Some Things Just Really Aren’t That Important…

v 007

Doesn’t it seem like there is so much to do…or is it just the time of year?  Is it a busier than usual or is it the desperation to have everything done, before the first snow? Did I just leave everything ‘til the last minute?  I don’t think so…I think I plan ahead, I make notes, coordinate my time, my activities and my work…at least I think I do….then where does the time go and why does it seem like I left everything ‘til last…. 

                 v 013 

I shouldn’t really feel any pressure about anything….right?

        v 014 

If I do anything I set my mind to (be a sort of Wonder Woman)….all my work would be done…if by magic, I have more important things to do…like ride a horse…up into the wilderness (ever notice the word wild in that?), or face a demon in the eye (sit in front of that ornery computer), take my vintage lady (trailer) for a drive in the country….glampin’ or smile the day I am ‘treated’ not ‘tricked’, (Halloween) to learn that I will be a Grandma…once again!  Only then to realize I just became mush….it’s a simple word really, inert, content, blessed, joyous…all of these things…I am most of all happy!  Bless my kids and their kids!  Thank you, Lord!  One of the things I love the most….being a Grandma….Grandma K, as my dearest little man…calls me.  All the rest…doesn’t matter.

  v 010 

Some days I am just contented….

    I just became a Grandma this past March. Before being a Grandma, myself, I thought all Grandmas were crazy...yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, now I am a crazy Grandma, too! Just crazy for my little Bee.
    Congrats to you! Life is good...xo, Cheryl

    AMEN! to all of that.

    We do put so much importance on all the 'things' that need to be done, sometimes we forget what is really 'needful'.
    Sitting at Jesus feet, and enjoying the gifts of life He has given us.

    Congratulations!!
