My beautiful Sara Chair I bought with birthday money from my mom Destruct-o Deer strike again...wrecked the electric fence. (grumble, grumble...) Cute garden raider "Everybody wants to be a cat..." (Sara is singing that song, from The Aristocats, at our homeschool co-op's talent show this December). And here are my new LG washer and dryer set. Who knew laundry could be so much fun? They are fabulous (email me privately, if you want details), and no more annoying beeps—they sing to you when they are done! A wonderful birthday present from my husband, even if they are utilitarian. :)

He Loves Me {My Epiphany}

It occurred to me today how much I want to be right. Not in a one-up-you or I-have-all- the-answers way; but in the way I do life. I always want things nailed down and to have a list to follow, so I am sure to do "it" right, whatever "it" may be at any given moment.

You see, I have always had this idea that my goal of wanting to "do right" was good, and that I was at

Victory Over the Smallness of Life {or What Keeps You from Sweating the Small Stuff}

It's the small things in life that tend to pull us down. Big things are hard, and they hit hard; but small things accumulate, and then you feel yourself dragging through your days . . . The kids are crabby and constantly bickering with each other. The new washing machine has a puddle of soapy water under it (and it hasn't lived in your house for a month yet). Someone makes a harsh comment or judges you unfairly. Your MRI says your rotator cuff isn't torn, but your arm hurts like a toothache, and your neck hurts from only sleeping on your right side. Your car needs service because there's a light showing on the dash. There is never any down time because it feels like it always piles up and you never get to sort it all out... That is when the enemy strikes. He wants to drown you with discouragement and fill you with grumbling and complaining. How do you fight it?
