Inspirational thought-Jan 16

"Have you every noticed the direct correlation between the days when you're feeling depressed and the days when your house is in disarray? It's hard to think clearly when constantly surrounded by clutter, chaos, and confusion. Bringing order to your life doesn't mean following a list of "shoulds", instead it's about keeping order so we can tap into our creative energy. Invite order into your life today and you will have a more serene tomorrow."

So this thought really made me think here at the end of my day. This week will involve developing a new sense of "order" for me given that I will be working Mon and Tue for the next few weeks as a HIPPY substitute.  I'm thankful this is coming 2 weeks after my family has begun a simpler healthy eating pattern. This is the week I intend to add some cardio/strength training into our daily lives. John and Rebecca are the self-disciplined ones that already run/work out each day. Michaela and I will be adding this to our "order of the day". I'm praying to have the self discipline to implement this as I had planned given that anytime there is a major change in routine it takes me a couple of weeks to "order" my life around that change.  So, we started tonight by going to the base gym as a family after evening worship services...alas, it was CLOSED! Rebecca and I did a "salsa" aerobic dance workout (I should say we attempted!) when we got home on netflix. Tomorrow, the plan is for Michaela and I to walk 2 miles when I get home from work.  I praise God that I still have the physical ability to exercise and pray this is something I will never take for granted, but instead take this blessing and use it! I decided that I will just take it one day at a time this week. Be thinking about me as I try to keep order in my life:)
