Happys

jachancellorLeave a comment

Happys is a term I use when gifting.  A Happy is just that…I thought of the person, and thought they would like this happy.  Simple.

I ordered an assorted set of cookies from Cheryl’s Cookies.  They are buttery, not too sweet, and super full of flavor.


Where I work, we host a kids summer camp.  It gets really crazy before the first two week session.  Our maintenance staff does so much for us, that a simple thank you just doesn’t seem to be enough.

Cookies?  A basket full of assorted Cheryl’s cookies says a little more.  Happys. Everyone deserves a happy every once and a while.  Just a little something that says thank you; I was thinking about you; or just ’cause.

Happy.

Sunday Thought

Trust me and don’t be afraid, for I am your Strength and Song.  Do not let fear dissipate your energy.  Instead, invest your energy in trusting Me and singing My Song.  the battle for control of your mind is fierce, and years of worry have made you vulnerable to the enemy.  Therefore, you need to be vigilant in guarding your thoughts.  do not despise this weakness in yourself, since I am using it to draw you closer to me.  Your constant need for Me creates an intimacy that is well worth all the effort.  You are not alone in this struggle for your mind.  My Spirit living within you is ever ready to help in this striving.  Ask Him to control your mind; He will bless you with Life and Peace. – Isaiah 12:2; Romans 8:6 – Jesus Calling by Sarah Young

This is June 11th’s reading.  Trust me… that is really I all needed today.  Peace.

Blessings.

Friends

Happy National Best Friends Day!

“A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself — and especially to feel, or not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at any moment is fine with them. That’s what real love amounts to — letting a person be what he really is.” — Jim Morrison

Magazines

Another one of my indulgences are magazines. I love them. I used to subscribe to many of them, now I just pick up one or two when I am at the store.


I keep them in a basket by my chair, and will read them and then reread them.

I love them.  I used to get them on my tablet. It really isn’t the same as flipping through the pages.

What are some of your indulgences?

Blessings.

Sunday Thought

“No is still a great word.  When need be, let’s have the guts to say it: to someone pushy, to someone manipulative and to someone in the mirror.  When we need to say no, let’s learn to say it right then instead of putting if off for days and dreading it like the plague.  Get it over with.” – Beth Moore

Saying no in the mirror today.  Mind wants to go and do, and body is not up for it.  So, no is okay today.  It should be everyday when we need to say it.  Why don’t we allow ourselves a break?

Slowing down this weekend.  Enough is okay.

Love and blessings.

Enough

I bought this at TJ MAXX.  I have been doubting myself lately, and how much I am doing.  This reminds me that I am enough. I am doing enough.  It will be hanging in the office soon. 

Blessings.

“Sometimes a storm in your life is what will blow you to the place you are longing to be.” – Beth Moore

Storms.  Not really.  Just feeling as though I should be doing something other than what I am doing.  My body is still adjusting, and the Lupus is conquering now.  Everyday I battle the inflammation and pain.  I am SO much better than I was a year ago.  But still in pain.  Storms.

So, I remind myself that I am working full time, taking two college classes (have taken 3 so far) this summer, and challenging myself to do more (walking daily and 5k’s).

So I read this quote and think of today and tomorrow.  Tomorrow is a dream.  Today is the moment I should be in.  Not worrying about what I am not doing, but what I have already accomplished.  God has blessed me with having more energy and a supportive, loving family.  They encourage me daily, if not moment by moment.  So why the storms?

I struggle always wanting to do more, because I can’t just sit anymore.  I maybe in pain from my joints and basic life, but I don’t want to sit on the couch anymore.  Ever.   I know that I need rest days but dreams.  Dreams of being more involved, starting a shop (really), getting back into ministry…dreams.

So…today’s post is just a bunch of scattered thoughts…but thank you for listening.

Blessings.

Well, I jumped.  Not sure about what I jumped into, but not where I thought I would be. So…no harm no foul, but now what.

Prayers still appreciated.  Emotions are a little thin.

Thank you.
