It’s Monday and I am ready to go.
My dear and amazing husband, gave me a day off yesterday. I got to go do what I wanted, come and go as I pleased and not worry about anything at home, or the kids, or cleaning and getting ready for church or doing anything but play. I finished work on some photo edits on Sat. and turned the computer off. I didn’t even look at my “to do” list yesterday. I went for a dive, I went and saw a movie by myself. I turned the phone off, I went “dark” as my brother says, which is a navy term meaning you can’t be found. It was crazy. I feel re-energized.
I don’t do that enough. I need to go back to the way we lived our life 5 years ago. We scheduled out silent retreats, and alone time, and date nights and weekends away. Shoot, Dallas Willard schedules that stuff out for 5 years in advance so NOTHING ever comes in the way of it. Having a hour break during the day where the kids and I all have alone time, and set standard bedtimes are good at keeping you sane day to day, but they don’t do what they need in terms of deeper soul care. God is all over me about that right now.
I did start to do the blog redesign and as I stated I love/hate css. When you crack it you love it, when you inadvertently erase some bracket or essential word like <center> and don’t know where it is at or how the heck to get it back, then you have a jacked up tool bar like you see to the right, or should I say the very bottom of this screen, you HATE it. Note to self, copy all the code on a note-page before you begin fiddling with the original so if you mess up you can fix it quickly. Oh well, I will figure it out…one of these days. I also started to upload new WP software, and design some new headers. FYI - I am so NOT feeling the one above, but it will have to do for now.
Grace and Peace to all wanna be web designers today. Seriously, if I could just get over the need to conquer this, I would hire this mess out, because the fun of it was lost on me about 36 hours ago. Don’t worry, I will move through that eventually and will most likely say in the next post at how enriching the whole dang experience was after all.
I’m out! Paz all!
