Terrific Tuesday!

So today has been a really great day!  I love it when I get my routine down pat so I can finish it in just a few hours.  (That is, even taking it slow.  Imagine what would happen if I did it straight through)  So, what is your best accomplishment as a Flybaby?

I still attribute my being able to stay up to coffee.  After the alarm went off, I had to convince myself to get out of bed.  Now I have to get my ds9 out of bed...that is a chore.  (Any suggestions on getting him independent?)   After getting him out of bed, I made my bed.  This helped immensely.  With COFFEE and breakfast, I was ready to go.  I got the sinks shined, and laundry done, with only two to do, I felt good.

So now I am watching Little People, Big World on Netflix.  Are you aware that the entire season is 42 episodes long?  Anyhow, I take time out after each episode is finished.  I did the swish and swipe in the little bathroom, and I typed out the control journal for the week.  I think I am pretty confidant that I have the cj under control!  Here are just a few pics that I took today.  What a beautiful day it is today!  I plan on getting outside with my boys later!







HEAVENLY THOUGHTS
I thought that I would mix up my Spiritual part by giving a story, Bible thought, or a video from Godvine that I get every day.  Many of these are just too special to not share.  Today was no exception.  This is a video that was extra special to me;

I also loved the story after it...

It's How You See It
A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He had a sign which read: "I am blind. Please Help." There were only a few coins in the hat.

When a man came walking by, he took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. Then he took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on the back. He put the sign where it was, so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy.

That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were going. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"

The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way. I wrote: 'Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it.'"

Both signs told people the same thing... that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were extremely fortunate that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

Moral of the Story:
Be thankful for what you have.
Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.

When life gives you a reason to cry, show life that you have 100 reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.

Keep the faith and drop the fear... just remember God is Near!

I hope your day is filled with lots of love;
Amy
