An OH Happy Day...

Just A Happy Day
 Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory,1Pe 1:8
no reason
just fun filled thoughts
it's exam week at the high school
I work in - the Health Room is quiet
getting lots of things done...
 "You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands."Isaiah 55:12
no worries today
just being silly and happy
and I've had my share of sucky days...
but this isn't one of them
I just woke up on the bright side
mango, peach protein shake, Starbucks coffee
good attitude, a custom card order with cows on them
Cool!
 "This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24

and I'm wishing you the
sweetest day ever! Jenn

No Time Like The Present - Enjoy!

Pack up your pre-holiday stress....please?

Don't get all tangled up in the rush of things.
Take time to see the ones you love.
Love the ones your with.
Don't be swept away by lists,chores, tasks.
People come to see YOU - not check out your dust bunnies.
Mmmmm, ooops - just daydreaming about my
favorite football team the NY Giants, lol.
But if that relaxes or revives you - go for it!
Another big mmmmm!
Dance...

dress up or...don't!
I hope you're happy whatever you do!

Tickle Me Pink! A Day In The Life Of Little Boys With Chores...

when my sons Todd and Matt were little
I taught them how to do daily tasks
it was always a fuss
but now they say it helped them be prepared for Life

15 minutes a day
fold their wash
empty trash from their bathroom
feed the dog
pick up their toys
when Todd was little I would say
"If you don't behave Mommy won't let you vacuum"
he actually thought it was a treat, lol
I'm sure they thought I was a ....


so now, at 32 and 29
they cook, iron, clean
they're men
have less clutter than their Mom
more organizational skills
and I love them so

Tickle me pink!  Jennifer
