Busy as a Bee

Photobucket

I took this photo quite a few years ago.  I'm so tired of winter and long for warm weather, flowers and sunshine so I'm staring longingly at this picture.  I posted it though because I have been so busy lately and I feel like this bee, flitting from one thing to the next.

I'd love to do nothing but sit on the computer and work on my book, but there are so many things around here that I need to focus on as well.   

♥ There are meals to make.

♥ A daughter that must be educated.

♥ A house to clean.

♥ An Easter egg hunt and craft day to plan.  Can you believe that Easter is only a week and a half away?  We got a snow storm last night so we'll have to see how this egg hunt plays out for Saturday the 30th.  :-)

♥ Thank you notes to write.  God has blessed us in so many ways lately and from the most unexpected places. 

 ♥ Crafts to sew.

 ♥ Church work to be done.

 Like I said, busy ~ busy ~ busy!

 One of the things I did manage to do the past few days is set up a website for my book.  I'm so excited and feel like pinching myself a couple of times a day! lol

 It is still a work in progress, but so far I'm pleased.   Here is the link...

 Terri Groh, Author

I have a blog tour coming up the first few weeks of April, with different bloggers reviewing the book or allowing me to be a guest blogger.  I will list those blogs and dates next week.  Lots of exciting things happening.

I hope you are all having a blessed day!

    So excited for you Terri. I'm the same way, there are a couple of projects I would like to focus primarily on, but my husband and children seem to think they need to eat everyday, have clean clothes and some of my attention. What's up with that? :-)
    God does give us passions to glorify Him, praying for you as you seek to honor Him in everything and balance.

    Terri, Our Pastor quoted the Bible on Sunday...."Be still and know I am God". Then he said, "It's not be 'busy' and know I am God". :-)

    I am so happy that you are doing some things for yourself. I know you are happy that you are working on something you have really wanted to do for a long time. Way to go, girlfriend.

      Don't worry; I have my moments of stillness too, Debbi. :-) This is a good busy because I'm doing exactly what I know God has called me to do so there is a peace in it! Have a blessed day.

Oh What to Do; I'm Sixty-Two!

Today is my sixty-second birthday and it's hard to believe I've achieved that....um....seasoned age! My first thought this morning was one of not being sure that I like it. However,  as I thought I about it, I decided to take joy in the fact that I've reached an older age. Because age comes with benefits. Benefit #1 - I'm a bit wiser.   When I look back at some of the decisions I made when I was younger, I cringe. With age has come the ability to slow down and think things through before I make major upheavals in my life. I've also discovered that getting worked up about certain things is just an absolute waste of emotional energy. Benefit #2 - I'm enjoying my life.   As I've aged I've learned all kinds of skills and hobbies and can honestly say that I'm never, ever bored. I love all the different things I'm able to do and it's fun! Benefit #3 - I've learned to appreciate my relationships. With age I've learned to work on developing a...

Eating to Live

  Despite the unexpected busyness and interruptions, I have been plugging away at my weight loss as well as writing the plant-based, whole food cookbook. Recipe testing fell by the wayside the past two weeks, but I've still gotten a good chunk of the book done. I also got on the scale this morning for another one pound loss which makes a total of 61 lbs. since I started this journey back in July. It's second nature at this point and I have so much more energy and feel healthy. The only negative is that because I've lost so much weight I'm seeing some sagging, crepe-papery skin happening. Yuck. Some of that is age and I need to figure out some toning exercises. It's definitely a life-style change, but a positive one which I'm so thankful I started on. The pictures above are a small selection of meals I've eaten the past two months and many of those will be included in the book.  This will be a printable e-book as I find that will be the easiest and most cost ...

When the Unexpected Pops Up

On Thursday afternoon, just as Dan and I were getting ready to leave for a meeting, we received a phone call from our son. He was sitting on the side of the road with a blown engine in his car. The problem is he lives 3 1/2 hours away. After back and forth phone calls he called a tow truck and got it towed to a garage. He ended up renting a car and headed here for the holiday. We've been working with him to figure out his next steps because he still owes thousands of dollars on the car which will also take a significant amount to replace the engine. His rent is going up in the new year. His seasonal job ended and he is trying to find something else, but needs a car for that to happen. His car still has not been looked at by the mechanic. It is all more than a little overwhelming. Long story short, we extended an invitation for him to live here temporarily so he can get out from under all of this. It would save him money on expensive rent and utilities.  The timing was right since h...
