Day 23

77 more days and I will have reached my goal. My 10 things are complete for the day. Sometimes it takes me a  little longer to get them done. I am going to try to have them completed by dinner tomorrow. Looking for things to  do seems to be habit forming. Some times it is hard to only do 10 minutes. I have gone over quite a few times.

I practiced my Spanish and piano like usual. Today when I played I found a really cool drum sound to add. It sounded like drums you would hear on a movie in Africa with wild animals running in the background. It was a lot of fun. I think creating music videos would be a really enjoyable hobby to have. I found my extra candles today and put them in one drawer. I thought that might be a good thing to add to my list today since the power went out  last night and It was dark this morning.I also tried to teach Ken to two step again when we were in the kitchen.I bet my neighbors behind us wished they would have left up some their trees last year . They now have a full view into my kitchen through our window.

I also organized some of the filing cabinets in our office. I ran across a bunch of pictures and stories that my daughter had created in grade school ( She is now 23). my favorite one was the story she wrote on how hail is made. It is the cutest story I have ever read. It brought tears to my eyes and It made me want to hang all her pictures and stories on the walls in my office. I even made soap tonight ,I have not done that in a long time They are plumeria with apricot seed exfoliant. I made one with little bees on it and the other one had a light house. I love lighthouses! It was quite relaxing.

Last night I did great on making a healthy dinner, but tonight I did not do so hot. I made chicken fried steak. I am going to blame it on the rain. I look forward to my next 10 things tomorrow.


We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. may your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in you.   Psalm 33: 20-22
