Things I learnt in September

September was a time to reflect:

1- I need to slow down when I feeling sick( Duhh). I am not the first mom and won't be the last to overstretch herself. However, I am now making a conscientious choice to slow down and be present in the moment.

2- Read, read and write.... Yes, I need something else than just Homeschooling and the family will be better for it:)

3-Pray and exercises are precious moment not to be ignore. Busy schedule, school to teach, kid activities can take over . I noticed a difference when I take the time to pray and walk, my children might even join me.

4- Finally, it is not easy to reach out to people but like the old song says" It is a beautiful world "

Smile!

A bientot !

Things I learnt in July

1-Mail please? At the creation of Huntsville in Alabama, habitants used to have to read the newspaper to learn if they had mail. The post-office was founded much latter.

2-Missed opportunities: it is so sad to think that sometimes we miss opportunities to express our gratitude, love before it is too late.

3- How productive are you and does it matter in front of God? on going conversation...

4- After being disappointed in my last two reads, I am changing strategy and I am going to tackle a list of the greatest work( fiction and non-fiction) this one : http://thegreatestbooks.org/ This is a personal challenge however if you want to join me ,leave a comment.

5- May your morning be bright and beautiful!

refurnish your sink

When we moved into our new house, I loved our custom sink . What I didn't love was that it was 20 years old , all scracht up and almost impossible to replace. The easiest solution was to have it refurbished. This has to be done by professional. A porceleine sink will first be sanded , then painted, holes,scratches will be putted. The last step is to seal the sink. The area has to be protected and well aired. The result is stunning. Before:
After:

This process avoids complication one can encountered to changed a custom sink. It is well worth it.

What I learned in May

I found this reflection very helpful to be close to God. Fr Leo talks about the 5 C :content(faith), conflict( doing his will and not ours), conversation( God is in us , we are never alone), cooperation( with our Lord, I am alive in Him) and contribution( I will bring something of him into the world). Let's write an unfinished symphony!

A bientot
