So the first thing you need is a coffee maker. This one's mine. I love it. Since it's not the Keurig brand, it cost about $100 cheaper (but it's the exact same thing!).
My mom showed me something amazing that I just have to share with whoever stumbles across this blog post. I could have just put the title as my status on facebook, but I took pictures and I have this blog, might as well make use of it, right?

I am riding another trendy wave. I am claiming a word/phrase for the new year. I've never really done that before--last year, I made concrete goals that I followed more or less. And this year I have concrete goals again, but this phrase won't leave me alone, so I'm adopting it. Having a phrase for the year is different than having goals. It seems like with goals, you actively strive for and cross off things on a list. With a phrase, it's more like osmosis.
Well, I finally did it. I finally published my first book! It is a month-long devotional for kids that I wrote last year for EJ. I decided to publish Proverbs first, and see how it goes. You can buy it here. I decided that, being a devotional book, it would lend more credence if I just put my initials instead of my first name. Most people tend to think that religious books are better written by men, and I didn't want a girly name to prevent some kid from a good Bible study!
This year for Christmas, some friends gave us a zoo membership. It lasts all year long and includes lots of coupons. We get in for free, but the train is extra (except when we have coupons for it!)
All December, the zoo decked itself out in holiday lights and posters and stayed open until 9 at night so patrons could enjoy the displays. They even blew cold (but fake) snow at us! 2014. However you say it, 2000-14 or 20-14, it is a new year, and new years are always so exciting. Like a movie I watched recently said, it's full of endless possibilities. I'm not sure how "endless" most people's possibilities are--I mean, there's no chance of me going to the moon this year, but saying "this year is full of endless logical possibilities" sounds rather, um, Star Trek-y? I can totally hear the Vulcan guy saying that sentence. (It's been a while; I can't remember his name.)
Anyway, down to business. My goals this year. Last year, I decided to have concrete goals. And for the most part, it worked a whole lot better than the other kind of goals, you know, vague ones. So I'm going to make concrete goals again. (These are not necessarily in order of importance!) |
Who am I, you ask?
In 2006 I had a stroke, and every day my husband encourages me to use my remaining brain cells to the best of my ability. I love to organize, make crafts, and go on adventures (safe ones). I hope that through my blog posts, you will be encouraged to accept and make the best of challenges God throws at your life. Categories
