"Tea to the English is really a picnic indoors."

Alice Walker

Monday Musings... wisdom

"She is clothed with strength and dignity;

she can laugh at days to come.

She speaks with wisdom,

and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

She watches over the affairs her household

and does not eat the bread of idleness.

Her children arise and call her blessed:

her husband also, and he praises her."

Proverbs 31: 25 - 28 

Friendship Friday

"There is wisdom in having multi-generational friendships. We can all attest to the benefits of having friends that are in similar seasons and life stages as us but to only have friends in those categories limits your maturity. You NEED women who have been there, done that because they see things that you can't. They know what you are learning. They've prayed what you're praying. They've walked through what your stumbling over. If you want to live wisely, attach yourself to women that have lived way longer than you and watch what happens. You'll become the woman you've been praying to be.

Jackie Hill Perry

To women who are older... we need young women in our lives... We need fresh eyes... we need a different perspective ... we need to listen with humility to their questions... we  might offer advice with humility... we need each other. 

Thrifty Thursday

"It's smart to be thrifty."

Bernice Fitz-Gibbon

1894 - 1982

I think it is  ironic that Bernice Fitz Gibbon  a member of the Advertising Hall of Fame coined  this sage advise"It's smart to be thrifty" regarding the benefits of being thrifty. She created this phrase while employed at Macy's in New York City.   She was a genius in marketing and advertising.

As I scroll through my Instagram feed, I see  people who regret some of their online purchases. QVC and Home Shopping Network are just two examples of how some folks are making decisions regarding purchases.

For me, I am finding treasures in my closet. Wow... I can wear this or that... at other times, I see things are new and  need to be given away. I am also discovering craft projects that need to be finished.

In this time of quarantine what are you discovering? Perhaps you have unearthed pictures that need to be mailed, notes that need to be written or items that may be donated.  One of my friends has decided to offer a traveling library.  She takes pictures of her available books and  offers to deliver them. I think she is giving them away. What a clever idea! 😃Two friends are making face masks and giving them away.

On being ordinary ...

"All of God's people are ordinary people 

who have been made extraordinary by 

the purpose he has given them."

Oswald Chambers

Tasty Tuesday

In recent days, we have heard that fast food restaurants are experiencing shortages of ground beef. In addition, some grocery stores  are limiting the packages of meat that patrons may purchase. Have you experienced any dilemmas while you shop for food?

If you bake bread like my cousin in North Carolina, you may have experienced shortages of yeast and flour. While there in no reason to panic. I believe you might be wise to prepare.  Plan, prepare, and do not  procrastinate. While we prepare... experience joy in your daily living. Find simple ways to celebrate life. Savor each moment.  Life is a gift from God. Enjoy this gift.

Last week, my hubby celebrated had a birthday. We celebrated with a delicious dinner and an amazing birthday cake.
