Saturdays....No longer are they going to be the lazy day, where I sleep till noon, and then lay around the house and do nothing. I'm tired of saving all my house cleaning, grocery shopping and weekly cooking for Monday. I'm tired of feeling like I never get all my weekend list done, tired of playing catch up during the week, leaving me feeling frazzled and feeling unorganized! I'm fasting from TV right now, and I figured it would open up more time for me, it really hasn't. At least none that I have been able to use wisely. I definitely need to be a better steward of my time.
Last Saturday, Zena and I went to Thunderbird Conservation Park and hiked H-2. We had fun and I was totally exhausted. Today, I took Addie hiking at North Mountain, and we did the full trail, up the paved path and down the rock on the other side of the mountain. She practically pulled me . I know she had fun, but I have a sneaky suspicion that if she were given the option to run up and down, she would be ecstatic. She was still full of energy so I took her to the park to run it off a bit more, then we headed home.
After my hike with Zena last Saturday, I came home and slept for 4 hrs. Today I refuse to sleep all day so busying myself with chores, first I gave all the dogs a bath, then I got one :). They are not fans of this change, but they smell lovely!
Hope you enjoy the pics of our adventure today. Addie didn't really want to stand/sit still for a pic, and well me, I've never been photogenic.
Good thoughts, Dolly. I think being a good steward of our time is as important as being a good steward of other things that get a bit more notoriety. It's hard to break habits in how we spend our time. I grew up without TV, had it when we first got married, put it away for about 10 years, got it out again and how haven't watched for the last 2 1/2. I've decided the time it steals is a bit sneaky. The biggest difference is in my spiritual walk ... no "entertainment" input, which seems to be a part of everything (even the news) has allowed me to focus during the day on prayer concerns, etc. I guess I'm less distracted. Anyway ... just some thoughts at 12:41 AM while I'm waiting for the cookies for Sunday School treats to finish baking. (I guess I should really think of it as 1:42 AM since it's daylight savings in an hour or so.) There goes the dinger ... off to bed. Take care. :-)
