Slow down!!

I cannot believe that I haven't written for so long! Where has the time gone? It all a blur. Sometimes it seems I spend way too much time just trying to 'get through the day' and not really being 'in' the day. Focusing way too much on all of life's problems that I have (which, I have to say, is quite a lot) - and not focusing enough on all of the beauty God created around me. I forget, all too often, to keep my eyes on Jesus. This morning I was talking to God and said . . . "God, please help me to fix everything". But then God told me . . . . "You don't need to fix everything - give it to me to handle and I'll take care of it". Wow, that helped a ton. Not but 1/2 hour later my husband came to me and said that he is going to help me more and that he realizes I've been doing everything on my own. He hasn't been too involved for quite a while. He said he was in the bathroom shaving and watching football when something (God) told him that he needed to be more involved and help me. Thank you God. He knows what we need.
I'm homeschooling Trent this year and it is going quite well. He is finished golfing with the Junior PGA for this year. Matt earned his Eagle Scout and received his award recently. It was great. Only 1 to 4% of all scouts are able to get to eagle. Angela is working on making some wonderful items to sell on the internet. She is so gifted. She didn't get it from me! I wish I had more creativity! Well, I'd better run. We got a new dog (now 2 dogs and 3 cats - oh, and a goldfish) and he is a little hyperactive. (Yes, I am nuts) If we take him for a couple of runs a day he seems to behave better. Love ya all.

Scrabble Pieces Beautified

My daughter, Angela, gave me some of these pendants for my birthday and I fell in love! They are so cute and are actually made from recycled scrabble pieces. So creative! They are from HomeStudio, a store on Etsy. I am so glad that I found out about them and will be going back to their store for myself and gifts for others in the future. The next pendant I want is the Halloween jack-o-lantern one. So, what I am saying is if you haven't been there already, you should. :)
