AUTHOR: Monica Lee TITLE: new notes DATE: 7:55 AM ----- BODY:

So I have been busy playing around with new art, new things I would want to buy and see if i where out shopping. I have been fashioning these wellies that I created into note cards, then I couldn't figure out if it was just the fact that I have been traveling to Europe alot. Is everyone into wellies, or is it just me? Oh well! Do what you love, right? So I have been enjoying Tom's blog, eating ripe tomatoes off my vine and stressing about my schedule a bit. Tom reminded me to take joy in all things (including my work-childcare schedule). !@#$%^&**! Joy was Joel Osteens message this week-the very message that Tom slept through and I recapped over coffee when he woke up! Take joy in all things, even the stuff you don't like and complain about, retrain yourself to enjoy your commute, your in-laws, your job etc. It is great to really get this message into your spirit. Of course, I had to take joy in my husband (grumble) trying to explain it to me before I have finished my first cup of joe this morning! Nothing like hearing a message and being challenged right away! I can do it! Joy in all things....geez, even laundry?!
