My Journey Toward Simplicity

New Direction

2012-02-29T12:02:00.000-08:00

Hello Dear Friends,
Dave and I had a wonderful time at our Lenten Retreat this morning. I feel God leading me in a new direction with blogging. On Friday my blog is going to go private for a few weeks while I work behind the scenes creating a new place to share with you what God is doing in my life. It is going to take me a few weeks before I am ready to reopen my blog. Stay tune and look for something exciting when I return.
Until we meet again Remember You are God's beloved.

Mindful Menu Plan

2012-02-26T06:59:00.005-08:00

Good Morning,

It has been a nice week end. During this Lenten Season I have been going about my day being more mindful.This has put me in touch with myself and others around me.I have relieized that others don't always have the same choices as I do. We have been blessed so much. Shopping mindfully has opened my eyes to ways I can spend less and not compromise our health. I have been wasting less by using what I have first.

Also I have been buying more store brands which allows me to get a senior discount.

This week Dave's menu plan is around what I have on hand.

Monday

Sweet and Sour Chicken over Rice

Tueday

Sloppy Joes

Oven Fries

Green Peas

Wednesday
Leap year

Chicken Noodle Soup

Homemade French Bread

Thursday
St David Of Wales

Grilled Pork Chop

Honey Mashed Potatoes

Green Beans with Mushrooms

Friday
Dr. Suess Day
I will have something special to post that day.

What ways this Lenten Season Have you been more mindful.

Have a simple and blessed week.

Elizabeth

The picture above is Dave's breakfast this morning.
French Toast with Ham.
I used up the bread, milk and eggs I had left from the month to make it.

Lent Meatless Meals

2012-02-23T09:07:00.000-08:00

During Lent the meatless meals are the hardest one for me to plan. Dave can't eat beans,seeds or nuts. The only seafood he likes is Lobster,a little Shrimp and Salmon. Nor does he like egg salad. So that doesn't leave me much to work with. The past few days I have doing a little research coming up with a few dishes to cook for him. A couple resources I found to be helpful is Vegetarian Times and Whole Foods Market.

Here is his menu plan for tomorrow:

Meatless Friday

Breakfast

Sliced Peaches

Scrambled Eggs

Toasted English Muffin with Jelly

Lunch

( Picture above already for me to put in his lunch bag)

Mac and Cheese

Saute Mixed Veggies

Applesauce

Pudding Cup

Homemade Bread

Supper

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Snacks

Am Yogurt with Fruit

PM Peanut Butter and Crackers

What do you cook for meatless meals?

Have a simple day.

Lenten Thoughts

2012-02-20T10:11:00.001-08:00

Good Morning,

I have been puttering around the house getting back into the groove after a busy and fast week end. It is so nice to be back to being a turtle. I have been starting to prepare for Lent which starts this week. I thought I would share a few things I am going to do for Lent this year.

Cutout things that pertain to Lent and pasted them in my journal.
This week I cutout a few things from our Church Bulletin also with a Sales Ad from Randall's for fun.

This is the devotional book I am going to be using starting on Ash Wednesday.
Tonight I am going to get a small journal when I go out to records my private thoughts and to do the exercises in the book.

What plans for Lent have you started making?

Hello,

What a week end. I wore roller skates all week end. Not a good thing.I am looking forward this week to getting back to my slow turtle pace. I got some really good news on Friday when I went to the doctor. I have reached my first goal. I weigh 101. Yea. It has taken me almost a year to gain 10 pounds. Since I can't eat sweets that was not a small task. I can wear a size 2 now. This will make buying clothes a bit easier.

Monday

Pork Roast with Winter Vegetables

Ham

Buttermilk Pancakes

Ash Wednesday
Spaghetti
Steamed Zucchini
French Bread

Thursday

Oven Fried Chicken

Quiet

2012-02-04T09:03:00.000-08:00

As I get older the more I love silence. This morning I have been puttering around the house enjoying just being. I brought a wonderful new book this past week. Quiet by Susan Cain. Yesterday in my devotional it talked about how God speaks to us in a small still voice. Today's society is very noisy. It seems we have become uncomfortable with being quiet.When we aren't talking or the space around us becomes silent then it seems as if there are very loud monkeys jumping around inside our head urging us to say something. It doesn't matter what it is just make some kind of noise. As I begin my Lenten Journey I feel God is calling to me practice being quiet more. To allow the monkeys to rest and enjoy the silence. I am going to give up mindless chattering and when I do speak I want my words to be thought out and meaningful. I cleaned up my blog this past week and in the future my post are to reflect this next step in my journey toward a quieter,simple and peaceful life.
Do you enjoy silence?
Have a blessed week end.

Waiting For Breakfast

2011-07-30T07:17:00.000-07:00

This morning I was so hungry. I stood in the kitchen barking at mommy to hurry up and get my breakfast. The reason I was so hungry was I played a game with mommy last night and I lost. Mommy had given me a little turkey for lunch so when she put my food down at supper I decided to hold out for some more turkey. Well That didn't work. Mommy didn't cave in. After the dishes were cleaned up she put my supper away and I had to wait till breakfast. I do this from time to time. It never works but I keep trying. Now I have a full belly and I am off for my morning nap.

Have a fun day.
