Things in life that were obstacles and achievements. I do so miss the time to just feels at peace. For me the best 'quite time' around my household is at the end of the day when everyone has gone to bed. A time to reflect upon the day.<BR/><BR/>One thing I've found that helps simplify my life.... silly but it works for us is that some days I make several meals at once. I also make an absurd amount for a family of 4. BUT I split everything up into sectional freezer bowls and create homemade tv dinners. Mix and match so that a few days out of the week I have a mental and physical break from the kitchen .... and time for me.Scrappy Doo 2 uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16454448020497836379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3277866575549932665.post-76029351169377754352009-03-13T07:27:00.000-07:002009-03-13T07:27:00.000-07:00For me, Lent is a time to slow down; meditate &...For me, Lent is a time to slow down; meditate & journal more. I usually work on being more at peace with myself. This year seems to be "flying by". One thing I have told everyone close to me is that from 2:00-3:00 each afternoon is NAP TIME ! I take alot of meds that bring on fatigue. I have learned this is a good time--about 1 hr. before my piano students come. I usually use 1/2 hr-1 hr. before that to journal (or 1/2 hr. before they come). On days my husband is away, I use the mid-morning for prayer, meditation, and journaling/correspondence.<BR/><BR/>I am simplifying my life right now by cleaning out, thowing out, giving away, and organizing my bathroom. My morning routine is pretty simple & quick during the week, but I find it is easy to collect stuff (gifts from kids, usually) and run out of space.<BR/><BR/>Have a sunny Friday everyone!

There are downfalls to it too, but... I think it is worth it to me at the moment. <BR/><BR/>Other things that I am doing to simplify my life, is i am planning... a ton of things. Also making decisions... but they are hard ones so it is definitely taking some time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16919079134282687094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3277866575549932665.post-35797163049946660322009-03-12T05:28:00.000-07:002009-03-12T05:28:00.000-07:00My whole life its been drilled into me that this n...My whole life its been drilled into me that this needs to be in the morning, but I have found a different rhythm and I'm now comfortable with it. Upon waking I immediately pray about whatever God brings to mind, giving Him the day and declaring in Him it will be good. It is usually at night or in the late afternoon that I TAKE the time for bible reading and reflection. This works better with my brain!Mindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02955272668964322627noreply@blogger.com
