Day 56

I have made it to day 56. I finished my ten things early today so it made it pretty easy. I have found that it is easier to try and do all ten things in a row rather than spread them out through the day. It has been a really good day today. I find when I am doing things I enjoy , it helps me take my mind off of how I am feeling physically.

I practiced my Spanish and the piano today. I read my books. It is hard to stick to ten minutes per book when I am reading but I try to do my best. I worked on Algebra today and the course I started up again. I went  out today and bought a couple of powdered colors I can add to my concrete when I make my blocks. I can't wait for my molds to get here.I have been working on more ideas for my patio. I have decided to forget about the birdhouse for now. It lost it's appeal to me after my attempts at sawing wood. I really enjoyed shop when I was younger. They had saws that were user friendly.

 I remember when I made my Mom an apple cutting board when I was in junior high. I was so proud of it.
Several years ago we were having a rummage sale for a fundraiser and my mom donated some bags of stuff for our sale. I was pulling items out of the bags and to my horror I saw my apple cutting board in there. I thought she could not have possibly meant to put this in here. It must have been an accident. I set it aside and decided to ask her later.

 I thought I would be funny and save it until christmas that year and wrap it in a box and attach a little note to it saying " Are you missing something?" but I changed my mind. I did take it out the next time I saw her and let her know she accidentally put her apple cutting board in the garage sale bag. She got a smile on her face and said we all made so many things in shop she could not remember where it came from and she took it back home with her.

I also worked on my cookbook today and started entering recipes I created. That is so much fun. I spent a little extra time on that. I came up with a name for my cookbook about a month ago , but today I decided to google it and make sure someone else did not use that name for a book and I was a little sad to see it has already been used. So I am back to square one on that ,but it won't take me long to come up with something else. We had a great time with some wonderful friends this afternoon and had an enjoyable time with my fun sister in laws this evening.

But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.
JAMES 3:17-18
