Gardening Could Be The Hobby That Helps You Live To Be 100! – I have always enjoyed gardening or working in the yard. After my first husband died, my mom encouraged me to get more help. Either get a full-time housekeeper or get someone to do your yard work. She told me to pick the one that brought me the most joy and hire out the rest. I hired the housekeeper. I LOVE to mow the yard!! We are in the process of building a raised bed garden here in New Mexico. I hope I can share pictures of it in the spring. I also hope that it helps us both live to be 100!!

Estate Information– No one wants to think about the death of someone they love. Believe me, I know, I’ve lived it!! But, everyone in the family needs to know final wishes. I certainly wish my late husband and I would have talked about it more than we did. This is a great resource for estate planning, probating a will, and trusts.
Between 65 and Death – I’m about 10 years away from 65, but this list of how to live during these years really spoke to me. What great advice!!

| I love this quote from Beth Moore’s new book. I don’t in any form consider myself an “influencer” as we see now on Instagram!! I just hope and pray the some of what I put out in the world resonates with other women who are in the same stage of life as me!! We all have influence… I sure do want mine to be positive!! |
How Steinbeck used the diary as a tool of discipline, a hedge against self-doubt, and a pacemaker for the heart of creative work– Wow!! Steinbeck doubted himself? This article is fascinating to me!! My favorite quote from the article
“It stands, above all, as a supreme testament to the fact that the sole substance of genius is the daily act of showing up.”

| This is my reality at my house in Texas right now. Sadly, the color of shingles that I agreed on with my contractor is a lot lighter than either of us thought they would be. I was so sick at first when I found out. The old me would have been upset to no end. I finally told myself that I cannot control this!! I can only control my response to it. I wasn’t going to be rude to my contractor. I wasn’t going to let it ruin my life… Life goes on. I will learn to live with this new color!!! |
Every book of the Bible in one word– I loved looking at this. It takes the major theme from each book of the Bible and condenses it into one word!! It’s worth printing out and hanging on to it!! I have this in my bible now.
