Small Successes and Thankful Thursday

"It’s important to recognize that all the small successes in our days can add up to one big triumph. So on Thursday of each week, we do exactly that."

1. Well, this has been one of those busy weeks. I've blogged little, but have managed to post a thought that keeps me going, or an quick update - just for the sake of some escape time for me and record for my family. I still feel torn sometimes, me time vs being there for the family. I hope to catch up reading others as well. I love seeing new crafts, comedic timing, daily life, and inspiration I get from so many.

2. We had a tree (make that a tall, tall pine) crack and begin to lean. Hubby wanted to take care of it, but somehow it just escaped his mind last week, and with the godbaby's birth I lost track of the days and when I saw it and was reminded - I jumped into action! After a few days of estimates, I got many more yesterday and found the right (I hope) team for the job. They take it down today. It needs to come now - one more storm or day of windy gusts would, and that would be scary!

3. Despite our nutty schedules lately, I managed to attend a mom's night out on Tuesday. It was nice being with creative friends being creative! I'm a blessed woman!

Just a side note. With our business and crazy schedules, I've been tired. Tired makes my moods wonky, and I can feel my faith, focus, and moods just swing. I hope to get more rest this week. Something hit me this morning when doing some inspirational reading, It's funny - but I miss all the Lenten updates. I got a lot from reading them. I think I can actually say I miss Lent. How funny in these 50 days of Easter and celebration. But, I started my blog during Lent, and got fed from so many activity ideas for my family and for me and I rather miss it :)
