Welcome back, friends. As some of you know we were “on vacation” last week! Well, let’s just say that vacation wasn’t really…..VACATION!?!
But we are back to our normal schedules this week and I think that for the most part, we have recovered!!! Not much work got done in the sense of what we had originally hoped but it was still good and profitable!!
♥♥ The Weather ♥♥
This coming week resembles more of what spring usually looks like in central NY. We will have temps in the ’40s and 50s with rain and snow. and NOT a whole lots of sun.

Gray and rain- typical March weather here. Nugget is excited though She saw her friend the resident woodchuck…She really hasn’t left her door with the windows all day.

When I plan meals for the week I always make sure there is always a pasta meal and a soup meal. I have numerous reasons for this. Top of the list is it’s economical and fast. The second reason is if I am sick or away Hubby or the kids can make it without too much thought or preparation

I am feeling really good. Working through a bunch of stuff and it has been really good. Hard but really good.

Wisdom strength and courage- that seems to be the ongoing theme for both myself and a good majority of my friends and family.
It seems like a good many of my friends are either just gone through a big life change are currently going through a big life change or are anticipating a big life change
♥♥ Today’s Devotional ♥♥
These verses have been constantly coming up over the last two weeks. I have been learning a lot about God and myself. And these verses have become such reminders …
Galatians 1:10
10 Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.
Proverbs 12:18 NLT
8 Some people make cutting remarks,
but the words of the wise bring healing.
Proverbs 4:23 NLT
Guard your heart above all else,
for it determines the course of your life.
Proverbs 15:14
A wise person is hungry for knowledge,
while the fool feeds on trash.
2 Timothy 1:7 NLT
7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity but of power, love, and self-discipline.
