I just realized that I only have 100 days left to complete my goal of 365 days of kindness! I have learned so much from this little experiment of mine. Kindness really does start with me. My attitude about all aspects of life has changed. I am firmer and firmer in my faith and testimony,… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 267

Learning My R’s
The little town of Salem is beginning to have some big city problems. Trash. Everywhere. When we go to the Oregon beaches, we see trash. As you drive down the street you see trash. Trash is becoming a real issue. I read that on average, Americans discard about 33.6 million tons of plastic waste each… Continue reading Learning My R’s
#bethelight – Day 265 and 266
The past two day have been days of cleaning up from our 5 weeks of chaos. I feel so much better in life when my house is clean. So, Lilli and I have been cleaning up the yard and the garage. The truth is, it will take the rest of the day. However, it feels… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 265 and 266
Bombed that Week!
OKay... my busy week got away from me. I did not make the wisest choices. I ate potato chips more than once and I ate some onion rings. Here's the thing... my husband was gone on business all week and I didn't have time to shop or to prep. On potato chip day, it was… Continue reading Bombed that Week!
Phew! I Made It to the End of the Whirlwind
Phew! Is right! This past week has been nuts! I hardly made it home... dishes piled up... I have no clean clothes... the weeds are taller than the tomatoes... the grass is unruly... there are no healthy foods in the house... That's right... this past week was the last LONG week of CET. I worked… Continue reading Phew! I Made It to the End of the Whirlwind
#bethelight – Day 260, 261, 263, 264
Wow! I made it to the end of the most exhausting week of my year. Kind acts kept me going... people carrying things for me... my daughter helping me down stairs when my knees couldn't do it again... my friend loaning me a trailer... the same friend coming to my biggest strike and collecting all… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 260, 261, 263, 264
#bethelight – Day 259
Holy Smokes! It's HOT! More than once I have needed to put my head in the sink and soak myself. I ran out of my blood pressure meds and have not been able to leave work and get to the pharmacy when they are open. You combine that with the heat and I feel extra… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 259
Be kind to yourself
Today I just want to share a quote that impressed me. "One of the great tragedies of life, it seems to me, is when a person classifies himself as someone who has no talents or gifts. When, in disgust or discouragement, we allow ourselves to reach depressive levels of despair because of our demeaning self-appraisal,… Continue reading Be kind to yourself
#bethelight – Day 258
Today I worked hard. At the end of the day I realized I hadn't brought dinner for Lilli. I found a moment to buy her some dinner. She is a good kid and noticed I was struggling to get to the end of my day. So she jumped in and started helping. She carried boxes… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 258
#bethelight – Day 257
Hard work day. Today I worked on solving problems at work in a calm and polite manner. Let me tell you... it was work. Only 4 more days of CET left... then my tired feet, ankles, knees, heart and brain can rest... and maybe my house can get some chores done too.
