It's Monday Again

Hi All,

It is Monday again...right. Well not exactly, it is Tuesday you say... You are correct. This post was suppose to go out yesterday, but I have been without Internet for 48 hours. We have been blessed with a new computer....I am LOVIN it, and so it was time to upgrade our Internet speed as well. This process wasn't as easy as we thought it might be, and has been one big problem after another. I am happy to be back on line again, I hadn't realized how addicted to my blog I actually am! Nothing but L.O.V.E. for you ladies! : )

You all know, by now, how much I adore Mondays.

They really do tickle my fancy, I always get so much done, our day is slow and spent together, I give myself the luxury of extra time spent on me, and life resumes order once again.

However, this was not the case for yesterday.

I ruined a perfectly good Monday with a really bad attitude. I couldn't shake it, the funk lasted from my first morning cup of coffee...which was cold, through a crazy but much needed trip to the grocery store, all the way onto dinner which had to be changed at the last min because I choose to help a lady in the wine isle and got distracted, until finally, with one long huffy sigh, I went to bed!

Sad, hu? I agree, it was a waste, and I am so not proud of how I behaved. My oldest son even commented on my attitude, " Your really having kinda a rough day today Mom...," I just had to hang my head and ask for his forgiveness.

Today is a new day.

New computer, with extra fast speedy capabilities, new attitude, and a new opportunity to choose joy! My day started with Jazzercise, and I am still going strong. I love how exercise can help with a new perspective! I did get to spend extra time with my Bible yesterday, a coping mechanism, and so without further ado...here is the verse for me this week!

Isaiah 40:28-31

Do You not know? Have you not hear?

The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth

Does not become weary or tired.

His understanding is inscrutable.

He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly,

Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength;

They will mount up with wings like eagles,

They will run and not get tired,

They will walk and not become weary!

Yes, Yes, Yes, and an Amen too!

Facial Monday:
It is my hope that you will set aside some time this week for yourself. I know that time is precious, but so are YOU! Take an extra ten minutes, if that is all you can spare. Close the bathroom door, breath, and take care of you. I love candles, a hot bath with fun reading material, a facial, freshly painted toes, and a little Vanilla Bean body butter! I wish I could say that I get all this in every week, I don't, but I do find time for some pampering. Do what you can, you are so worth it, and will be a better mom, wife, and friend for the time spent on you.

Deal of the week:

This is an amazing collection of products, a fun pomegranate scent, and a great gift for someone you love...maybe you! To order click here, this deal won't last long!
