Do YOU have a lot to do?

I was thinking this morning how much I have to do in the next two months......(yes someone told me that Christimas is two months away, and that was a few days ago!!! :0

So this morning, I thought I'd go looking for some motivation!!! Here are a few quotes I found from those that have gone before us, and were fairly successful, I might add.

Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude. Thomas Jefferson

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.Robert Collier

The greatest results in life are usually attained by simple means and the exercise of ordinary qualities. These may for the most part be summed in these two: common-sense and perseverance.Owen Feltham
The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do, well.Henry W. Longfellow

Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose--a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye.Mary Shelley

And then there is always the Bible......"I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me"......and don't you think that means even the everyday, mundane things that we as moms, wives, workers and caregivers need to accomplish???? I sure do, and rely heavily on it!

Have a good Monday and a good time making your lists and checking them twice!! ;)

I early voted yesterday......please make sure you vote this election. Your vote is important. Now back to your regularly scheduled blog-reading......

An Ode to Blogs

Oh I do love you

Oh blogs of the 'net

Your creators are artsy

and lest I forget,

They are crafty, inspiring,

and lots of fun, too!

But I'm left with dilemna

-- choosing what to do.

There is laundry you see

and my fam wants to eat

Don't they know how inspiring

you are and how sweet?

It's like a new magazine

Day after day

With treat upon treat

to inspire us to play!

I discover a new one

-- must read what I've missed!

Great ideas to be found

to add to my list!

They are thrifty and classy

and known to recycle

And inspire me to run to

Goodwill or to Michael's!

So blogs I do love you,

You inspire me to beauty

But I also am limited

to time sitting on my booty.

The computer it draws me

to find blogs to read

I need to get up though

And do some good deeds.

Like laundry and errands

and mealtime and chores...

Blogs even inspire me to

do those and more.

Inspirational and challenging

Wise and discerning

This community I've found

Has me doing some learning

Of all the neat people

Out there on the 'net

That seem to be kindred

But may not have met.

Thanks to the bloggers

Of the interweb and 'net

For inspiring this blogger

Even those I've not met!
