Treadmill, breakfast, then started cleaning projects and organizational stuff. Still going through photos but I think I’m done now. Cleaned out half of the closet under the steps, switched out bookcases with a smaller one, and also one of the dressers. Glad to have accomplished that!



So far, no changes in either Steve (Maplewood) or my friend’s mom. Will keep you posted.
I listened to Paul from River Hill – New attitude/new year. Attitude is more important than facts. We have a choice in our attitude. It’s been said 10% is what happens in our lives; 90% is our reaction. How will you use your attitude to live every day? 1) set your mind on things above and let the peace of God rule in your heart. Peace is harmony and quiet and God’s calm. Attitude must be ruled by His peace. Don’t let chaos rule your life. 2) let the Word of Christ dwell in you. It should not just show up from time to time, but LIVE there! Love, learn and live the Word! 3) Do everything in the name of the Lord. We represent God in everything we say or do. We live for Him. How you dress, drive, work, speak, treat friends and family, view entertainment — we have choices! New attitude, new year: Be THANKFUL! He loves us always. We can’t do it on our own. We need Jesus!

TOMORROW January 11 is:

Cleaning off your desk is a great idea! Helps you work more efficiently! You go clean up, and I go look for puddles… God bless!!!
Tomorrow is clean off your desk day!?? What, only ONE DAY???? How can I possibly get rid of this mess in a day? How will I ever find anything if I move it? Gimme a week or a month maybe, but ONE DAY? ONE LOUSY DAY? Good grief!
You know, of course, that a cluttered desk is the mark of a genius. SO… maybe you shouldn’t worry about cleaning off your desk. Just sayin’….
