Wiser With Time

For the next couple of months - give or take - I'll be cleaning out the walk-in closet and deep-cleaning the carpet throughout the house. My life went into "ignore" mode as I dealt with the death of Cleo. Nine months since she died, now, I need to deal with some of these "chaos" issues in certain parts of the house. It has been 14 months since I last deep-cleaned the carpet, so that has to start as soon as possible. I have some pre-posts started for the site, so I'll work on those as I have time. I'll still have regular updates; I just won't be around as often as I have been recently. Just for a while.

As I age, I find that life is simpler if I try not to do too much each day. It causes muscle and joint pain and mood irritation. I don't like any of that, so I'm trying to be smart about these upcoming cleaning plans. I don't think that makes me wimpy, just wiser. I still get up before sunrise and get lots of work done each day. But I do pace myself better. Time has made me wiser. And it is my hope that you learn from the lessons life has taught me. Do what you can do. But also, make time for rest and fun each day.

Below is an inspiring quote from Gretchen Rubin I'd like to share with you:

By doing a little bit each day, you can get a lot accomplished.

wiser with time

Love My Granitestone Cookware

I bought my Granitestone cookware June 3, 2023. I loved these right out of the box. Now, after nearly 5 months of use, I'll have to say this is the best cookware I've ever owned. And I've owned lots of cookware since my husband and I got married nearly 35 years ago. I'm actually considering buying one of their knife sets too. If I do, I'll leave a product review on here for those as well.  Granitestone is not paying me for this review. If you know me by now, you know that I started this website to help other women in every aspect of life that I can. Why tell you about this today ? Because I cook our meals nearly every night of the week. And I feel that 5 months is long enough to tell you about these. They haven't warped yet like most cookware does - usually after the first use. These are very heavy duty.  I really like the glass lids so I can watch my meal more closely. These lids are also vented with small holes so I don't have to tilt them to vent. It is d

Being God's Ambassador: Meditation 4

Let's prepare to meditate . Start playing your relaxing sounds/music on another device if you like accompaniment with meditation. With your tissues and water beside you, get in a comfortable sitting position. Close your eyes if you'd like. Now, relax your entire body, starting with your forehead, between your eyebrows, your jaws, your neck and shoulders, your arms and legs. Feel the tension release as you relax. Allow the stomach and shoulders to naturally rise and fall as you slowly breathe in and breathe out. Today's meditation affirmation is "I am created in the image of God. He provides everything I need to be His ambassador." Let's repeat this affirmation to ourselves as we concentrate on our breathing for a few moments.  Continue your slow, concentrated breathing as I guide you through today's meditation. Listen to Meditation 4 . In Genesis 1:26 NLT (New Living Translation), God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us.” God made u
