Hello my dear friend,I hope your Sunday went well for you.I did not write this, But its Something I will try for sure...
For weeks I have heard people saying, “I just can’t wait for things to be back to normal.” I remember even saying that a few times myself. But as I’ve thought about our current situation I have realized how much I don’t want things to go back to the way they were. Here are a few of my thoughts... 1. I pray that the next time a friend grabs me and pulls me in for a hug, I actually take the time to appreciate the gift of their embrace. 2. I pray that when I have a doctor's appointment, I take the time to thank the staff for the amazing gift that they give to me and my family. 3. I pray that the next time I’m sitting in a crowded restaurant I take the time to look around at the smiling faces, loud voices and thank God for the gift of community. 4. I pray that the next time I’m standing in church listening to the voices of praise and taking communion that I take a moment to thank God for the gift of congregation. 5. I pray that the next time I see a person or situation that needs prayer, I hope I pray as passionately and fervently as I have these past few weeks. 6. I pray that when I am at the grocery store that I take a moment to thank God that He provides us with the necessities of life and the amazing people who work so hard to keep us supplied. 7. I pray that I never again take for granted the ability to hop in the car and visit a friend, go to the mall, enjoy activities with my kids, etc. So, truth is, I don’t want things to return to the way they once were. I pray that we take the lessons and challenges of the past few weeks and create a new normal. My goal is to pray more, love harder, and truly appreciate the daily abundance of blessings that were so easily overlooked just a mere few weeks ago. If someone tells you they love you, take it to heart! Copy and paste if you feel the same!

Hello. A rainy Saturday afternoon and significantly cooler. Had to turn the heat back on for a time. Just another crazy weather day. I spent a sleepless night, but fell asleep in the very early morning hours. Slept a good portion of my morning away and now I feel like I've missed the best part of my day. Now it is time to get busy and make this day productive and find the joy that I know is waiting for me. First a good meal and then onward and upward ! It's a sieze the day charge! So until later...hope you are enjoying your caturday. ~ Marcia
