52 List

I was doing some surfing today for Project Life stuff and came across a great blog. As I was reading the posts I realized how special this would be to incorporate into my Project 52 album. To see next year where I was this year. To see how I've changed in a year. So I am going to be adding these Weekly Lists into my album.

If you'd like to check it out for yourself, here is the link.

52 List for Week 1 is "Words that Touch Your Soul"
This really made me start thinking about what hits home for me. So far my list has the words:
Nevertheless
Children (my son Brian & my daughter Laura)
Grandchildren (Grayson, June & to be decided)
Rosie (my dog)
Monster (my dog I lost to cancer)
Baby, Sweet Pea & Herby (my cats)
Friends
Calm
Quiet
Content
Sunshine
Warm
Home

I know it seems odd to have the word Nevertheless as a Word that Touches My Soul but I have a reason. I was recently reading my morning devotional from Trusting God Day by Day by Joyce Meyer and the reading was about the word "Nevertheless". To go through life with a "Nevertheless" outlook. A "Nevertheless" is a positive that I can focus on to help me get through the difficult time. This way of living consists of acknowledging a difficult situation and then finding an offsetting positive to put the situation into perspective. Right now one of my "Nevertheless" statements is - "It's cold outside right now, nevertheless, in a short time Spring will be here." Since I don't care for being cold this is a great way to help me push through Winter.


52 List for Week 2 is "My Greatest Comforts" -
The Lord
Children
Grandchildren
Rosie
Baby
Chocolate
Popcorn

I'm sure before the end of the week I'll have more words that will go on these lists. I'm looking forward to next weeks.
