Today is enough

I'm going through a devotional book by Luci Swindoll. (Charles' sister) I first discovered Luci many years ago. She was a "grown" single woman having a ball with life. I read her book and thought I wanna grow up to be like her. LOL Time passed and I forgot about Luci and her joy and celebration from life. So when I saw her book posted on paperback swap.com (one of the best finds ever) I smiled and remembered and ordered it. I'm so glad I did.

Today's devo was about enjoying what we have and being content. I was reminded that we live in a world that demands that we always be doing something, anything. I always feel weird at work on Monday when I'm asked what I did over the weekend when I answer nothing. I haven't been to the movies in ages. I don't really need more stuff. I love being home. It is enough.

And that fits in with my goals for the year - to enjoy life - my friends - my home. There's tons of stuff that I can do at home - projects to complete. Emails to write. Notes on facebook to encourage. I need to do more of that. But for now I'm reminded that enough is enough.

God is enough. I need no other. Be it ever so humble...

Happy New Year - 2009

This is gonna sound morbid but for some reason I never thought as a kid that I'd live this long. Ok, ok, I know I'm only 50 but 2000 much less 2009 felt like so far away back then. So here I am alive and well in 2009. Since I have lived this long now I have to figure out what I'm going to accomplish this year. 2009?!?

I'm gonna get out of debt. I'm such a dork - it's out of hand but it's now out of my hands and the plan is in place to get back on track. Such a waste.

I'm going to lose this last 30 pounds and keep it off. So far so good 20lbs already down 30 more to go. Thanks Jenny! (Craig that is).

I want to get involved in creative things - either through decorating projects here at home or learning how to sew. I've been thinking about sewing for a year. It's time I did more than think.

I'm going to have friends over more often. I like entertaining. Used to do it a lot years ago - don't know what happened but I'm going to do better at it.

So here's to moving forward in 2009. Cheers!
