The Hopping of the Blogs

I have been blog hopping...are you familiar? Starting at one blog and then clicking on the "blogs" that appear that the writer enjoys. For some reason, these blogs are leading to me confirm my faith--and here I am writing about it.

I read something to the affect of : I need to learn that being out of control of a situation is OK--that I am never "really" in control...God is. He knows the path I am on and I must put my trust in Him.

That is sound advice..hard to remember, but miracles take time.

I am praying for strong faith...that He knows what is best for me and will lead me to parent my kids in the best way possible. Because often times I fail at that.

I need to learn to say I am sorry when I slip up, and have faith that my hubby and kids will forgive me. This life thing--it is a work in progress....

Bucket Lists

One of my favorite phrases--put "that" on my bucket list...but where is my bucket list? In head, in a book--it has to be somewhere. My brother and I were discussing a few things--waking up to palm trees on Christmas is on our list...so is Thanksgiving at our cottage...These are longer term goals.

What about my short term bucket list? Perhaps a daily bucket list? Ideas: Get up with a smile on my face...make dinner with success...help kids with homework--you know what I mean. Sometimes it takes all you have to make a cup of coffee.

So today through tomorrow, I am going to focus on the day to day..to try to see the good things in my "bucket"--and perhaps, I will find some surprise things that God has put there for me...sunrises on the way to work, peanut butter m/m in the vending machine..laundry done when I get home....
