WORD FOR 2017: STEWARDSHIP
As always, I'm hoping that the coming month will be more productive. I'm optimistic that it will be!
I think you did well. I suspect that you took care of the most important matters.
ReplyDeleteWell, thank you very much, Sandy, for the sweet encouragement! I appreciate it so much!
DeleteAmen to Sandy's comment. You're running circles around me. 🏃🏻♀️ I like this week's Flylady mission...wish weather would cooperate. ☔️
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Vee! I'm not accomplishing all that I would like to (obviously) but am thankful for what is getting done.
DeleteWe shop-vacced our porch on Saturday, so got a head start on that mission. Still more work to do out there, though. The weather does sound sort of yucky, doesn't it, for this week?
I try to drink a lot of water as well. I fill up a big cup with a lid on it at the beginning of the day and try to drink one in the am and one before supper. It really makes a difference.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very good suggestion, Arlene. I should try that and be faithful with it. Thanks for the idea!
DeleteNice to read your blog. Thanks for visiting mine and leaving a comment. : )
