Happy Friday!

Sunday Thoughts
“Some things don’t need to be handled. They need to be unhandled. Nothing requires more self-control than withdrawing the attempt to control.” – Beth Moore
“Let Him have all your worries and cares, for He is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you.” 1 Peter 5:7
How often do you give everything to God, but in the next moment you are worrying about it again? You take it back because you feel you have to maintain control over it. I do. Life happens. There are things that we HAVE to do: like taking items out of the oven before they burn, putting gas in our car before it runs out, keeping up with our finances so you can go on a trip or buy groceries.
Life happens, right? We have to keep up with it, the day to day stuff. But I get lost in the simple stuff sometimes. I remember that He is control of every single hair on my head, yet I wonder what tomorrow will bring. I a big picture thinker, a worst case scenario person. This pays off in what I do for a paycheck as people count on me for my detail thinking. I like to be mindful about the smallest detail. But at home, it can become overwhelming. There are days I just want to let it all go, and not think about the details of life. I let them go, and let God deal with them, only a hour or two later to take it all back.
Today, and everyday I need to remind myself to withdraw from the worry.
Blessings.
Bruises
I fell the other day…so the bruises on my knees are from the fall. The other bruises…I have no clue where they came from from…really? Top of my right foot to my left shin…I have some on my arms, hands…have no clue…they might be from the fall but they are in odd spots as well.
Eh? Oh well.
Do you find bruises and have no idea where they came from?
Blessings.
Makeup
Blessings!
Meal Planning
Nope. Not this week. Have I cooked? Nope. Not this week. I so needed to, but with traveling back on Saturday (15 hours in the car), and unpacking, and laundry on Sunday (yada, yada, yada), I am happy to functioning with my new job this week. Adult lunchables, and Taco Bell (protein bowl-no rice!) have been my friends.
So, real life, right? Not all of social media is happy – mine especially! I post things that try to encourage myself, and hopefully you as well!
But today…truth…I didn’t meal plan for the week. I didn’t do much to get through this week. Oh, well, so goes life, right? So, happy Thursday!! And…this weekend I will meal plan, well, there is hope.
Blessings!
Past
Instead of looking at the past, I put myself ahead twenty years and try to look at what I need to do now in order to get there then. – Diana Ross

Loved being able to see this with my own eyes…at the National Gallery of Arts East in Washington DC.

Be Yourself
A good reminder for Monday – and the rest of the week.

Sunday Thought
This past week has been wonderful, as we have been in Virginia and DC. David had to work, and I got to go along to play in DC on my own and to visit family. Truly satisfying all my desires of my heart. I have missed my nieces, and being able to spend three days with them was glorious. 
DC on my own was wonderfully exhausting. Over 14,000 steps –such a NSV as when we went with the family a couple of years ago, I was unable to walk up the stairs to see the Lincoln Memorial. So to be able (after a day of already walking everywhere) walk up with NO issues and take this picture–perfect!! I will say…I was really sad at myself after walking up those stairs thinking about the time before—I had thought it was so far up that I couldn’t do it—it really was nothing–this time. WOW. 
Time with family was the best…I got to spend three precious days with my nieces on their farm–aren’t silly faces the best? Then back to DC with David. 
On Friday, David and I got to explore DC.
Not as many steps as I got on Monday, but a wonderful time exploring DC. If you have an opportunity to go to The Dubliner–GO. David actually got a 10 year old whiskey called the Dubliner, I got Chardonnay (I know – not Irish but really a nice wine).
It has great food, Guinness, and Irish whiskey. 
We explored some more of DC…before heading back to the hotel in Reston, VA. It was a wonderful week. The 16 hour drive from Reston, VA back to Fort Walton Beach, FL was exhausting yesterday…which is why my post today is so late…
So…go explore, wherever you might be!
Blessings.
Friday
Blessings!
