Day 1 of the new blog.
I am a bit nervous about sustaining this blog business that I am starting yet again! Want to make this into an online journal of the happenings in life.
A lot of the blogs I enjoy are from folks who are very witty, humorous or are excellent photographers! I am none of the above but hope my chatter can sometimes be interesting to others.
January 2015 was a month of "Organizing" publicity blitz, every magazine, social media info was filled with ideas on organizing and decluttering! The diet & weight loss sound bites seemed dampened in comparison. I was impressed with a clump a day blog that I read last year - excellent blog from a highly creative person! She conquered the clutter in her house one clump at a time & captured it all with great pictures & words! I've easily been bitten by the organizing, time management, Getting Things Done (TM David Allen) over the years... But this year I think its time... I've reached that catalytic point in life!
My husband got us started by planning out shelf/closet spaces in the master bedroom & the basement. I pledged to make the label-maker my best friend. All that closet work was done today! Brand new paint - Day Spa - lovely silvery white - makes my closet look very spacious!
After a long time we have a down-time evening today... so here we are actually having agreed upon a movie to watch, "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids!". Delicious Punjabi Samosas (Deep), Chicken Tikka Samosas from (TJ). Tried out a great recipe for Sweet Potato Fries from "Our Best Bites, Mormon Moms in the Kitchen" by Sara Wells & Kate Jones! This is a great find, simple recipes with great pictures. Check out their blog site Our Best Bites
Bible passages that I read in the past couple days that have had a special meaning to me - Genesis 39:1-6, 20-23, talking about God's favor on Joseph in the presence of his enemies. The Lord showed Joseph his faithful love and caused everything he did to succeed. That is my humble testimony too. Hebrews 12:1-2 is another one - I need to run my race with endurance & keep my eyes on Jesus the champion & the author & perfector of my faith.
I've joined the 2015 Mystery Afghan knit-a-long, Week 2.
So long.

Great read and good start to a new blog....
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your new blog/blog post very much! Fabulous title! Bill and I had our traditional weekend Indian Dinner last night too, thanks to Trader Joe's frozen section - vegetable samosas, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan. And you inspired me to read Hebrews 12, thank you so much for this pertient scripture. Looking forward to your future posts very much. (You know me as patfrag on Ravelry 😃)
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat - I enjoy your posts on the Knitting Pipeline! One day I am going to meet you at the Maine Retreat!!
