So I started this year off trying to blog for 31 days straight. The year is half over and I have yet to blog for 31 days straight. I have made 135 blog posts this year in my wellness blog (this blog) and I have made 22 posts in my Quilting Wannabee blog. Since the year is 365 days long I've blogged a little over a third of the time. Not too bad for a rank ametuer.
July is one of the hotter months down here in South Georgia. The gnats are out in full force as are the mosquitos. Down here they have a couple of all natural bug spray. One is No Nats and the other is No Squitos. They are basically made with essential oils. The thing is they really work. I am needing to buy more.
This year I get the first 4 days of July off. July 1st being on a Saturday, and the 4th being on Tuesday, just made sense to not start up the lines for one day. So I am getting a 4 day weekend. Plus I am getting to spend it with my grandkids.
My daughter is fighting the age old struggle of having dogs and cats. FLEAS! They have been good about giving the pets flea treatments. But one cat had kittens and well things got out of hand. The past 3 nights they have been with us while they fog and spray. Hopefully, they will be able to go home soon. I love my grandkids but I am not set up for them right now. I just didn't have any activities planned.
We are trying to plan out our Fourth of July activities right now. We want to smoke some ribs and chicken breasts. Hopefully we can find the ribs. We need to take stock of the fireworks as well. My husband is out of town this year so it's not going to be quite the same show. But we will have fun despite missing him.
Chapter 16 of the book is "Ask Yourself the Question, Will This Matter a Year from Now?" This is one I've been doing for a while. It's something I learned growing up in my church. Only we call it having an Eternal perspective. Basically how will this affect my eternal life. It's so easy to just let things go if you realize the affects are only temporary. How important is the scratch on you car going to be in a year? Right no I am listening to my grandson getting upset because his brother broke his taco shell. The same taco shell that will break when he bites into it. How many things are just that silly and we still get upset over them.
So yes, Ask yourself if it will really matter in a week, a month or a year from now. In the grand scheme of things how much does it really matter?
