Hot Springs Getaway and Real Time Update

Good morning. Hope your Saturday is going well. The Hot Springs weekend headed to see our family in TX has dropped and is now live. You can watch it HERE. We bring you right along into our weekend trip. Good views of the Arlington Hotel in downtown Hot Springs, good eats, and some funny stories from our past. Hope you enjoy it.

Real time update:

OMGosh, well let’s see. I think I’ll just bullet point these. Not in any order of importance but just how they came to mind.

1. We have life group coming over tomorrow. I’m cooking and cleaning this time. I don’t mind. George has pulled through in the past for these events while I worked and tried to keep up the channel and other family responsibilities so it’s my turn to have the brunt of it, and he’s letting me, lol.
2. I feel like life is on hold until #1 is over. I’m looking forward to it but am all consumed by it today/this week.
3. Feeling a bit put out that the days go by so fast. My routine has stretched out and it’s noon before I get a shower. Routine? Maybe I’ll do a video on it. It’s a subject we should address in retirement. I’m not getting things done like I want. But we knew that would happen as I had a lot to do over the years that I put off until now and I’ve been trying to do it all! So we’ll get there. At least I have a reason to live right?
4. Family Member has made other family members mad now. When will it end? It appears that grudges go way back. What happened to Christianity and forgiveness and love? Hmmm? The one who points out splinters in every one (no one is left out, trust me) has a huge beam sticking out of her eye. No wonder Family Member cannot see. I’m sorry, but the irony there seems to be a real thing going on placed by God Himself, and no other as He must be tired of how she sees things in life. I am just realizing it as I type this. Oh the irony. All we can do is pray for soft hearts, kindness and a forgiving spirit. Including my own.
5. I feel like I’ve reached 70×7 in above Family Member situation. I’m sure God meant for it to be longer than that 70 x 7 formula, but we are past that now at this point in my life. But now I hold my own grudges. Every day I struggle to forget and forge on and forgive and try to love and have compassion, but I have hardness in my own heart and I too talk about the situation which is not good. If I don’t get over it, will God harden my heart and my arteries physically likewise? I’m also a work in progress. I also don’t want to be a punching bag, or verbal whipping post, nor a slave to someone is so ungrateful and hurtful. I’m trying. I’m here to say it is going to require more prayer as I’m not there yet.

What’s Next?

• As April is here it brings a new excitement of a new quarter.
• I will be doing the new bucket list
• I’ve not been vlogging much but will pick it back up
• We will begin painting and doing things in the house
• We will be seeing friends soon
• I’ll be updating my calendar with a new planner – a smaller one as the old one is about to run out and this fits in my purse better and is lighter.
• I’ll be playing with the new labelmaker
• I’ll be ordering a new camera and getting the old one ready to sell
• I’ll be enjoying spring but dreading the tornado threats, but I do have a basement. I just don’t like it when they come overnight and I have to worry about getting George and the dogs downstairs on time and the cat in, when everyone is asleep.

That’s enough excitement for now, lol. I hope you will enjoy watching the Hot Spring video. You can see it here if you didn’t already watch it. Have a good few days and I will see you on Wednesday when Texas Part I comes out.
