Day 34

Evening is here and I have completed my ten things for the day. It does not seem to make a difference how early I start , a majority of the time I still get done around the same time. If I am given extra time I don't seem to get done earlier. I think that is something I need to work on.


I practiced Spanish and memorized two more words. I was working on algebra again today. I am still stuck on that critical thinking question. I am getting closer but not fast enough. I have to conquer it so I can move on.I am still reading my books. I only have a few pages left in one of them. I practiced the piano today and I dug out all my old coins I had collected and looked them up. I did some more organizing and I found pictures of our trip to Lincoln City when we rented a beach house. That was a lot of fun.The kids seemed so much younger then.


 It is hard when they get older and move out and have their own lives. They grow up so fast. When they are young and at home it feels like they will always be there. It is easy to take that precious time for granted. It is even harder when they grow up and move far away. When I was twenty two I went to Texas for a couple of weeks and after I came back I wanted to move there. I remember my Mom not wanting me to go . I decided not to move but I was young and I thought what is the big deal. I found out what the big deal was after having grown children move out of state. I had a lot of apologizing to do to my mother after I became a parent myself and went through different mile stones with my children. I thought for sure when they were grown I would not have to worry as much about them. I could not have been more wrong. You spend even more time on your knees in prayer because now there are sons and daughter in laws and grandchildren to love also.


I am still enjoying doing ten extra things everyday. I have learned a lot from it about myself .When my one hundred days are up I will still do some of them. I am interested to see the outcome after one hundred days.I look forward to tomorrow:)


Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no on can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.   ISAIAH 40: 28-31
