Hour by Hour

As planned, we went to Tampa yesterday. We had considered that area before we decided to settle in the Orlando area. Housing was cheaper, but many of the perks we sought were to be found in here... especially daughter Athena. All in all, we are very pleased to be where we are. Tampa os okay, but there was little there to draw us back.

As for today, I got quite a bit done and have been diligently using my planner and timer. My repeating timer and our new chiming clock announce every hour on the hour. When they do, I am to check my planner during waking hours and switch to the task assigned to that hour, unless common sense would preclude doing so, for example, I am 5 minutes away from finishing the previous duty, or I'm in the middle of something I cannot easily leave.

The idea is not to fall so far behind and to become better at time allotment. I am improving steadily and am pleased with the amount of order it's bringing into my days. I need to get a handle on just keeping the house, getting food on the table, etc. so I can do some genealogy and scan in photos and keepsakes. I also want to do some graphics projects and play around with art a bit.

I am reading more, too, spending at least an hour a day in scripture and now also reading a novel. I lose track of the details a lot, but I am generally following the story, I think.

So, life is good, and I am blessed beyond the telling... praying the same is true fro you.
