Day 36

I have made it through another day. It was not hard to do it was a good day. I have finished my ten things. It took a little while to get done tonight but I made it. Sixty four more days to go but who is counting? Oh, I think that would be me.

 I need to have a calendar I can put an X through at the end of each day when I am done or a calendar you can open like an advent calendar with chocolates. That would be fun to create one for a loved one. Maybe a wooden calendar with a little drawer with a number painted on it for each day of the month. You could put candy in it, a scripture verse, a really sweet note or something fun like that. You could send it to your grown child who is homesick or you could fill it up and leave it with a loved one if you had to travel for a little while. Every day when they opened another drawer it would be like they had another piece of you there when they see what is in it.  That would be torture for someone like me waiting for the next day. I could walk by a box sitting on a shelf every day for a year and not think anything of it , but if someone said no matter what you do don't look in that box. I would become obsessed with wondering what is in that box. I would probably have nightmares every night about piles of boxes around me that I couldn't open.


Well I practiced my Spanish today but I can't say I memorized anything new. I practiced the piano today and played blues songs. I read my books and I found some fun dishes to make for the holidays. Mathew and I started a gingerbread house . We put one together every year. I wasn't going to buy one this year I didn't think he liked it that much, I thought he just did it to make me happy. But he has been asking me for about a week now so Ken picked one up for us tonight. Mathew said when he has children he is going to make gingerbread houses with them too. I thought that was sweet. We attempted a puzzle before the ginger bread house, but I think it would take us a month to get it done. I also did more organizing this evening and I worked on my algebra. This has really been fun coming up with ten things.I am not overwhelmed at all anymore and I feel more relaxed than I have in a long time.

Yet. O LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand. ISAIAH  64:8
