Ave Maria

Lyrics:
Ave Maria, gratia plena.
Maria, gratia plena
Maria, gratia plena
Ave, ave dominus,
Tecum.
Benedicta tu in mulieribus,
Et benedictus
Benedictus fructus ventris tui
Ventris tui, Jesus.
Ave Maria.

Sancta Maria,
Ora pro nobis,
Nobis peccatoribus,
Nunc et in hora
Mortis nostrae.
Ave Maria

(I froze my leftover stew from Tuesday. Thaw & pour left over stew in a casserole dish, mix up your favorite boxed cornbread and spread on top of the casserole, bake according to the cornbread recipe on box. This works well with leftover chili also).

Make it simple

When organizing your home, don't try to make great complex plans. Keep it simple. Also, keep in mind your own personal style. If you are the type of person that can't bring yourself to hang up every item of clothing, or coats, then don't. Find a plan that will work. Put hooks on your doors. Sure beats seeing the stuff on the floor.

Also, if you hate to wash lots of pots and pans then don't buy so many. Plan menus around one pot, or make crockpot meals. Donate some of your pots and pans and keep just one of each size.

Avoid clutter by bringing home less! When you are shopping, even at a yard sale, ask yourself if you are willing to clean up after 'it,' store, 'it,' wash 'it,' etc. If not, then put it back.

Keep things where it will be easiest to get and to store. Take for example your bills, if you are the filing type, the file away. If you are the toss in a pile type, then get a plastic bin and only allow bills in that bin.

Blessed are those with work to do, and the ability to do it!

Without love, deeds, even the most brilliant, count as nothing. ~ of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux

When you have to wipe up that extra spill today, or you stumble over yet another book bag, just keep our lovely, St. Thérèse in mind and do the deed with love.

Positive Diet

I had a crazy dream about dieting. I keep taking away this and that from my diet and it seems to be so negative. Well I awoke with the idea of having a POSITIVE +++ diet!

Instead of thinking about taking away, think about adding to. Add more fruits and vegetables. Add more exercise. Add more water. You get the idea...

OK so it's not the newest greatest thing going, but perhaps a new attitude regarding these things will help make them easier to do. Just a thought!
