It is day forty eight and I have finished my ten things by six thirty. Yesterday should have been day forty eight but I could not bring myself to do a single extra thing . I was still wore out from some things I had to do on Friday and yesterday my brother Mike and his wife and their two girls came over to my parents so we had Christmas dinner a week early with all my siblings and their families. When I got home I thought about my ten things I still needed to do but everything inside me seemed to rebel.
Today I tried to make my ten things a little more therapeutic . I started off by going outside and doing yard work. I was trying to clean up the area where I would like to put a patio. Blackberry bushes and vines are starting to grow in places they were not before. What I would like to know is who broke one of my white bowls and threw it in the bushes. After working in the yard I went down to the beach.
It was so quiet , the only thing I could hear were seagulls and the tide . There wasn't anyone around and I had the whole beach to myself. The sun was beautiful and it was shining on the water. It looked like a lit up golden path with lights dancing on it. I brought my camera this time and had fun taking pictures. After taking pictures I decided to pick some small shiny colorful rocks to put into a stepping stone I am going to make or maybe one of my bricks.As the sun was going down it started to get a little chilly so I went to the car and turned on the heat and just sat by the water and read for a while.
I decided to head home to finish the rest of my things after reading, but as I was driving by an antique store I decided to stop and browse around for fun. After wandering around for a while I noticed it was getting dark and I needed to get home and make dinner. With in moments of pulling out of the the parking lot I noticed a street full of Christmas lights so I turned on my Christmas music and started driving around looking at lights.I did finally go home and start dinner and finish my ten things. I knew if I didn't get home soon Ken might think I got lost.
I practiced my Spanish and I memorized a few more words. I played the piano for a while and did more organizing in the office. I worked on my algebra tonight but there is something I think I missed. If I can't figure it out I am going to have to swallow my pride and ask one of my children to help. Let's hope it does not come to that. I had the weirdest dream the other night. I had a dream I went back to school and I had a half hour to get to class and it was only a five minute walk. The path I was on looked like something off of candy land and every time I turned a corner I had to walk through another building with really slow people in front of me . I started stressing out because I was going to be late and people kept stopping in front of me and talking to each other. I finally ran in to my class and it was a fellowship hall with only three students in it and Randy Travis was my math teacher. I think it must be the new allergy medicine I am taking before bed.
May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, that your ways may be known on the earth, your salvation among all nations. PSALM 67:1-2
