December

Hard to believe it's December. This year has flown by but it also seems like it's been a long year.

December started and so did the mild temps. Living in the south, I am not surprised.

I love this time of year. A busy time of the year; but I like it.

As I sit here writing this, I am watching college football. Championship Saturday has been good football.

I have my tree lights on and I enjoy sitting here looking at our tree. It's so pretty, with red and silver ornaments and ornaments that I have had forever.

I also decided to sit in the sunroom and enjoy the sunshine. A peaceful day.

I want to bake and make candy and wrap presents but today I am going to enjoy the decorations and the other things can be done another day.

These are the things I am enjoying this first weekend in December.

Hope your last month of 2017 will be filled many blessings and good health and rest and peace.

God is good!

Starting Again

I used to write another blog several years ago. I blogged for 7 plus years and decided to take a break.

On that blog, I used to write about the simple pleasures of life.

I used this quote then and I will use it now:

I still agree with this quote today.

In my thirties, I began reading my Bible more and I started Beth Moore's Bible studies at my church and it is through these studies that I felt convicted of not slowing down and enjoying the small things in life. I was always looking at the bigger picture and trying to figure life out after my divorce and being a single mom. It was always days of rush, rush, rush. 

I knew that I needed to slow down and start living one day at a time and trust God to meet our daily needs. That's easier said than done. Just being honest. 

When I started slowing down and being intentional about my surroundings and taking the time to watch a sunrise or a sunset, that is when I began enjoying life. 

It made all the difference for me. Life is hard but I believe it's in those moments that we can sit at Starbucks with a friend or sit at the beach and relax with a good book, or listen to the sound of the ocean and many other things that mean the most in life.

This is what this blog will be about.

Sharing about the little things in life that bring enjoyment.
