Daily Truth

Wow! I have a bit of a break in work! I got everything done already that I could for now, so I'm just waiting for my guys to come home with the rest of the photos I have to get uploaded before the end of the month. It'll be a late night, but I'm so thankful I'm getting a break!

Have you heard of Daily Truths from the Brave Girls Club? It's a daily email I get that, that I love! It's often just what I need to hear. My very favorite one came last month, when I really needed it. It read:

Dear grateful girl,
It might seem like so much is going wrong around you, it might even be true... but there are always many many more good things to see, and wonderful things to be grateful for.

If we can get our thought to sway away from feeling lack of any kind... whether it's financial or emotional or physical, and instead focus on every little simple and beautiful and lovely thing around us... our lives can be full and abundant and joyful.

When we have difficulties finding the beauty we are looking for or wanting to focus on, we always have the ability and the choice to go out and create it.

Between the beauty and truth that is already out there to find, and what we can create... we can each find joy and strength at any time. Isn't that wonderful? Life is so good!

Have a wonderful weekend!
Xoxo

Isn't that beautiful?

During this break today, the girls asked if I would craft with them. They painted, while I scrapped, and Jake napped. I made this layout for the Studio Calico Sunday Sketch.

Some details:

Well, I had a lot of work to do today and I also have been fighting a terrible headache. But, I did chat for a little while, and tried to monitor twitter as much as possible. And I took the time to do one challenge. Studio Calico has a bunch of different challenges going on right now, and I made a page for the sketch challenge. I used a sketch based on Tina Aszmus's "Sunshine" layout.

Made with cardstock from Bazzil, patterned papers and fabRips from Studio Calico, and alphas from American Crafts and Making Memories.

This is a photo of my little guy after he spent the day on the tractor with his daddy, playing in a big box with his sister, and spending time with our entire family. That was his kind of perfect day!

Now, I am off to figure out supper, before we have to head out to a parade tonight.
