Philippians 4:8-9

whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Refreshed!!

Most of you know that I had a week off from work! I'm back to work this week and feeling so very refreshed...it was a much needed break..
I didn't do anything too special,but just to NOT have to drive into work and be "on" all week.
I'm very fortunate to have 3 weeks vacation per year,so I appreciate my boss and my job..

I realized, while on vacation, that I need structure in my life..I like to have a schedule & lists are my friends!:)
Without a schedule I feel overwhelmed at very small tasks, day to day. For example, if I get home from work and there is laundry to be done, I just get it done...but then complain because I am doing laundry every night..(crazy I know)
But Travis helped me realize that if I have a routine, even with house work, I will relax more knowing there is a "time" for me to do laundry.
So last night Travis and I sat down and scheduled our week out. We included housework, time with friends, time with family, exercise, date night, and YES even our alone time.

It was so satisfying to know that when I walk in the door at night, I don't have to get everything done in one night, just check the schedule & do whats on it ONLY...
I'm so excited to see this in practice, because I really do work better on a schedule...How about you??
Do you like to schedule or do you just fly by the seat of your pants??
I would love to hear your thoughts!
