Finally, a Low-Key Day

Just having a low-key day at home today. Hubby out on an errand, and both boys nicely busy around the house. Sometimes you need a low-key day. Or two, or three, or maybe a whole month's-worth, in my case. It has seemed like the last few months (maybe years - ha ha) have been non-stop stuff to do. Chop down the to-do list, and more things immediately crop up out of nowhere. You think you'll catch your breath and get your brain functions back, and here come another million things to do. The things I really want to accomplish get shoved to the back of the stove constantly, waiting for later. Sometimes, they fall clear off the stove and crash on the floor. So now that things are slowing down and calming down, maybe I can sweep up some of those "lost projects" and get them going again.

I want to:

Get rid of junk from when we moved a year ago, and make things look "normal" and "decent" around here. Storage space in this house isn't the greatest, so things are still just everywhere. My aim is to sort, then either THROW AWAY or send to the thrift store.

Do some quilt-making. Quite awhile back I got a rotary cutting tool and a mat, and it's still sitting in the dining room, unwrapped and unused!! Material is sitting upstairs in the spare bedroom, just waiting on my "creativeness." It's been too long, and I don't want to let go of this legacy of quilting I've got in my life.

Continue working on my recipe notebooks. At least I got all the ones from Mom's recipe box in a notebook! I wrote out the recipes, so I could keep the original recipes in the box like she had them.

That would be enough for now, so hopefully something will get accomplished as time goes by.

Things I am thankful for today:

Hugs from my sons.
A warm house.
Food to eat.
Music.
Hubby and I both have work.
Family and friends.
Faith in God that sustains me each day.
Humor.
The internet.
Being able to have a quiet morning.
Sleeping good at night for a change.
Getting extra weight off, FINALLY.
Drinking hot tea and hot cocoa and hot coffee on a cold day.

I'm sure there are many more, but that'll do for now. No, my plans do NOT include making any new year's resolutions!
