It has been a week of progress - many kinds of progress. First, the federal tax forms are done and printed off. Just need to get the state forms done and they are not nearly as confusing as the federal forms. Next, I got the sewing room all cleaned up. That was huge job!!! It is now ready for photographs to be taken for Lauren's 4-H project. I got all the rest of my little house clean-up jobs done this weekend as well. The best progress has been with my car! Thursday night we got the Impala traded off and got an Acadia. It is not new, but 6 years newer than the Impala. It is really nice! So far I love it! I think I also made some emotional/mental progress. I spent yesterday watching a marathon of "Good Witch" movies on the Halmark channel as I was scuttling about the house doing my cleaning and laundry. I was greatly impacted by some things in those movies. The first thing is that no matter what happens, Cassie always see the good side of it. The "silver lining of every cloud". She never lets the bad things in her life bring her down. Her theory is - you are always right where you are ment to be and she makes the best of it. The other thing that impacted me even more was her attitude about how people treat her. She never gets mad or feels bad. She always turns these people around and makes them feel bad that they treated her the way they did. She helps them feel good about themselves. I am going to try very hard to learn a lesson from this. After the movies, I sort of took inventory on some of the things that have happened in my life and how I reacted to them and how I have reacted to some of the people in my life. It made me very sad to think that I am a Christian and have reacted to those things the way I have. I need to have a clean heart and stop holding on to some of the dark clouds that I have hung on to. I know it will not be easy, but I am going to do this! I know I will be a much happier person if I can succeed. Today I am grateful that God gave me these wonderful movies to clean my heart!
