"It’s important for moms to recognize that all the small successes in our days can add up to one big triumph. So on Thursday of each week, we do exactly that."
1.
It's HOT here in the mid-Atlantic. The humidity is high and the heat index hit 100 the other day. Heat and the menopausal woman are NOT the best combo in this house to say the least!
My success...I didn't complain (that particular day anyway LOL!) and I made a lovely quinoa salad with veggies that hit the spot for something cool and refreshing for dinner that met the dietary needs the family.

I have read the daily readings 3 out 4 days this week. I didn't realize how far I had fallen in my daily prayer and meditation time until I open my book and saw that it had been three WEEKS since I had read the scriptures. Not good! No wonder things have been so challenging lately. Yikes!

Summer vacation officially begins today in my house and I realized this morning that I don't really have a plan yet. Just a huge to do list for the next 10 weeks. No success here other than the recognition that I need a new daily plan and fast. Maybe that will be a success next week. I can hope and pray!
Head on over to FaithandFamilyLIVE! to read more successes. Let's encourage and support one another!
Blessings and Grace.

Yeah for no complaining Mary! I try to say "offer it up" all the time. It's not easy and I mostly don't succeed, so I love hearing when others do.
Great job, especially on #2, happens to me too and it frustrates me.
I read somewhere once, ....for a while you can last on spiritual reserves". Yep, and then all the sudden you realize...those reserves must have been used up.
I'm right there w/ you on the heat & humidity...and I'm not even menopausal yet! It really saps my energy!
Thanks for the comments on my blog! I'm glad I could help & inspire your cleaning schedule! Good luck!
Mary - as always, you make my day. Thanks for the kind words on my blog, and I love seeing what you've been up to this week. Bless you for offering it up!! I wish I was better. I have felt spiritually dry of late as well. I know it would help to get back to more reflections.
Blessings!! Thank you!
Thanks ladies! It's so wonderful to encourage each other in our daily vocations as wives and mothers no matter what season of life we are in. Your kind words have made my day!
