. It's kind of therapeutic for me to write a list of things I want to get done and need to get done. I can clear my mind before bed or just before relaxing. It also helps me to remember. I have something known as mommy brain sometimes.

This past year I've been so full of emotions. Gratitude for health. Family. Friends. God. Home. Faith. Church. Neighbors. Charitable Husband. Daughter. Son. Food. Being able to taste food. Not throwing up more than once or twice in a year. Miracles.

In spite of having sick kids. I've slowly been getting projects done that have been in boxes for years. I have a box going to the Christmas Box. It's has clothes, toys, hygiene supplies. I love knowing that some kids will be so happy to have something of their own. I have other piles of things to be wrapped. We've hung up more pictures. Life can often times be overwhelming. So much to do, so little time. So many people to help, not enough energy to take care of my kids or myself. There's a scripture that says by small and simple things great things come to pass. (Not an exact quote). I love this, because I see it in everyday life. If we do a little bit everyday our piles will disappear. Our challenges don't seem as big and life is great.

I finally added pictures to the side of my blog. I've been wanting to do it forever. They aren't the best. But they are there and gives me more motivation to go organize my pictures and find the ones I really want on there. I also gave it some festive colors. I do love red. Enjoy.
