Counting the small things in life

I've come to realise how absolutely I am. Yes, there is still so much I take for granted, but I try to make a conscious effort to be thankful and grateful everyday for everything. Yesterday was one of those kick in the guts moments when I realised what I have. I was supposed to take cupcakes to the church for the Feed-the-hungry program they do at the Good News House on Thursdays. Well, I got sick Tuesday, have been a nervous wreck about joining the church this coming Sunday, found out my brother may have been going into the hospital (which he is now) and DH was uber upset about his day at work, yada yada yada. And.... well..... I forgot . I sat down to eat dinner and kept thinking that I had yummy warm food, a place to sleep and a wonderful family full of and I failed someone that has so much less than I. And I couldn't eat.

So PLEASE count your blessings, no matter how small! There is ALWAYS someone that has it worse than you somewhere out there!

On a side note, if you would please add my brother and my parents to your prayers, I'd appreciate it!

The much requested COUPON BINDER! A how-to pictorial

First you start with a LARGE 3-ring binder . I was able to get about a dozen of these for 50-75¢ each at a thrift shoppe, brand new. Mine are from a business complete with logo, but that's ok. 50-75¢ sure beats 8 bucks at Wal-mart. Plus mine DOES have a front pocket, in case I want to make it a bit purtier. Some people prefer a zippered binder. These are GREAT if you can afford the dough for a LARGE one. This one is especially great as it has a handle for carrying. You'll also need some pocket pages . I prefer the 4-per-page pages. The pockets are a little bigger, which is GREAT for those LONG coupons (which stick out, so I fold them in half) and those WIDE coupons, and especially for holding more coupons than their miniature counterparts! Now others have had luck with other pages. They come in 1-pocket (also known as sheet protectors, which we'll be using as well- we'll get to that later), 2 pocket, 4-pocket, 5-pocket, 6-pocket, 8-pocket; 9-pocke t. Anything with more...

I've moved!!!

In order to simplify, I'll be getting rid of most of my blogs & just downsizing my internet network. We've made a move that you can read about at my new blog, but suffice to say- we're beginning a new life, in a new state, new job, etc. So if you want to hear more about it, Meet me in Wyoming . Don't forget to update your bookmarks!!!
