A Reset - Let's Do It Again!

Today I'm starting a reset... a re-evaluation of my time here on earth. I've been out of touch with this blog and with reading, and feel like I've been in a transition time.

Gratitudes:
1. I'm grateful for my home, family and opportunities.
2. I'm grateful for my needs being met by the Lord's will and by his kindness to me.
3. I'm grateful to be a Christian.
4. I'm grateful for creative endeavors: my own, and those of others.
5. I'm grateful for the peace in my life.
Plan for the day:
1. Watch a worship service on TV, via YouTube.
2. Follow my daily habit tracker including writing on this blog, journaling, transcription, poetry and art.
3. Read more in the Biblical archeology book.
4. Pray for people in my family and community.
5. Prepare my Sept. blog page and planner page.
Currently reading:
1. Paperback: Unearthing the Bible: 101 Archaeological Discoveries That Bring the Bible to Life, by Titus Kennedy
2. My devotional this year: New Morning Mercies, by Paul David Tripp
3. Audiobook: Shepherd of the Hills, by Harold Bell Wright

Here's how my day is going: Today is Sunday. I woke up later than usual, around 10 am. However I got over 7 hours of sleep and that was welcome and needed. I prefer to wake up by 8 am. Since I'm an old retired lady I can do that if the dogs next door don't bark too much and wake me up. That ofen happens, but not today.

I felt led this morning to follow the habits I have set for doing daily. I have a tracker that Chat GTP helped by creating for me. Today I added "writing on Linda's Life blog" so we'll see how many blog posts I get posted here this week. I am not consistent on these habits unfortunately. I think the development of consistency is a big issue for me right now. About the only things I'm consistent about are feeding the feral cats and watering the vegetable garden. If I don't do those things they'll die! So I make myself consistent and set alarms to remind me when to go water the plants. Cat feeding is part of my regular early morning routine.

Today is the third day of the annual Bigfoot Jamboree event here in town. So far I've managed to avoid all of it. I think I'm just "over" events like these. I hope those who go will have fun. This year they are sharing the park with fire camp as there's a fire nearby, in Seiad Valley. I think right now the town of Seiad Valley is on an evacuation warning. Sad! I hope their homes survive. I think homes are already burning downriver near Dillon Creek. So far this year there have been no fires threatening Happy Camp and I pray that continues throughout the fire season.

I just gave Goodreads permission to post to this blog every time I finish a book. I'll have to see how that works out. At this point, it is experimental for me.
