A Day Of Rest

I always dream big! I had the idea last night that I would venture out of the house today and go to church. My friend from high school, (Jackie) who still lives in my old neighborhood, sent out an invitation to a BBQ at her home this afternoon. I figured that I would just go over there (Gary is doing the driving, of course!) after church.

I awoke this morning in a good deal of pain, and took my painkillers (see yesterday's blog), ate some breakfast, and fell asleep in the rocker in the living room. Gary woke me so I could go back to bed. I slept until about 2:00 in the afternoon! (must have needed it) So much for my big plans.

So, after sleeping, I worked on my computer for a time creating cards with my new program. It takes my mind off EVERYTHING ELSE. I never did get a chance to Skype with Tacy. :( Fiona keeps insisting on sleeping...just like Grandma.)

Christy Holt came by to visit this evening, and that was very pleasant. She is such a sweet person, and I enjoy her company.

Today being Sunday, I thought I'd share something of value. I have a book called, "You Can't Afford the Luxury of a Negative Thought" by John Roger & Peter McWilliams:


"Most people live,

whether physically,

intellectually or morally,

in a very restricted circle of

their potential being.

They make use of a very

small portion of

their possible consciousness,

and of their soul's

resources in general,

much like a man who,

out of his whole

bodily oranism,

should get into a habit of

using and moving only

his little finger.

Great emergencies and crises

show us how much greater

our vital resources are than

we had supposed."


William James


I wish you had a wonderful Sunday, and of course, a Happy Fourth of July tomorrow!


Love you All!


Mary
