Just for today, I will set my affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

Just for today, I will not worry about what will happen tomorrow, but will trust that God will go before me into the unknown.

Just for today, I will endure anything that hurts or depresses me because believe God controls what happens to me.

Just for today, Iwill not dwell on my misfortunes. I will replace my negative thoughts with happy and hopeful thoughts.Just for today, I will choose to do some things I do not like doing, and I will do them cheerfully and with a happy spirit.

Just for today, I will make a conscious effort to love those who don't show love to me and be kind to those who do not appreciate me.

Just for today, I will be patient with those who irritate me and long suffering toward those who are selfish and inconsiderate.

Just for today, I will forgive all those who hurt me, and even forgive myself.Just for today, I will choose to be happy.

Check out these CVS deals! My daughter, Beth, and I went to CVS today with manufactures coupons and the CVS coupons. We did quite well with our purchases.

It is worth looking into if you have never used coupons or tried to accumulated extra store bucks.

Bring out the artist within you! If you would like to draw and have not had any education in drawing, you might want to check out this site. It is a simple site, but it does provide the simple education that would benefit a beginner.



Drawing and doodling are great past times. Drawing is so much fun and it is neat to see what you come up with. Who knows you might become a great artist!

Organization Tip...



Once again as we work on improving our lives we think of organization. Take time to work on making more time to spend with your family. This might take a little organization in your schedule by taking on less work or volunteer projects and just learning to say "no" when there is a greater need to spend time with the family.


Projects and jobs will always be there but, family will not.

"The Lord watches over the way of the righteous." Psalm 1:6

I thought that this was a good scriptural message to memorize for the New Year. Christians should do good business, be kind and honest in all their dealings. The Lord will be with us.

Garden Catalogs



Well, you can sure tell that a New Year is here because the garden catalogs are coming in the mail. I always look forward to this. You can almost count on the arrival of the garden catalogs like clock work right after Christmas, but you know, they are welcome.
