Good morning!!
Monday again. Time sure does fly.
I took some time off the computer this weekend and it felt wonderful.
I really need to evaluate the time I spend on this baby.
By doing that I found all kinds of extra time.
Imagine that.
I organized photos so that maybe this year I can get back to some scrapbooking. I truly miss that hobby.
I spent some time at the studio.
My husband and I went to the Professional Bull Riders show in Chicago.
And on Sunday, after mass and Sunday lunch (two activities I truly love), I sat down in my cozy chair with some magazines and books.
It was a wonderful day.
I just finished reading Love Does by Bob Goff.

I highly recommend this book.
I’ll start by saying I would love to meet this man.
What an amazing human being.
Each chapter is itself a little story about love. A story from his life. An example of how we should live and love.
Love is at the core of everything he does. Yes, DOES! Love is not just a feeling. To him it is ACTION!!
It makes me want to DO!!
I enjoyed each chapter. Laughed and retold the stories to my family. I even took a few notes.
This book definitely left an impact.
When I finished that, I started a new one.
A novel by Lee Woodruff called Those We Love Most.

I loved her first book, In an Instant, so I knew this would be a good one.
I am already over 100 pages into it.
Very good so far.
Can’t wait til tonight to open it back up.
But that has to wait until I get a few things done around the house
Like clean off my desk….again.

Jeesh. Why do I let piles accumulate?
Have a great day ladies!!

Thanks for the book recommendations. Can’t wait to read them. I hate piles too and they seem to accumulate too quickly! Enjoy your day.
I stepped away for most of the weekend too. And got a lot of stuff accomplished. But don’t stay away too long – I’d miss you!
Sometimes I find it necessary to walk away from those gadgets of mine…computer & iphone;-D…and get back to the basic things I enjoy. Like a good book:) I love it when you share books that you’ve read because they’re always a good read! Thanks, Traci!!
I always enjoy your book recommendations. Thanks for sharing. I now have a couple more to add to my list.
Also wondering….what’s happened to the ‘studio’ that was in your house? Now just your craft/work room? Just an inquiring mind.
Oh, and to answer one of your emails from a few days back…..I’d move!!
Love Does sounds like a great book, and you know how much I read, hehe!
I seem to have less time for the computer these days but I still can’t find time for more reading which I really want to do. I feel so busy lately and really need to find a way to be less busy I guess.
I love the photo sessions at your new studio space. They are amazing. I’m so happy for you lady!
