Mounds of things freeze well, I began this when I was teaching. I can always pull out a great homemade entree, bake a 'tater and toss a salad and have a meal faster the the drive through can take your order.<br /><br />Healthier too!!! :o)<br /><br />God bless ya sweetie and have yourself a marvelous day!!!Nezzy (Cow Patty Surprise)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10175389676508928061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-68834755156264368002011-03-24T15:29:24.565-05:002011-03-24T15:29:24.565-05:00I get up ten minutes early to read a chapter of th...I get up ten minutes early to read a chapter of the Bible each day.

A few mornings ago I woke up at 5:15 and thought, "Oh, I don't want to get up yet," but then remembered this post!

I can SO tell the difference on days that I get distracted and put off my prayer/journaling time.<br />#2. As Mary Kay (yes, of the cosmetics regime) said, never put more than 5 things on your daily to-do list. <br />After YEARS of discipline, I do fairly well with #1 now. #2, not so much... my to-do lists tend to look like Santa's.Niki Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10419436634375255412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-90646265175989748412011-03-23T19:59:57.243-05:002011-03-23T19:59:57.243-05:00Hi Jen -

I put out my clothing the night before, pour my cereal while the computer is booting up, and listen to the song I'm learning while I'm working on the computer.<br /><br />Although I watch minimal TV, I discovered you can clean a bathroom during the commercials for a one-hour show. :)<br /><br />Blessings,<br />SusanSusan J.

When I spend time in God's Word and prayer each day, things just fall into place throughout the day, my mind is sharper and my creativity peaks. I love it when God writes for me instead of me banging my head for ideas. Have a happy writing day, friend.Elaine W. Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10180843077491105642noreply@blogger.com
