I can't believe what a difference a day makes! Yesterday I felt like a slug. I couldn't get myself motivated for anything. All I wanted to do was sit around with the dogs and waste time. I decided that I needed to ask God for some motivation in getting around to whatever it was that He wanted me to do. I knew He wasn't really pleased with my sitting around being lazy. So, I made some choices to go to bed earlier, try to eat healthier this morning, start my day with The Upperroom devotional and low and behold, I have been full of motivation getting things accomplished today. He has placed so many things on my heart that I'm actually excited to try to get them all done by His prioritization.
I'm enjoying this beautiful day so much! I'm a member of the Scott County Homemakers and it is my job this month to be the lesson leader. This will be my first time to do this. I agreed to it because the lesson that we are having this month is Social Networking. I would say that out of our club there may be a handful of six to eight that are on the computer. I figured that I would be the most likely to be able to explain Facebook, Twitter, Skyping and blogging to the club. I also knew that I might learn something because I am just a beginner myself. It was an informative lesson this morning and I look forward to trying to present it to my club next week.
Well, it's almost the weekend and I know we have a game in Baton Rouge on Saturday. It may be cold here from what I'm hearing, but if it's nice, I want to simply record the game ( you never know ) and go to a Fall Festival. I believe there are two going on around me that I have enjoyed from past years. The first will be limited to one day at Reed's Valley Orchard. This is a wonderful way to spend Saturday afternoon. I've enjoyed their various musical entertainers and the craft booths and hope to walk their nature trail after being unable to identify it in the past. I know Mark won't be up for it, not his thing, but I'm sure a friend or family member will go with me or meet me out there. Also, I encouraged a friend who sets up a booth at festivals to give them a try and I want to support her effort. The second event is the Festival of the Horse right here in Georgetown. I think it starts up on Friday and continues through Sunday. I've missed the parade in the past, but hope to catch it this year. Mark and I were surprised last weekend to see what appeared to be a parade of buggies, carriages and horses go right down Bailey Road in front of our house. I thought that maybe some of the participants of the Horse Festival Parade were taking some practice runs in our country neighborhood.
And, as for the game. I'm gonna pray for a wonderful, injury free, good sportsmanship good time for all involved. I'll also pray that God gives the Kentucky Wildcats the motivation to do wonderful things on the field as well as off. Above being a winning team, I want them to be winning individuals, always looking out for the other guy and always trying to strive to be their best. Go Cats!!!
And speaking of motivation, did you attend that Rupp Arena Motivation Seminar? My goodness, it sounded like a carnival atmosphere. I wasn't the least bit interested, but I did like some of the speakers. I was shocked to read that they advertised for tickets that cost $1.95, for advance tickets only, but, if you showed up the day of the event, it cost $225. Wow, what a shock if you assumed it was less than two dollars and it was really over two hundred. Like I said in the beginning of this blog, I get my motivation straight from God. If we ask for it, He freely gives it to us, each and every morning. Now, that's a bargain.
By the way, if you have given up on UK Football, and I haven't yet, we've seen some unusual things happen these past years when we've played LSU. I'm thankful for DVR so I can record it and enjoy, what I hope will be, a beautiful Fall day. Like I said, if you've given up on football, just remember basketball is just around the corner. UK Fans started camping out Wednesday for tickets to Big Blue Madness which is scheduled for mid October. Too bad we couldn't fill Rupp Arena with those fans, instead of the season ticket holders that watch the games like the team is simply playing for their entertainment. We have so many wonderfully rowdy fans, if the football team could just get going, we'd have a rocking time at Commonwealth. Go Big Blue!!
Well, Taffy is crying for something, I think she wants down to go bark at the horses across the street. The other four have been doing just that, but she chose to sit next to me while I blogged, so she has been sitting and whimpering. I hope you are having as beautiful a fall day as I am here. It's been the perfect day for hanging clothes, which is exactly what I'm doing while I blog. That's the kind of multi-tasking I can appreciate. Take care and be safe, luv, Susan ps, I still don't have any bluebirds back, but I've been watching a wonderful family of cardinals recently.
