My,----women----WHERE do we start??
A woman is a very complex machine, don't you think??
We wear many, many hats - depends what situation we
are dealing with at the moment.
Some of us go singing through life and some of us have had tragedy.
Whatever, we go through is what we are.
The person others see us as.
I hope - if only in some small way - I can give some useful and helpful information.
What you need to know about the past is that no
matter what has happened, it has all worked together to
bring you to this very moment. And this is the moment
you can choose to make everything new.
RIGHT NOW.
Keeping Life Simple
This is a book by Karen Levine...There are 7 principles to help us simplify our lives.
#1---Relax you standards...
If your standards leave you with too little energy to enjoy other things.
It is time to relax them....
#2---Free Yourself of Stereotypical Roles...
Think about what needs to be done in the day. Divide the tasks up
by inclination instead of stereotypical.
#3---Take Time to Figure Out What You Find Most Satisfying...
So, you don't like watching the news at night...Don't...
Curl up with a good book before going to bed, listen to music.
#4---Create Time for the Things You Care About...
This is a little thing that requires a little thought..but,
can mean a big difference in your life.
#5---Learn to Enjoy What Is In Front of You...
Enjoy the beauty even through the bad.
Look at the "half-full" instead of the "half-empty."
#6---Learn to be Flexible...
So what, if you eat cereal for dinner?? Cake for breakfast..
Be flexible...enjoy!!!
#7---Prioritize...
Figure out all the things you must do, think about the things
you enjoy. You can,now, prioritize.
Remember, you really do have the right to make choices...
That is the key to make your life simpler.
Write these down...we all need to take
stress out of our lives.
This is just a small step toward
the rewards of a leisurely life.
FRIENDS---AN EXCELLENT WAY TO SIMPLIFY---
A good friend is an answer from Heaven.
They listen and accept you just as you are..
I am so glad our paths have crossed this way.
When we met 'twas for me a lucky day.
You touched my heart and now are dear to me.
There's no one quite like you, It's plain to see.
You've brought me happiness and sometimes sad.
We've learned together, for that I am glad.
I give thanks to God for the gift of you.
May HE bless you in all the things you do.
Yet he did not waver through unbelief
regarding the promise of God, but was
strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,
being fully persuaded that God had power
to do what he promised......Romans 4:20-21
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WHEN YOU SEE A RAINBOW????
Do you know why God put people's faces on the
front of their bodies?? Faces are in the front
so people can see where they're going,,NOT where
they've been...
We have to go forward, not backward.
LAUGHTER is good for the INNER SELF!!!
The other day, Chrly and I received a fax from
a friend..This is how it goes......
Wouldn't it be nice if we could just be happy with what we
are? A SMILE is worth a thousand words
Smile at someone,,,a stranger,,, loved one,,,yourself...
I think you will be surprised how much better it makes you
feel...
You have to have faith that IF you've been
chosen to do something....God has a very good reason for it
HOUSEHOLD HINTS
A dish of vinegar placed in a room full of cigarette or cigar
smokers will help freshen the air.
To make the bathroom smell fresher, place a fabric softner sheet,
in the waste basket and toliet paper roll.
To clean your broiler, sprinkle the hot pan heavily with dry
laundry detergent. Cover with a dampened paper towel
and let the burned food set for awhile. The
pan should require little scrubbing.
To clean your blender, fill part way with hot water and add a
drop of detergent. Cover and turn on for a few
seconds. Rinse and drain dry.
Give your room a pleasant scent by dabbing perfume on a cool
bulb in your lamp. As the bulb gets hot, a sweet
smell will permeate the air.
Animal hair can be removed from furniture with a damp sponge
or pieces of adhesive tape.
To make defrosting easier, rub the insides of the freezing
compartment with shortening, or spray with commercial
coating designed to keep food from sticking to pans.
The ice will slip right off the next time you defrost.
To clean raw egg dropped on the floor, sprinkle salt over it and
allow it to sit for 15 minutes. Then, simply sweep up
with a broom.
Clean sturdy artificial flowers by placing them in a large paper
bag containing cornmeal or salt. Shake, and the
cornmeal or salt will act as an abrasive to remove the
dust.
Clear plastic stapled on the inside of louvered closet doors will
help keep out dust and moths.
There is a difference between what your heart
feels and what it knows..Your heart is for holding things:
joy, love, pain. But looking to your heart for an answer,
instead of praying for one can get you into trouble.
The answer to prayer comes from God and
listening to Him will never trip you up.
