Your honesty is welcome. This year along with the signs of spring I am also feeling the feelings of a new awakening in myself. A refreshment like. That is good. I feel the past is more in the past than ever too. <br />With our still full pantry we are also only getting what is needed and planning and using the older things. This makes for a low grocery budget and a happy heart. It is a lift for my spirit too to get the pantry more in line with our lives now. Lighten it in some places and broaden it in others. With just the two of us mainly now we need different things stored. It has gotten me back into old cookbooks to see where I can use up some of the things and refresh our meals too. The Suzy Homemaker in me is a happy gal !! :-) <br />Lately I have picked up several new bracelets and earrings. Luckily some were even half off. Clothes and looks are becoming more important than they had been. That also makes me feel like myself again. God granted a week of cool weather here this week. What a blessing to return to cool again before the summer heats up and stays hot. Such grace.<br />You have got me thinking of how I can save time in one hour working area to use better another place. Cooking and kitchen chores do take up so much of each day don't they. I enjoy doing it all but sometimes am drained after a long day. I get cranky knowing so many more things have to be done before I can sit down and relax. If I could plan out some of these better perhaps I could spare myself and my husband my cranky side!! :) I really feel like a fool when my cranky "I need a nap" cranky 6 year old side comes out. :-))) I can see some light in that area coming out too. This is going to be a good year I think!! I hope your new vacuum and sewing machine work out for you.

It was a good message and something we should all watch out for. I'm so glad you are willing to help others by writing about it.<br /><br />By the way you I found I can not stop my husband from going to the grocery store when he wants to buy either!<br />Vickie @Vickie's Kitchen and Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03402367232977896594noreply@blogger.com
