Life is Good!

Life is feeling pretty full (of blessings) these days. In fact, my cup is over flowing ~
but my plate is really full too!
I have a couple swaps to get ready for mailing and my home needs a bit (a lot) of attention. Then there's that pesky 9 to 5 thing called a job that needs to be squeezed in Monday through Friday. I was away for the weekend* and I'm feeling some pressure (self-imposed of course!) to really get caught up on everything. Actually, the pressure has been on for about two years ~ roughly the same amount of time that I've been enjoying living in the Land of Blog. Hmmm...I wonder if one has something to do with the other??
I think I need to cut back on the amount of time I spend here for a little while....I'm not sure what exactly that means. Maybe shorter or less frequent posts. Maybe more pictures and less words. Maybe less visits and /or comments on other blogs. I'm just not sure. I just know I need to do things a little differently for a little while.

* I went to Leesburg, VA this weekend ~ it's such a pretty area (especially in the Spring!) and there are so many neat little shops and also some fun outlet stores! I promise to fill you in on them all ~ photos included!!

One last thing ~ I've come to discover that when a need is expressed here in the Land of Blog the response is amazing. I have some physical issues that are impacting my ability to "get caught up on everything". Your prayers would be so appreciated! I thank you all in advance for them too!

Have a joy-filled week!!

Hi Marie! It can be so dificult to fit everything in especially during the busy spring season but I do hope you won't give up blogging entirely, we'd miss hearing from you. I will certainly hold you in my prayers :)

Hello Marie! I keep telling myself I need a time limit but I still sem to spend more time on here than I plan. I am hoping to go back to school in the fall so I guess I better do something or I will be suffering serious withdrawl from blogging. :)

Hope your getting some of this sunshine to enjoy.

Marie, I can totally relate to feeling the self imposed pressure to get things caught up. I've been in a horrible funk lately and I've let way too many things go. Now I just feel overwhelmed by it all. You are now officially on my list of people to send up extra thoughts and prayers for.

Dear Marie,
I came over to thank you for your prayers regarding my mom and now I see that I can return the favor. I would love nothing more. : )
My mom had the "cement" procedure today. It looks like things went well. Time will tell and so will God. He knows best.
I will most definitely add you to my prayers. I'm sorry about your current struggles.
