A better morning and that is good. Work is busy preparing for Friday's event. I have to prep the final tasks for it by 3 PM today. Hubby made a NICE weekly payout from our main eBay store and he applied to our grocery and dinner budget. I am so relieved for that. The house purchase is moving along, we're at the appraisal part now. We wait.

The weather isn't good today so going out is tricky. My mood is sad and depressed. I don't like looking a gloomy day. I also have in the back in my mind all that has gone down with my job. I wish I could retire today and hand over all my work to someone else. But God obviously has His plan so I have to wait and see what He does.

It feels really good to be writing again and for myself. I've always loved writing, not novels or even poems anymore but just writing to write. This blog is for me, it's my safeground to let out all my feelings and struggles with no one looking over my shoulder. No one critiquing me, no judgments. It's just me and The Lord Jesus.

And, today I thank you Lord for fighting all my battles for me, for wiping away my tears, for answering my secret prayers and calming down my spirit when my nerves are affected. I'm so grateful, everyday is a new challenge and looking around makes me so sad to see such degradation in the world. We just are destroying ourselves and the enemy is loving it.

To combat my thoughts, I'm starting to work more on my eBay store and crafting. I haven't come up with a schedule for listing my cards, I think doing it at night would be the best time so as to not have a lot of interruptions. For crafting, I'm stitching some ornaments on felt fabric starting with mittens and I pulled out some buttons for embellishing.

I'm excited to stitch on felt for the Holidays, it's so much fun! And it sure helps me after long days like today.
