Wacky Wednesdays...

Okay so today is wacky wednesday and I'll tell you what,

That new title has put me in a bothersome little rut!

I search the house over for things that have gone awry,

To the point of frustration and my desire to wanna cry!

I've got a pile of things all over the place with a bunch to do,

But I tell you, I can't do much with a two foot Grue!

Now what's a Grue you may ask with wonder?

I'll tell you - yes, I will shout it with a voice of thunder!

A Grue is my own made up word I'll tell you straight,

Yes, the results of a Grue, I'm starting to hate!

I went to the doctor and he put tape on both my feet,

It's hard to walk and get anything done - but bleat!

Okay, okay so two sore feet is what I call a Grue,

For there aren't a whole lot of things that I can do!

Its real name is called Plantar Fasciitis I tell you true,

Walking to loose some weight is now not a thing I can do!

So no walking, no rowdiness or jumping on the bed,

And all of these restrictions because the doctor said!

So now do I need a wacky wednesday to help me along?

Nope, I just need to laze around and sing a song!

Now don't you wish you had a two foot Grue too?

Monday's Marvelous Quotes...

If you listened to Oct General Conference this week-end you may remember this quote..."Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." ~ Leonardo Da Vinci

I had been talking to one of my daughters Friday night and we were discussing a very similar topic. I sometimes overwhelm myself with all of the things I put on my agenda; all of the things I want to accomplish - to the point of not accomplishing any of them. In President Dieter F. Uchtdorf's talk he told us that the astronauts and cosmonauts used a pencil when their pen wouldn't work in space. I'm now thinking that simplicity is sometimes the best policy. My daughter is right... for she has an apostle of God to back her up!

I think a lot of us are very much like that - we get so caught up in trying to succeed and various ways to do so, that we neglect the simple solutions right before us! So last night I devised a plan: I would get up this morning and go for my hour walk; come home eat breakfast; then write in my novel until noon; when I would eat lunch; then go in and finish sewing my trek dress.

You may say, "good plan" - yes, it was a very good plan! PLAN BREAKER: waking up with a MIGRAINE!!! So I've spent a quiet day lazing around, just barely able to get up and write this blog...

Here's to great uninterrupted plans for tomorrow...
