I dont mind your suggestion at all and I think its a good one. And Laine has said she is happy for me to re post her content or bits of it. I am kind of waiting to see if Laine gets her new web site up or not... if she does then maybe I will just refer to bits and pieces but if no maybe I will add chunks so more people get to read them... I will ask Laine how she things the website is going for this year. And as you know Im using her letters to study myself as they are so lovely! Thank you Sherri and have a wonderful 2015! xxxAnnabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027539528156492413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879795385972045418.post-16987446280811795962015-01-04T02:33:00.054-08:002015-01-04T02:33:00.054-08:00Happy New Year Annabel.

Annabel have you considered having a read along of Laine’s letters this year – blogging the link or just listing which of Laine’s letters you are reading during the week and those of us who are interested could read them too? It's just a thought, please ignore if I am being too brash. Another inspiring post Annabel, many thanks.

In any other profession saying yes to everything would prevent a person being able to do their job yet no one thinks this with motherhood and homemaking. It is wonderful when you feel your work is important enough that you MUST say no to things that threaten the peace and routine at home. Many times I find its things that threaten the budget... I am much better now at saying no to those!

There is so much in this, that I am going to reread it tomorrow. <br />One of the helpful hints that I picked up at a seminar for women recently was to tell people that you needed to check your calendar and you would get back to them. If you have something that you really feel you don't want to or can't participate in, then in your calendar space you write a meeting, and you have a meeting with yourself. That way you can truthfully say " I'm sorry, I have a meeting that day".<br />I have also heard people do this to save over scheduling . They regularly fill their calendar with family dates, and personal time and then those dates are already taken. Thank you for such a beautiful post. I'm sure that we are going to have some wonderful times together this year.

Tomorrow (I am in the US) I will be celebrating New Years Eve with my husband and 3 of our 5 children. I am excited to grab my planner, and because of your post I will not forget to list all of our blessings and accomplishments for the past year. I am thrilled to have found your little corner here, so full of pretties and encouragement and inspiration. I will be planning and praying and praising along with you.
