And off we go...m

my husband left this morning at 11:00 with his best friend to go to a car auction. I know he will be drinking.

I will stick to my plan.

I am off to clean my bedroom closet.

I will NOT get sucked in. I will KEEP my mouth shut.

I WILL have a good day.

Jenny

Way to go, Jenny.

His choices, his consequences. And that works for you too - choose some really good things today. Cleaning is a good thing for the soul, I find.

(((hugs)))

yes, cleaning is good. Can be a sense of accomplishment, especially if you can listen to some good music while doing so. I have three favorite CD's right now that I rotate while I am cleaning, and they are very inspirational... Higher Power - God music!

Mercy Me
Third Day
Big Daddy Weave

Christian Rock Music - very very very good. Always helps make the moment a little more peaceful and comforting. Helps me get out of myself and my A for a little while too.

Here are the words to Big Daddy Weave's YOU IN ME...

Up tight, down right
Wound up like a spring
Funny how I worry ’bout what just don't mean a thing
But then that’s when
You speak Your truth to me
You say things aren't what they seem
This life's not what it seems
And it changes

I’m in less of a hurry
I’m less likely to worry
When in my heart I receive
Thoughts of my eternal destiny
I’ve given up frustration
Trust You with out hesitation
But my mind just can't conceive
That it must be the You in me Lord

I tried till I cried
To bring about some change
But in spite of all the work
My efforts were in vain
I guess for this mess
I’m the one to blame
Cause when I’m trusting You
My life's just not the same
I’m different now

No matter what my present situation
I need to give it all to You.



And, I couldn't resist this one too. Big Daddy Weave's FIELDS OF GRACE...

"There's a place that I love to run and play
There's a place that I sing new songs of praise

Dancing with my Father God in fields of Grace

There's a place that I lose myself within
There's a place I find myself again

Dancin with my Father God in fields of Grace

There's a place where religion finally dies
There's a place that I lose my selfish pride

Dancin with my Father God in fields of Grace

I love my Father, my Father loves me
I dance for my Father, my Father sings over me
and nothing can take that away from me

Dancin with my Father God in fields of Grace"
