2a. with one of my favorite people…
2b. while totally rocking my unicorn laptop and tie-dye tennis shoes.
3. Finishing the rough draft of my manuscript!!!!!
4. Returning home briefly to get the whole family packed for the next adventure… which includes being bowled over by Caleb and Miah, at the door…

Some Things I Loved About Today...

1. Making a new stick family (since many of us have recently been beheaded on the back of the Nazarene Limousine)…
2. Putting together a few more sharable safety pins. If you need one, I have plenty. Apparently creativity appeals today...
3. Writing… and writing… and writing… (My latest work has reached enough words to be classified as a novel, but I’m not quite finished. Perhaps tomorrow the rough draft will be ready.)

This Quote (So timely…):

“Never annoy an inspirational author or you will become the poison in her pen and the villain in every one of her books.” –Shannon L. Alder

This Verse:

Genesis 28:15 “I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”

Some Things I Loved About Today...

1. My January soul care days have begun.  Today I wrote a rule of life for 2017 and began the process of being renewed and refreshed, planning, and vision casting.  
2. I may have accidentally booked a room that is better than I expected.  The price was right, so I went with it.  I think there may be less than four occupied rooms in this entire hotel, which is sort of weird, but I’m rolling with it.
3. Breakfast…  I am hesitant to post the picture, because it’s actually a little embarrassing, but I would like to justify this plate of food by explaining that I knew it was also going to be lunch and dinner when I brought it back to the room, this morning.
 
4. Bubbles in the whirlpool bath.  Yes, I know you’re not supposed to do this.  No, I couldn’t stop myself to save my life.  I never learn.  
5. My new eye mask that can be worn *with* my glasses.  Just a note, the warning on the package about not heating these things up for more than 15 seconds, in the microwave, is solid advice…

This Quote (oddly enough, by a fictional wizard):
 
“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that” – J.K. Rowling, Dumbledore

These Verses:

Psalm 20:4, “May he give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed” (NIV).
Hebrews 11:11 “… because she considered him faithful who had made the promise” (NIV).

4. Taking my first elevator selfie of the year

These Verses:

Number 6:24-26, “The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace” (NIV).
