Today I will choose joy

I am the kind of person who always has too much to do, overcommits and wants to spend important time with people I love.  That's what my day looked like today.  My schedule today:

7:00 Wake up

8:00 Breakfast at Sideboards with Tom

9:00 head home

10:00 Get hair colored

12:00 head to Thrift store to see if I can find any last minute linens for Craft Day tomorrow 

1:00 Drop Bailey and her friends to Sideboards for lunch. Go back home to get Cali for lunch. (I had the wrong car today for lots and lots of girls.)

1:45 Stop by Brittny's house to drop off her phone that she left at my house the day before, invite her to lunch with me and Cali

2:00 Lunch with Cali, Brittny and Chloe

3:00 Back home so Cali can get ready for dance

3:40 Take Cali to dance

4:00 Pick up extra sewing machine at Julie's house

4:30 Grab Coffee (I'm gonna need it to get everything ready for tomorrow)

5:00 Pick up Cali from dance head home

In between the above schedule, I squeezed in some work emails and paperwork, started my first stocking sample, took pictures for a future blog and now (7:34 PM - now 9:01 PM because my internet is having issues) writing this post. PHEW!  Almost done.  I just have to take Cali's friend home at 10:00 PM and finish setting out items for tomorrow.  

As I look at this schedule, I think wow, no wonder I am tired.  

But, I must say, today was a great day.  

I feel good in my soul.  

Tom and I snuck out early this morning and had coffee.  We like to do this.  It is our date time.  I am so grateful that I love spending time with my husband.

I know I complain about all the driving I do, but I really love the time I get to spend with my two youngest (plus friends).  Not much longer and they will be driving themselves and this precious alone time will be gone.  I love impromptu lunches and any time I can spend with Brittny and Chloe.

I am preparing, organizing, creating, and planning for tomorrow.  Some wonderful people will gather in my home to spend their time creating for others who are in need.  

I love this.  

I love having people in my home, 

I love creating for others, 

I love doing things that matter.

Today is a good day.

xoxo,
