I learned awhile ago that life is not an emergency and if I constantly live like it is, I'll never rest and enjoy all the blessings I've been given. Hurry is for amateurs-pros know that if it doesn't get done today, it will still be there tomorrow and because I didn't do it today, I got to do something way more worthwile. It's always people before projects I say!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-73501946436519985942011-06-27T16:51:03.234-05:002011-06-27T16:51:03.234-05:00Hi Chickie!

Its like saying "what came first,the chicken or the egg"I have learned not to over obsess,like if I forget were something is ,it is starting to get scary,like are you losing your memory for good!now I;m trying to go with the flow and just get rid of a lot of unnecessary baggage. If I can;t remember if I have it why I have it[ unimportant things-a old scarf-a deco plate ect,] but I have to know where the very important things are birth cir. family bible] too much stress for me and for you I think.judynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-85682100147552139152011-06-27T14:22:21.603-05:002011-06-27T14:22:21.603-05:00ohmigosh you two are funny :)
This is a nice post...ohmigosh you two are funny :)<br /><br />This is a nice post, I have found myself having the same feelings recently, and am trying to indulge in spending more time with hubby and the boys. I find myself getting so compulsive and anal about my chores and mounting "to-do" list I sometimes forget WHO I'm doing it all for.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-72363573795624645142011-06-27T14:11:46.279-05:002011-06-27T14:11:46.279-05:00Since when are you censoring what I can and cannot...Since when are you censoring what I can and cannot read?

I just couldn't get it to come out right so I gave up on it. <br /><br />Thanks, dear daughter, for nailing it down so succinctly in your post. The analogy you used explained the concept so well. (You be a good writer person!)<br /><br />P.S. You were going to leave me your copy of L's book (that you read out of last night) but forgot! :o(Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.com
