ALMOST FINISHED

ALMOST FINISHED CHANGING THE COLORS IN THIS OLD CHARLTON HOUSE…
ALMOST FINISHED WITH 7THJOY’S NEWEST CREATION PROJECT FOR 2010…
ALMOST WHERE I WANT TO BE HEALTH WISE, WELL….ALMOST!

SO I’D SAY IT’S ALMOST TIME TO START GETTING READY FOR MY FAVORITE SEASON!

But first, I must apologize to my 7thJoy Blog followers because I haven’t stopped to write much lately. Excitement is building around here for our Annual Christmas Trunk Show. With many goals and deadlines set for ourselves, Robin and I have been busy beyond busy trying to finish our newest creations. Problem is we keep coming up with and finding new ideas. I’m not sure who feeds off of whom, but we work well together at overwhelming ourselves…Birds of a Feather!
just a peek!!
Add to that my 10 years too long in one place need for change and preparation for holiday guests; my home is a buzz of paint and re-decorating as well as stacks and stacks of half finished projects for the trunk show. I think overwhelmed is an understatement.

Yet with all this busy..ness, I seem to be at my best. I work well under pressure, love the rush and the exhaustion that comes after a day of hard work, and always have! Not so my sweet friend and business partner, but she’s getting used to it!  I think??

So here it is Mid-October, Fall is in the air and then out again, you know Texas weather!!!
I’m ALMOST ready for, well, you know…..Christmastime!
Not just Yet….ALMOST I said!

And then in the midst of it all, I realize that life around me goes on, REAL LIFE, friends get cancer diagnoses, loved ones are lost, teen aged hearts are broken and hard lessons are learned. I am reminded yet again, that my day, no matter how busy, needs to start in one place….
With my Father, the One who holds all in His Hands, the One with all the Answers, the One who never gets Overwhelmed…the One of Miracles!
OUR GIFT, no matter what time of year! Starting today on my knees, b
