Life is a Special Occasion!
Hallmark
Today is Organize Your Home Day, the perfect chance to quit making excuses for one day, get down to business and get your home back into shape! Put everything else aside for a few hours and get to task on all those little niggling things and DIY jobs that have been begging to be finished for months now.
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
He who does not get fun and enjoyment out of every day... needs to reorganize his life.
George M. Adams
I can remember an old saying that said there’s a place for everything and everything in its place, meaning that everything should have a place to be stored and that it should be tidily returned there when you are finished with it. It’s a good rule of thumb to follow. I’ve learned to put things in a certain place so that I’ll know where to find it. But my home is much like my like my life. It’s unorganized but comfortable.
I’ve learned to be flexible and go with the flow. I do make plans and try to get things done, but that is not always possible. I’m not making excuses, but it is what it is. To make things easier on myself…I’ve learned to take things slow and easy. If and when things get done, that’s a bonus as far as I’m concerned.
With a high of 16 degrees yesterday we’re to be warming up into the upper 30’s today. It will seem like a heat wave and we may just get some rain instead of snow tomorrow. But never fear it is still January and the snow is supposed to return the day after. Another Arctic Blast is coming our way.
Surely but slowly, I’m adding a touch of Spring to the decor here at my house and that is what the pictures are of today.
Keep warm and cozy!
I hope you all have a GREAT day. Happy Thursday !
COUNTING MY GIFTS
Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up.
A. A. Milne
Counting at least 3 things every day that I'm thankful for. There is truly is always something to be thankful for.
3496. for my calendar that helps to keep me on track
3497. for life in the slow lane
3498. for a warmer day
Enter into His courts with thanksgiving — and in His presence is fullness of Joy!
PRAYER FOR OUR TROOPS
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Almighty and eternal God,
Protect our military
as they discharge their duties
with the shield of your strength,
may the power of your love
enable them to return home in safety
that with all who love them
they may ever praise you for your loving care.
AND bless our Police Officers, Firefighters
and Paramedics and EMT’s
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
GOD BLESS YOU ALL !
ADVICE FOR TODAY
The trouble with organizing a thing is that pretty soon folks get to paying more attention to the organization than to what they're organized for.
Laura Ingalls Wilder
A little smile, a word of cheer,
A bit of love from someone dear…
Love,

Its good to organize at one's pace; seems like you got a good system going, Ma; go with the flow, probably less stress that way. Good also with the decorations for spring; good reminder that soon it will be here with warmer weather :)

I like those touches of spring. Helps a person bear the winter.
I have been working on organizing/spring cleaning all week!
I like that "organize your home" day! For me it's a case of "organize your room"! There's a lot of Christmas decorations, cards, etc--that seem to be seeking some organization. I did do some organization of my office over the Christmas holidays but still much to be done!
