I am going to spend the morning listening to Classical Music (Canon in D), while I tidy up my house. From my kitchen, I have a clear view to the living room. Our wood stove is blazing and cozy. My diningroom table is near our built-in bookcases. Our old house is charming and pleasant.
Once I finish my housework, I will sit down in my favorite chair and work on my hand-sewing projects. I am almost finished making a special apron. It is for the winner or our first Prentiss Study. Out of 70 ladies who began the study with us, only 4 did all their assignments every- single- day for 90 days. Then one winner was selected at random for a big prize. Part of that prize was a hand -sewn apron. All I have left to do, is sew on the ties. Then I can ship the package out to her.
Once that is finished, I will make myself a pretty apron. It will be my "cheerful" apron. I will wear it on days when I am extra happy, because it is bright pink with little delicate white hearts all over it. I have the pieces all cut out and ready for me to work. I hope to start this later today.
We have some schoolwork to do this morning. I will sew while the children study. Then I will read to them while Amy makes our lunch.
I am going to make a nice, special supper tonight and I will have Amy (15) bake a chocolate cake. We will have a pleasant day at home.
I will be peaceful on purpose, because I choose to have a contented disposition!
Hope all is well with you!
Blessings,
Mrs. White
Have a wonderful day! :)

ReplyDeleteI love this quote. I find that sometimes my mood is not what it should be, so I just have to keep acting like I feel differently. Eventually, the emotions will catch up. ;)
I've been following links through your blog from one post to another. They are so encouraging. I'm going to add your link to my blog list.
