taking stock august

August 31, 2015

MADE:  an ever so tiny cactus garden, well planted one anyway

COOKED: barely.  I barely cooked

DRANK:  water and made a vow to not drink soda for one week in August. I shook hands on it.

READ:  Simply Tuesday by Emily Freeman and Keep Going by Joseph M. Marshall III

WANTED: to do so many creative things but sort of didn’t

RECEIVED:  the sweetest family note in the most darling pirate bottle and two for the price of one (mermaids)

PLAYED:   full time working Mom, not complaining, it’s not for the long haul

DECIDED:  to stop and see the Grand Canyon for the first time ever at age 45

WISHED:  for MORE rain, will not stop wishing and praying for rain

ENJOYED: a really fun road trip across parts of CA, AZ, NM, TX, OK and ARK

WONDERED:  about the big wonderful thunder storms we went through in the desert.  How they come and go so quick.

WORKED ON: huge mountains of laundry

STARTED:  a new rule where everyone does their very own laundry and has their own basket 

WATCHED: More Tiny House Nation and my favorite show Little People Big World

HOPED:  I could give up dairy

NEEDED: to still make Abbie’s tiniest room in the house user friendly

SMELLED:  rich earth, highly chlorinated pool and my new essential oil diffuser

WORE:   the most pretty sparkly earrings nearly all month every day

NOTICED:  The summer garden dying off

KNEW:  Working full days would mess with my fun I like to have

THOUGHT: Reading through the entire Bible ever so slowly would be a good plan

ADMIRED:  Motorcycle Man’s hay wire ideas to like sleep on the roof, then do it.

SORTED:  RFI’s, certified payroll, invoices and checks.  Lots of sorting at work.

BOUGHT: a beautiful Indian blanket and moccasins on our road trip and a mermaid mosaic from my sister and friend. 

FINALLY:  bought a daily planner (a must HAVE)  in order to survive

DISLIKED:  that bad things sometimes happen to good people

FELT:  Excited for the new-ness September will bring.  New fresh beginnings.

SNACKED:  humus, carrots, fruit and non dairy selections towards the end of August

LISTENED:  Discover Weekly spotify created a playlist for me based on things I like.

DISCOVERED:  I do not like papaya at all and I don’t even want to acquire a taste for it.

SCRIPTURE:   John 13:34-35

34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
