Sounds like you are going to be a busy but happy camper this school year and I'm glad you are taking time for you.<br /><br />This entire year so far has taken me out of my comfort zone and right into the makings of some of my longed for dreams. In the beginning of 2010, I chose the word ACTION to live out instead of a bunch of new year resolutions. I even blogged about it with a doodle page that showed my action steps I wanted to take. They have all happened including opening up my new Etsy Shop in May 2010!!! I would not have believed it possible had I not committed to the ACTION WORD. There were only 2 wants on my list that haven't happened, but not because of my lack of Action. They will happen when the time is right.<br /><br />Remember the cheer A-C-T-I-O-N, action action action!!! I'm a little older than you so that cheer might have gone out of style before your time????LeeAnn@Encouragement Is Contagioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11115472068334541489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292398111323195424.post-69490724596312495762010-09-01T19:25:25.636-07:002010-09-01T19:25:25.636-07:00LOL, I totally missed this post!

I like to Tweet her funny lines from time to time.<br /><br />We eat a lot of Greek food up here in the PNW--don't ask me why. Lots of Greek restaurants around. Feta cheese is a staple for many cooks.<br /><br />Can't wait to see your finished re-upholstery project. And good for you for volunteering. You will be busy this fall!<br /><br />(((Hugs))) e-MomSusannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12090290482455881323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292398111323195424.post-17156712955952842912010-09-01T12:55:00.550-07:002010-09-01T12:55:00.550-07:00Hi Janette, fall is such a wonderful time for begi...Hi Janette, fall is such a wonderful time for beginning new things. I seem to get energized as the weather cools!! <br /><br />You will love visual journaling, glad you want to get started with it. <br /><br />With my last child off to college this fall, I have more free time to explore new things. I think I want to spend time painting a bit more, but will see what God has in mind. <br /><br />Blessings!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15425904812918507490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292398111323195424.post-59031237060885483902010-09-01T12:23:51.092-07:002010-09-01T12:23:51.092-07:00I love it that you are pushing yourself outside of...I love it that you are pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone. With all my kids grown, and only one at home, I'm trying to do the same.<br /><br /> I started taking a Zumba class at the gym where I workout and that really takes away my comfort, lol. Lots of hip moving, dancing and I'm a fool, but at least a sweaty fool. <br /><br />Hubby and I are helping lead and mentor small groups at church. We love having a group in our home, which is easy for me. Mentoring others, that's very much outside my comfort zone. <br /><br />I can't wait to see your foot stool when it's done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292398111323195424.post-33467757511273093422010-09-01T04:45:47.494-07:002010-09-01T04:45:47.494-07:00This is so great!!

You'll enjoy it! <br /><br />I think it's so cool that you are volunteering with a student and teacher at the school. I'm working with a little girl in McKinney and have been so blessed!!

We're going from having a regular paycheck to living on "support" and trusting God to supply through His people...but then we're dependent on Him even though we may not realize it!<br /><br />So although I don't have the time for new projects and skills in the midst of all this moving and traveling, I'm learning an incredible amount about stepping outside my comfort zone and how much the Lord teaches us at times like this!!<br /><br />Thanks, Janette, for making me think!Gwen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02094959197761222086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292398111323195424.post-68453785727849816002010-08-29T16:46:34.032-07:002010-08-29T16:46:34.032-07:00Thanks for your insight.

Life's meant to be lived out-loud (singing & dancing in the rain, as you know)!<br /><br />Sometimes my goals are practical; like painting a room, or cleaning out the garage. At aother times they're centered on some new course of Bible study, or other intellectual pursuit. For years they involved work/career.<br /><br />No matter what, goals and challenges always serve to lubricate my brain. <br /><br />Blessings, <br />KathleenKathleen https://www.blogger.com/profile/05245926913888212148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292398111323195424.post-67602776300896443912010-08-28T18:43:25.366-07:002010-08-28T18:43:25.366-07:00now you've got me going!

I love that elegant look. <br />I want to take out my sewing machine and finish the quilt I started about 10 years ago. It is all pinned together and I just have to finish sewing the layers together. That machine intimidates me. I was never taught how to sew so I am uncomfortable doing it. I also started cutting fabric to make a tote for my daughter a couple of summers ago. I would love to finish that. <br />Have a great weekend my friend :)Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09807434285554893291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292398111323195424.post-67130732217958589512010-08-28T07:01:44.696-07:002010-08-28T07:01:44.696-07:00I am a lover of all things
