Howdy peeps!!
Happy
August!!
Dang, that came fast (August).
I'm back again (on my blog here) and working
at our new schedule and how life is changing for us with older kids.
As of today, we have 3 working kids!! And only one of them can drive. It gets tricky. But I love having older kids and all the fun
that comes with it. I feel like I'm more
one of them (at least inside I still feel juvenile), plus I get to be their
mom. There's truly no better job. And it's been WAY FUN to have the hubs around
more and working together with him. Life
is in a process of changing.
LIFE IS ALWAYS CHANGING.
It's like we put things in "order" and then chaos
comes. Then we adjust and put things in
"order" again and then chaos comes.
I'm learning that the KEY to this is being GRATEFUL for success of
creating ORDER, even though it may be briefly lived, it still happened! Then things fall out of order OR change, it
gives me a new chance to step it UP A LEVEL into a new level of ORDER!
The problem comes when I expect things to stay the
same. To stay clean, to stay organized,
to stay unbroken, for relationships to stay just right, for kids to stay
obedient and happy, ETC. But WHY am I unhappy about that? The world is
constantly changing and NOTHING stays the same.
The earth itself is always in a state of change. It's adjusting to that change and STILL
CREATING ORDER that builds character. It's
gratitude for the opportunity to create order.
I AM A BEING OF ORDER.
Even if it's just my bookshelf. Or a small area of my desk. Or one shelf in my fridge! I'm learning to start small and NOT be
discouraged when chaos comes. But see it
as an opportunity to go to the next level.
OKAY - so that's what brings me back to my blog. I am a being of ORDER. I can adjust to changes in my life. And with those changes, I can adjust to KEEP
EATING HEALTHY, and Being ACTIVE!
I've rebuilt my website:
Margene's Lean and Green's -
which I am MUCH happier about. It's
mostly for the visuals. When you click
on the pictures of the food, It will link you back to the corresponding post on
THIS BLOG that either describes that dish or gives the actual recipe. Hopefully, that is helpful to those who want
ideas for lean meals. :) I'm excited to be adding to it more as well.
There are also some cool links on the side like I have on
this blog, AND my top videos - which is super nice to have easy access to. :)
So... I'm off to creating ORDER today. I will not look at everything OUT of order,
but just focus on one small thing at a time, and get that in order. And I will find joy in every little thing I
create order with!
LIFE IS GOOD!!!

I absolutely love being a mom too. :D
ReplyDeleteI have, too, discovered that focusing on one small thing at a time, like a book shelf helps tremendously. I don't allow myself to get distracted by anything else. When that one small thing is done, I move on to another small thing and suddenly, I have a tidy house.
ReplyDeleteIt works that way for most things in life.
