Yesterday, walking to our Graphics department, I happened upon several clover leaf patches.
Growing up there was a small clover patch outside our back door. I could walk outside, and pick up 4-8 four leaf clovers. My Mom would get so upset. She could never find them.
I found this one yesterday.
My Mom would save the ones I found in wax paper, and pressed in our dictionary.
I love these clovers. 🍀

I have been struggling with a lot of anxiety the past couple of days. I have taken baths with Epsom Salts, and Lavender oil. I have been diffusing Peace & Calming II, and Lavender oils at home, and I have been using my Tranquil roll on during the day. They help a bit, but I seem to wind back up fairly easy.
I can’t seem to be calm, and stay that way. I think, as women, we tend to anticipate what we should next before we complete the step we are on. There was a .GIF years ago showing a maze with lots of blue balls moving around indicating a women’s brain. I so think many of us are this way. I also think technology has hurt me due to immediate interface. Such as, that I can ask Siri for a definition and receive the answer, before I can get a dictionary and find the word. Sometimes I miss getting up, and finding the dictionary.
What do you do to stay in the moment? What do you do to for anxiety?

David has been working on his office area now that I thought I had everything out. Ha. I forgot about the closet. You know, where everything was stored. Yep.
So…what once was a wonderful, calm space is now cluttered. I need to go through all of this before I even think about finding a spot for it.
So…anxiety again over the chaos. I want it clean and for it not to be cluttered. Another short term project, but it will be a major benefit once completed.

“Parenting brings out the best and the worst in us so flawless, guiltless parenting can’t be the goal. Secure, well-loved kids. That’s the goal.” – Beth Moore
I have always wanted the best for my kids. What parent doesn’t? Sometimes, though, the best thing we can do is to encourage them to fail. That they feel secure that we (parents) will love them regardless of their mis-steps or failings. How else do we learn, if we always win?
It is so hard to let go, and let them fall. I feel guilt if I am not as involved as some of the other parents. But I don’t consider myself a helicopter Mom. I didn’t hover to make sure that all of their homework was done. They needed to learn consequences. Same for everything else in our lives I believe.
We give the kids room to jump, run, and grow. I pray that they know that they can call, or come home at any time. They are loved.
Blessings!
So very thankful it is Saturday.
It has been a rough week, and I have tons to catch up on at home. Most importantly is homework for my Math class.
What are you thankful for today?
Blessings!
I am still working on my craft room, but the layout is done. I need to hang some shelves, and photos. I have to get all of the crafting supplies upstairs as well, but progress.
Blessings!
My head has been killing me the past several days. My eyes can’t focus, and my stomach has been upset. At first I thought it was the bug going around.
With my weight loss, my lupus has taken a back seat for a long while. It appears some of the symptoms are back. Fatigue, eye strain, and headaches are here. My body aches, and it hurts to sleep, sit or stand.
I have been hopeful that a lot of this was gone. I know that it is just a bump. We have been really active and busy lately. I haven’t had a down day in a long while. Yesterday was the down day. Back at it today.
And more rest days in the future.
Blessings!
Painting is done. I am so happy with the shades of grey with the bright white trim.
We decided that a door would make a good craft table. The doors are sold without paint or stain for about $35.00. We sanded and painted the top and sides. David drilled holes for the cables (sewing machines). He mounted the door on brackets (2×2), and then secured it with screws. The shelves are basic room organizers, and are about 31 inches high. They serve as legs (for support) as well.
I really like the depth (32 inch door) of the table. Not sure about how I am going to use the shelves just yet, but I don’t think I will have a problem filling them.
Blessings!!
Blogging. Today I have blogged every day for two months. Two months! Fifty-eight days. One of my goals for the year was to blog more.
I got through January, and thought I would scale back to maybe 3 to 5 days a week. I realized I really have enjoyed coming here daily.
Not sure if I will maintain daily in March, but I am going to try.
What goals have you accomplished so far this year?
Blessings!
