Making Time on a Budget


             Most of us think of a budget as our household expenses, and as true as that is, we also must budget other things, time being one of them! Life these days seem to zip by faster than a zip line, too fast for me so I must budget my time better! I used to go around like a bullet but not accomplishing much, with more projects started than completed, and I hate that, seems like a waste of time, and I hate waste even more! So, thanks to my wounded knee, I'm learning to do things slower, put them in proper order and only tackle what I can handle! One project at a time...let's hope!

     I love the life I've been gifted, every minute of it and am so thankful for all my blessings. I'm applying my gratitude to the applications of life that mean the most to me: family, faith, home, friends and flowers! Yes, flowers, because without their beauty what proof do we really have? They are like little reminders that if we feed our souls with the right care, we too shall bloom like perennials!

     Now onto the winner of my Christmas in July giveaway, a tad late but the winner has been notified and if you need a nudge of inspiration, check out the winner's blog: Roxy from Living from Glory to Glory is a sweet source for just that, a nudge in the right direction! Plus, her recent post is all about aprons!!  Congrats Roxy and I hope you will enjoy your Christmas trinkets! Can you believe the end of the year is a mere 5 months away! No better time than now to budget, everything!

  2. you have to slow down to enjoy your time...Your knee reminds me what the Lord say's about making good things happen from bad things. I am sure you are going to see and experience a lot of new and good things while slowed down.:)

  4. Hi friend Sue,
    I would do well to follow your example. ~smile~

    Will you do me a favor please?

    I noticed that you still have my old blog listed on your sidebar. I hardly ever use that anymore.

    Could you please change it to http://harvestlanecottage.blogspot.com ? I would really appreciate it. You can change it to Harvest Lane Cottage or leave it as Laura of Harvest Lane Cottage, whichever you prefer.

    I'd really appreciate it. I know we share many of the same readers. Blessings to you and get well soon!

  5. Hey Sue,
    Thanks for the sweet Promo, I will send it right back to you!
    Looking forward to my surprise gift.
    Your shed must be a special part of your whole yard and garden area.
    I agree about what you said of the flowers. Because it seems to be the one amazing thing that screams I AM God! Well maybe puppies nd babies and ect. Okay you get the picture!
    Blessings, Roxy
