Wow, what a busy week... It just seems like it has been go, go, go. I've been working on some time consuming projects, voted, visited my parents and went to Sophia's birthday dinner.
Just think, the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are just around the corner and then we will really know busy. The neat thing about the holidays is that we wouldn't want it any other way. We love to decorate, cook and prepare for two the the best celebrated seasons of the year.
Well, just a few of my thoughts ...

Time Flies...
Time flies... especially as we get older, so it seems. I remember as a child thinking that the special events that I was waiting on would never arrive. Now they just seems to fly by without even stopping for air. It is funny how we view things at different seasons of our life.
Anyway, another October is almost gone. It was a fruitful summer and I was able to get a lot of produce put up for winter. I was able to stock the pantry and goods needed for winter. I need a few more things, but they will come. I like to find specials and coupons especially in times like these.
Well, I've certainly enjoyed the fall weather. It's beauty hasn't let us down. Now we'll look forward to a wonderful Thanksgiving time next month and all that November has for us to experience.

Prayer In The Square
World Net Daily had a link to a Prayer in the Square rally that took place at Time Square Sunday. I haven't heard or read anything about this, but I am glad that this wonderful act of faith happened Sunday. I enjoy good news, and what better news than there are people praying for our country. Wow, 60,000 people, now that's good news!

Fall's Arrived....
Summer's over and Fall's arrived...
I always look forward to the beauty of each new season. It has been a nice long vacation from writing, but I'm ready for the new blogging challenge. Blogs do take time and effort.
What's new? I've got a Facebook account now and that is enjoyable, but I enjoy blogging. Facebook seems so open, but a blog just feels like me. They both have their ups and downs. I think the neatest thing I do on Facebook is play the Farmville game. Now that is fun!

Guidelines For Today's Living
Guidelines For Today’s Living
By Robert Louis Stevenson
Make up your mind to be happy… learn to find your pleasure in simple things.
- Make the best of circumstances. No one has everything , and everyone has something of sorrow.
- Don’t take yourself too seriously.
- Don’t let criticism worry you… you can’t please everybody.
- Don’t let your neighbors set your standards… be yourself.
- Do things you enjoy doing… but stay out of debt.
- Don’t borrow trouble. Imaginary things are harder to bear than actual ones.
- Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish enmities and grudges.
- Have many interests… if you can’t travel, read about places.
- Don’t hold post-mortems or spend time brooding over sorrows and mistakes.
- Don’t be the one who never gets over things.
- Keep busy at something… a very busy person never has time to be unhappy.
Have a good day!

Need A Laugh...
Do you need a laugh? I do... I feel terrible. Whatever just keeps hanging on.
Anyway, World Net Daily has a forum section called LAUGHLINES. I decided that in spite of the sickness, I needed a good laugh. You might want to check them out for many, many more laughs.
Diagnosis A.A.A.D.D.
Recently, I was diagnosed with A. A. A. D. D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. This is how it manifests: I decide to wash my car. As I start toward the garage, I notice that there is mail on the hall table. I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car. I lay my car keys down on the table, put the junk mail in the trash can under the table, and notice that the trash can is full. So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the trash first. But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the trash anyway, I may as well pay the bills first. I take my checkbook off the table, and see that there is only one check left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go to my desk where I find the can of Coke that I had been drinking. I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Coke aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. I see that the Coke is getting warm, and I decide I should put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold. As I head toward the kitchen with the coke a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need to be watered. I set the Coke down on the counter, and I discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning. I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers. I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly I spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table. I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I will be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers. I splash some water on the flowers, but most of it spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back down on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill. Then I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do. At the end of the day: the car isn't washed, the bills aren't paid, there is a warm can of Coke sitting on the counter, the flowers aren't watered, there is still only one check in my checkbook, I can't find the remote, I can't find my glasses, and I don't remember what I did with the car keys. Then when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day long, and I'm really tired. I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail. Do me a favor, will you? Forward this message to everyone you know, because I don't remember to whom it has been sent. Don't laugh -- if this isn't you yet, your day is coming!

How Big Is God?
Driving home from an appointment this morning, the words to this song came to mind. I'm sure you'll understand... the Lord was so near and so big.
It just amazes me .... "He's big enough to rule his mighty universe
Yet small enough to live within my heart."
It's hard to drive with tears, but the blessing was so great!
How Big Is God?
Though men may strife to go beyond the reap of space
To crawl beyond the distant shining stars
This world's a room so small within my Master's house
The open sky's but a portion of his yard.
How big is God, how big and wide is His domain
To try to tell these lips can only start
He's big enough to rule his mighty universe
Yet small enough to live within my heart.
(As winter chill may cause the tiny seed to fall)
To lie asleep till waked by summer's rain
The heart grown cold will warm and trod with life anew
The Master's touch will bring the glow again.
How big is God, how big and wide is His vast domain
To try to tell these lips can only start
He's big enough to rule his mighty universe
Yet small enough to live within my heart.
-Ray Price
