I Am Currently....

Reading:  An Unseen Angel,  by Alissa Parker.  It is her story of life after losing her daughter, Emilie, in the Sandy Hook shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.  Before that I read The First Phone Call From Heaven by Mitch Albom.  Both are must reads!

Checking:  Things off my to-do list today. 

Kitchen cleaned. 

I went to the store and steam cleaned the office floor. 

Willow and I went for a short walk.

Laundry is done. 

Dusting is done.

Celebrating:  Mother's Day with a new garage door opener.  It's not your traditional gift, but we thought it would be awesome to be able to get the cars in and out of the garage when needed.  After 13 years it joined the microwave in bidding adieu.

This joins our nontraditional Easter a few years ago when we got a new dryer.

Hearing:  Commercials that tell us we can  have that beach body by summer.  I definitely need to make better food choices, but I pray we all are reminded constantly that we are beautiful just as we are - flaws included.  We could chase perfection forever and still not be happy with the way we are.  Life is too short for that.

Smelling:  Pizza.  Life is good!

Working:  On orders for the store.  We are expanding several areas and I can't wait for the work to be done and new products to be received and out!  Just when we think we have the store where we want it, we come up with other ideas on how to make use of every bit of space. 

Wondering: How to spend $1000.  One of our grandsons, Mason, (now 6), gave me a card for Mother's Day and the back is worth $1000.  He kept asking how I was going to spend it.  I told him we do need a new microwave.  Now just to convince the appliance store to accept that method of payment. 

Feeling: Blessed to have had phone calls, dinner, and visits with all of our kids.  I couldn't ask for a better Mother's Day than to simply be loved.
