And sometimes I didn't even know that I HAD a bead to put on until it happened. Like today - we've got a sudden invasion of little critters that we don't want and our cat doesn't need. *Sigh* It was a day that makes me want to eat a big bowl of ice cream and not move until tomorrow. :-)<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for weaving such a fantastic word picture, though. It is life. And I really need to watch, when I'm beading so very quickly, that I don't forget to praise in the midst of it!!<BR/><BR/>You're a blessing!!Amelia Antwilerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17584920083164732963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2757189962843231486.post-52779446029995363612007-09-19T03:42:00.000+09:302007-09-19T03:42:00.000+09:30I will be praying for your visit to the cardiologi...I will be praying for your visit to the cardiologist and for more "white pages" in your schedule. I have one blank day on our calendar for this month and I look at it with apprehension, hoping it will stay empty.<BR/><BR/>Hope your week goes well and doesn't feel too crazy.Leingang Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347474088428016816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2757189962843231486.post-68815514203600933162007-09-16T01:42:00.000+09:302007-09-16T01:42:00.000+09:30I have no qualms about the activities I put on my ...I have no qualms about the activities I put on my calendar. It's hard when you realize your calendar is getting taken over by family and friends who set up activities we are obliged to attend. Any time I add one of these activities (like the play Marina's friends put on in July) I feel obliged to lose activities that I had put on the schedule (like museum trips or nature hikes.)<BR/><BR/>We've been having a lot of family things lately--birthdays, bridal shower, get-togethers--all important activities, but...When your plate is already full, you have to decide what you really want to have and what you are going to scrape off. My feeling is family comes first and eventually I'll reschedule my activities when things quiet down. Health, of course, trumps all, so if my busy life begins to affect me physically, I take that as a sign I need to step away for a while. You did just that. I'm glad you are taking care of you.<BR/><BR/>I hope your tests go well. You are in my prayers. Take care, dear friend!<BR/><BR/>Peace and Laughter,<BR/>Cristinajugglingpayneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10921293051956441475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2757189962843231486.post-23953168261192468352007-09-15T17:51:00.000+09:302007-09-15T17:51:00.000+09:30Hi there!I can definitely relate to this post! I ...Hi there!<BR/><BR/>I can definitely relate to this post! I think I was gone 4 out of 5 afternoons this week, for this and that, and it was really annoying. I enjoy staying home too, for the most part, and resent the grocery store trips even. I can live on cereal but the family wants something more substantial!<BR/><BR/>Good to see you back, hope your "rest" was long enough though I find that when I say I need a blog break, I really miss it. It is a time of giving/receiving and sometimes it seems important and other times, not so. Weird, I know!<BR/><BR/>Wow, you DO have a busy schedule! I'll keep the dr. visit in prayer. I hope the test goes well and favorably. May the Lord bless your dh's new business (is that who the business cards are for?) and I hope Logan enjoys his acting role. I also hope the ball goes well. Your performing at the nursing home I'm sure will be a blessing to those there. May God give you the strength you need for the weeks ahead!<BR/><BR/>Kate <BR/><BR/>P.S. My new avatar is older than my old one (got that?) but my hair pretty much looks like this now. It's to my shoulders and I wear my bangs parted, not full across my forehead. I've had long hair for my entire life, except for a rebellious period in my early adulthood and the past 2 years, then I let it grow again last spring. Is that more info than you asked for? Sorry!
