Getting Ready

This is a busy day, but I'm excited for it.

I'm still carrying joy and laughter with me.

I'm understanding what it means that I am deeply loved by God and by many very special people.

I'm sitting here, with some newly purchased worship music cranked up on the stereo, and getting ready for the day.

I'm learning that the little things, the self-pampering things are worth doing.

Rubbing sweet smelling cream on dry skin.

Making my hair look beautiful (to me anyway!).

Painting the toenails.

Picking clothes that make me feel good about how I look.

I feel shallow admitting that I care about those things. (There are so many things I care much more about.) But I have to tell you, if I feel beautiful, then it's a whole lot easier for me to face the day.

So, I'm off to finish pampering myself, and to get ready for church, and then to head into the day.

I have errands to do.

I'm going to hit up a second hand shop this afternoon and see if I can find some pants and capri's for work.

I'm teaching Sunday school.

I need to buy flowers for my grandma and make Mother's Day cards for my grandma and my mom (since I forgot to buy them yesterday!).

We have an extended family party tonight - Mother's Day and two birthdays.

And then, I have to pick my roommate up at the airport late tonight.

(I bought some really fun new clothes yesterday... I might take some pictures and post them later...)

See you around!

and...

Happy Mother's Day!
