I AM a Morning Person

Opening my blog today, I realized it's been 4 weeks since my last post.....not that I haven't had lots to comment about..........three birthdays, make that four.......an anniversary (#42) and countless other family mentions, that I haven't mentioned.

Here's the deal.........I am a morning person.  I "love, love, love!" the mornings.......great cup of coffee, quiet mornings and "look out day".....here I come.  I function best in the mornings, brain is fresh and rested and I'm ready.  I love to get things done early.   But you see, my routine has changed and I'm having some difficulty in adjusting my day. 

I have become more aware of  "needful" quiet time with the Lord  before I blast off into the business of the day.  I have been reading through the Bible.  Finished the New Testament first and now way into the Old Testament.  Found out recently that the books of our Bible are not in chronological order, some overlap - written same time period but different authors and thus do have repetition, but still have some great "nuggets" of inspiration for today woven in.   So, to make a long story short or longer.....whichever.  I have made a commitment to stay off the computer til I get home in the afternoons, or until later in the morning if I have a late start or day off.   But by the time I get home I'm usually out of inspiration, so I'm adjusting.

The last few weeks, since I came back from  California I have been over my head in completing a scrapbook photo album for Stayton's birthday and I couldn't even blog about that (it was a secret)  Lisha & I started it last May for Stayton's graduation party.  I took the whole works with me to California and we spent a whole day working thru it.  It was so much fun to spend the day "scrapping" together and pulling ideas....I still had his Senior year and graduation to complete in time for our family get together on May 8th.
I was up til 11:00 p.m. putting the finishing touches on it.  It turned out really good and he loved it.

I will post some birthday updates.......May is exhausting keeping up with all of them, add mother's day in there and our anniversary on the 26th of April....and I need to mention a special someone else in April and we have a list!!!

I'm sorry for being so late and "off" the net.........I am working on a project now that will be time consuming but something I must accomplish this year.  I thank God for my family and am so blessed to have been with so many of you in this last month.  We are in a season of "calm" and for that I say Thank You Lord.

Yeah! You finally posted something. I was wondering if you had given up. Who's the special someone else in April? Were you referring to Dad since that's your anniversary?
