Over at The Modern Mrs. Darcy, she posts about what’s saving her life during this season. It’s fun to read what’s helping her and fun to read the comments. I began a comment and it ran much longer than I intended and then I decided it might as well come over here and I’d flesh it out a bit more for a List of Ten post! Here it is, friends!
- Music wafting from the corner by my chair from a “Favorites” list on my iPodβ¦It’s a mix of gospel, contempary Christian {if that’s what you call it…I don’t know…names are funny to me..} some Celtic praise songs, a few old country favorites I listened to in the 90’s, a little Roger Miller, John Denver’s Thank God I’m a Country Boy, four songs from Chicago and a song from Jimmy Buffet, to name a few! What’s on your favorites playlist?
2. Sending happy mail to friends and people I am praying for and handlettering the addresses, using washi tape and stickers on the envelopes and using my new wax seal stamp on the back! I love the art of decorating the outside of the envelopes and the thought of landing a happy, little surprise in someone’s mailbox.
3. Planning a luncheon for March, with two dear friends to bless a group of ladiesβ¦setting a pretty table is one of my favorite things! Need someone to set up your party and let you hostess it? I’m your girl!! I love the set up.
4. Voxer. My best friend and I leave each other long messages. Sometimes listening to her messages is the only way I get my laundry folded!!! Ha! π
5. Watching Andy Griffith or the Beverly Hillbillies in the evenings with my dear man and our teen sonβ¦{and daughter when she’s home!!} And laughing hysterically at Granny! The expressions she contorts!! The fits she has! The feistiness she packs into her small frame!!
6. Encouraging texts from friends and prayer warriorsβ¦another happy day brightener! Plus, EMOJIS.
7. Flatlay photos of booksβ¦.I love creating these vignettesβ¦styling them and shooting themβ¦it’s definitely a creative outlet for me. It makes me happy to combine three things I love. Books, styling and photography!
8. Writing words, jotting in my prayer journal and a collection of pretty pens!
9. Memorizing Bible verses centered around my Focus Word for 2019 ~ Contentment! Listing the verses and reading over them every morning is life building to me. I’m really pretty bad when it comes to memorization. While I don’t have the verses perfectly committed to memory, it impacts my life and mind to read over them again and again.
10. Books and magazines, of course!!! I currently have several books in my bookstack I’ve been really looking forward too and I have slowly subscribed or been gifted several magazine subscriptions. It’s always a day brightener when a fun magazine arrives in my mailbox!
Your turn!!! I’d love to hear your list now!!!

Now that my husband received word from GM that his job is safe, I do feel much less anxious than just this morning. The ice storm today means not going out for my exercise class which was cancelled, so I am getting the chores done instead to feel productive. I plan on reading today to help relax.
It always feels good to get my house cleaned up and reading is definitely a perfect relaxation on an icy, wintery day! I hope you have a fantastic day!
