Today's Raspberries: A photo that is somewhat but not necessarily related to the following post.
This morning during my sporadic (some days I'm disciplined, most days I'm not) quiet time I wrote. Mostly prayers of the "please guide me" variety. My last scribbles of the morning were:
simplify
be content
self-discipline
enjoy
embrace
love.
The words flowed from my pen, without thought. After I wrote them I was pleasantly surprised with what seemed like a divine answer to my morning's soul searching. It became my updated Tuesday's to-do list.
Lest you think my life is airy fairy and I'm running around arms in air with a free spirit "going with the flow" I should set the record straight. I don't know much about tested personality types, I hate labels, but I'm probably a type A personality. Very task orientated and driven to accomplish. I'm not a work outside the home career woman so this "energy" is channeled into my homemaking. Somedays it seems like homemaking with a vengeance. Hum... maybe that's a better title for this blog.
I'm fairly thick-headed but I'm getting the message of where my heart and home needs to be (contented), how I'm going to achieve my goals (simplify & self-discipline), how to travel this journey (enjoy & embrace) and what needs to over-arch it all (love).

Lol, "homemaking with a vengeance", ha! I'm right there with ya. Love the part about simplifying, enjoying and embracing. Beautiful words to live by.
