365 WORDS...ONE WORD AT A TIME...MARCH IS IN THE REARVIEW!

The last day of the month is always catch-up day. I missed one day last month and posted twice on the last day. I missed one day this month...due to a headache and wouldn't you know...today another headache....hmmm. Today I was feeling something that is rare for me...STRESS. I was trying to work and there were way too many people trying to distract me with phone calls and messages and my laptop was making enough noise to compete with a Mack Truck. Now my headache is gone and I am STRESS free once again. I learned that I really needed to get the things I needed to do completed in a timely manner and not waste time and worst of all...energy on things that do not matter. We are all held accountable for our time and how we spend it. I would not have felt STRESS today if I had just did what I needed to do. Lesson learned! So off we "March" into April. I wonder what wonderful, exciting words...will be waiting for me there....smiles.

Wow I think SPRING is in the air at last! It was actually hot outside...yes I was outside again! It was wonderful. Okay I had to go out but I really did enjoy the wonderful SPRING day! It reached 78 degrees and I am so grateful. Its funny though how you can roast (happily so) outside and still need the heat inside. That does come in handy in the Summer though because then I don't need the A/C. Smiles. The photos that I took today are a far cry from less than two weeks ago when the blossoms were on and the daffodils were up. Now the leaves are on the trees almost to their normal size. SPRING is a wonderful time of year...a time of renewal and awaking...I am really loving it this year...much more than usual although Winter went really fast to me. So enjoy the warmth and the buds and all the wonderful things God has given us again. Above all...stay blessed.

Today is the last day of "The 30/30 Challenge." Wow! 30 days went by really fast! Studying the WORD was great...is great. I have to say is because the 30 minutes a day for 30 days is just a launching point. I intend to keep studying God's WORD. This will become a daily part of my life now. God's WORD renews our minds...see Roman's 12:2. Who couldn't use some mind renewal...smiles. Man...nor woman...lives by bread alone...I need the WORD just like I need air and food! I need it to live! Was it a challenge? You bet it was...but all of us find time to do the things we really want to do...even if we feel like doing absolutely...nothing. To help me with my study of God's WORD, I was directed to something I had never heard of before but it is awesome! I have YouVersion, Glo, and another app simply called The Bible, but after being led to this one, I find it meets all my needs. I would like to share it with you. This Bible is portable and can be loaded to a flash drive and shared freely with others if you chose. The online Bible is a complete software program with too many wonderful things to list them all. TheWORD is all you need it to be and more and by God's grace it is free! Enjoy this discovery as much as I did. TheWORD  Above all stay blessed!

Today I did something very unusual for me. Usually I am perfectly okay with staying indoors...especially when its raining. The weather report kept saying 90% rain until late afternoon but everytime I looked OUTSIDE it was sunny. Then after getting ready to go OUTSIDE...it would get very very cloudy and rain. I don't know why I wanted to go OUTSIDE so badly. Bailey needed hay and if I didn't go today, I would surely have to go tomorrow...and that was stretching it. I wrestled with this all day until finally at 5.12 pm I made up my mind to go OUTSIDE. I hurried and finished getting ready and flew out the door. As soon as I was OUTSIDE I felt a sense of relief, a sense of accomplishment...maybe because I had heard a still small inner voice telling me earlier in the day..."why put off until tomorrow, what you can do today." Was it perfect weather OUTSIDE? No...not even close. I was not dressed warm enough for the high winds, especially when the black clouds came and blotted out the sun and doused what bit of warmth that there was. Whether it was that still small voice, Baileys lack of enough hay, my desire for lettuce (salad)...which I didn't eat, or my desire to walk off the 2 pounds that I had gained...I felt great I felt empowered and the fresh air was invigorating! Maybe being OUTSIDE isn't so bad afterall.

My mother used to have to literally force me to go OUTSIDE! I was always in my room with my nose buried in a book...or writing short stories. For me this is progress...a giant step!

I had stopped attending BUSINESS meetings last year because my heart really wasn't in it. However since I prayed a few weeks ago that my passion for BUSINESS would return...I think that would include being present for at least the meetings that are pertinent to my field. I actually really enjoyed the BUSINESS meeting today. This is my second this year...it should have been my 3rd but I forgot one...half of it anyway. I couldn't arrive 30 minutes late...smiles. So here's to the success to everyone's BUSINESS! Keep moving forward!

FORGIVENESS is a wonderful thing. Often it takes time. If you wait long enough, often it will happen on its own. I waited for FORGIVENESS to happen. I did take the first step though. It was easier for me...I think the person probably even forgot why they were upset with me in the first place...especially since it was something silly. Very silly. I am just happy that all is well. However now I have to set some boundaries. Ohhh FORGIVENESS is a wonderful thing...70 x 7. This time I was on the receiving end...however I must remember this when it is me who needs to show FORGIVENESS to someone else.
