Quote

Divorce is devastating. I have heard through the media that it takes half as long as you have been married to feel better. Are you kidding me? I was married for 23 1/2 years, then my husband left me. No way could I imagine feeling that bad for over a decade. I have had others in my family that I love dearly that have suffered for years over divorce. I believed there had to be a better way, because I am truthfully a wimp. There was no way I could handle years of grief. I turned to God, because of his promise in Matthew 11. And guess what! I'm still healing and grieving, but even though I've been going through the most difficult thing I have ever gone through, I am still able to be happy and enjoy the moments in life that make life worth living. I sincerely hope you can too.

Some Things That Help Simplify

I've been pretty sick lately. Bad case of food poisoning I think. Who has time to be sick? Not me. And not anybody I know. Lately, because of Thanksgiving, and because of a personal goal of mine to be more grateful, I have come up with a few links that have helped me tremendously. Especially while being sick :).

Flylady has been a huge help in keeping my house out of chaos for years. That is, when I am disciplined enough to do it. Conquering clutter and trails of daily living 15 minutes at a time! Marla Cilley is a genius.

I haven't tried 5 dinners 1 hour yet, but I think I'm going to be a fan. I love prepping thirty meals all in one day and then freezing it, cooking it when needed. However, my cash flow or time doesn't seem to cooperate lately. 5 days just seems the ticket for right now. It is a shopping list for dinners and sides, you prep for 1 hour, and you have 5 dinners in the  fridge, and you cook them when you need them. The sides are quick, quick, quick. And it's healthy. I downloaded the free menu mailer, looks really good. I'll let you know.

Very similar to this is SavingDinner.com. I love this site and did subscribe for a long time.

Here is the gratitude part:  "Recognizing God's Hand in Our Daily Blessings by Elder D. Todd Christofferson. This is a great lesson on the right perspective.

Well, meds are kicking in and I'm quickly becoming incoherent. Have a great week!
