The best time of day is now

The first step in overcoming procrastination is to eliminate all excuses and reasons for not taking decisive and immediate action.

The fact is, the longer we take to act on God's direction, the more unclear it becomes.

from "An Enemy Called Average"
by John L. Mason

Time well spent

Sometimes little surprises come up, but with the right attitude, and a little adjustment, things can turn out great.

We unexpectedly had our foster daughter return for a couple days, but it has been fun! Had some great meals, ate some cake, played some go-karts on the computer - and a few other things I'm usually too busy to do.

But there is always time for what matters if you make it happen!

We always have time enough if we but use it tight.
- Johann Wolfegang von Goethe

Simple

It's the simple things.

Right now, my cats are sitting at the window, chirping at birds. No, the birds aren't chirping - the cats are! They've been there for quite a while and will be amused until the birds leave. Again, simple things.

Sometimes we forget to stop and anjoy the simple things. And we need to! Things like curling up on the couch with a warm blanket, a misty field on a damp morning, the smell of a vanilla candle.

And cats chirping at birds!

Friends

No one has so many friends he or she can afford to aquander even one.
