Do You Blog Even When You're Uninspired?

I don't usually, but I am today.  I seem to be in a slump lately. My passion for homemaking and my hobbies seems to be in hiding right now.  I know what you're probably thinking, but it's not depression.  I still have that joy deep inside. 

I think I know what my problem is, and I'll whisper it to you ~ it's hormones. 

Shh! Don't tell anyone, they might think I'm not perfect.

Anyway, while I find my balance, I'll enjoy the simple pleasures of life; a beautiful new season wrapped in my sweet hubby's arms.

I'll treat myself to some (very little) of my long forgotten pleasures.

I've been craving some, and finally gave in. :)

And I'll enjoy time out with my friends.

Sunshine for My Day!

I enjoy taking my little Maggie dog on my daily walks. 

She gives me a good reason to talk and sing out loud.

And with rain sprinkling on our walk yesterday, 

it just brought a song out of me that I learned in church when I was a little girl.

I sung all the way to the end of our lane and back:

When He Put a Little Sunshine In

         by Albert E. Brumley

All the world is bright and cheery   And I'm singing ev'ry day,

In the place of burdens dreary,  I sing a joyful lay;

For He put a ray of gladness   Where the sorrow once had been,

Since Jesus took my heart all to pieces 

And put a little sunshine in.

All the clouds have silver linings,  Not a shadow is in sight,

Not a tho't of sad repining,   The way is always bright;

I was lost in sin and darkness   But the way is bright again,

Since Jesus took my heart all to pieces

And put a little sunshine in.

So I press along rejoicing   On the blessed glory road,

And I know that my Redeemer   Will share my ev'ry load;

I am singing hallelujah   For my soul is free from sin,

Since Jesus took my heart all to pieces

And put a little sunshine in.

Chorus:

When Jesus took my heart all to pieces

And put a little sunshine in,

He put a little joy and gladness

Where sadness once had been,

He gave a little love and glory

And took away the doubt and sin,

When Jesus took my heart all to pieces

And put a little sunshine in.

 

I wish you a sunny day today, my friend!

What's making you happy today?

I'm counting my blessings today. 

And you are one of them. 

Thank you for stopping by. 

Your comments make me so happy.

Friends

My chores are all done for the day (except cooking supper) and I'm meeting my girlfriends for lunch.

There are four or five of us that meet most Thursdays at Subway for Chatter Therapy.

One of the group calls us The Hormone Club.

I think we need to come up with a happier name,

like maybe The Cheerleader Club!

 



I think I'm going to like to today...

                                               ...I think I'll call it fine

                       I'll wrap it in ribbons, and make it mine.        

I think I'm going to like today,

It's very plain to see, I like every minute, and it likes me.

~from a song by Mr. Fred Rogers~

There's nothing like a day out in the work world to make me appreciate my peaceful stay-at-home life.

I'm filling my mind with happy thoughts today while I hang out the laundry...

... and enjoy some time outdoors on this beautiful day.

I'm the Teacher!?

I have my very first Substitute Teaching assignment today!  I'm teaching fourth grade and I'm excited AND nervous!
