183 of 366= half

today is:
Wednesday
July 1,2020
day 183 of 366 
halfway through the week
50% through the year
it's time to take stock of where I am

the day started with coffee, yogurt and bacon

time with Jesus

6,000 steps 

the afternoon was filled with "doing the things"

chores

returning items 

grocery shopping

picking up my computer that is housing a new battery

I was going to sit on the porch swing and scroll meaninglessly all evening

BUT

My friend Karen lives on a farm

her husband Keith raises laying hens

I have kind of gotten spoiled? addicted? to farm fresh eggs

I was out

 she had plenty 

and I was craving them

so I asked if I could come out and pick up a couple dozen

I thought the reason I was going to the the farm was to get eggs for breakfast

but I left with eggs...

 and homemade hotdog sauce to add to my supper

2 Nathan's hot dogs with sauce and mustard

chunky cinnamon applesauce

made a delicious meal

I never intentionally match my dishes 

but here we are again

I sent Karen a text thanking her for the sauce

and I realized, 

after her reply, 

that what I really needed was not eggs, 

but a visit with her

when I think back to January 1,2020

and revisit disciplines I wanted to incorporate in my life

I'd have to say today is a good representation of steady progress

of doing rather than procrastinating

of seeing and appreciating "small" gifts

of making better health choices

of exercising self discipline

God gave me eyes to see what I needed to see today
strength and courage to do "the things"
and ended my day with a gorgeous goodnight kiss
I don't know what the rest of this year holds,
I hope and plan on continued growth
