I love standing at the window watching a gentle summer rain storm. It’s so relaxing.
I do NOT enjoy standing at the window watching hail the size of marbles pound my flowers and punch holes in my vegetable garden.
Grrrrrr.

Keeping my balance in July
I discussed in a previous post my leap into a new phase of life and how I was going to try to balance my adventures. I gave a long list of things I want to do and here’s a progress report on how I’ve been teetering during my first month.
Alot:
service to family
service to friends
reading
gardening
crocheting
Some:
blogging
exercising
A little:
quilting
scrapbooking
practicing piano
organizing and cleaning out my home
child advocating
None:
family history
learning Photoshop Elements
So……..not too balanced overall, but I’ve had some interesting times and done other stuff that wasn’t on my list. I was starting to be a little hard on myself when I remembered a blogger I’d like to “Pay It Forward” to this week. Tara at Undeserving Grace has a great outlook on life and a strong faith. Her posts are interesting and fun and she has some memes that repeat. Say It Again Sunday often has some great sayings and I liked this post that helped me lighten up with the Bob Marley saying I’ve included here.
I also enjoy her Thankful Thursday posts that help me remember to be grateful for what I have and her Blessings in Bloom posts of her garden always cheer me up. Pop over and visit Tara. You’ll be glad you did!
