Small Success Thursday -

"If you wish to strengthen your confidence in God still more, often recall the loving way in which He has acted toward you, and how mercifully He has tried to bring you out of your sinful life, to break your attachment to the things of earth and draw you to His love."  — St. Alphonsus Liguori

Good morning and Happy Thursday!

The storms blew through last night. We even cancelled our Moms & Margaritas. Sigh.  Tonight we are supposed to have baseball. By we, I mean my child. However, it will likely get rained out.

I'd like to appeal to Catholic Bloggers. Please participate in Small Success Thursday. I know we are all busy. But I love this positive and upbeat way to look at our lives and I do not want to see it go away. So go to Catholicmom.com and link up! Pretty please.

Here are my Small Successes this week. I'm linking up with Small Success Thursday, over at Catholicmom.com. Join me?!

Making One Car Work. Ok, it's a truck. Anyway... A typical Co-Op Thursday looks like this. Up at 5:30am to take the hubs to work. I come home, make sure I'm ready for class and make breakfast for us. Then we get dressed and leave about an hour before it starts, because we go to a co-op about 30 minutes or so away. We like to stop at Starbucks.

          Oh and real quick, check out the Divine Mercy eBook over at Catholic Inspired. Using it today to help teach my Saint's Class on Saint Faustina.

Clean House. Ok, it's a little dusty and the carpets need to be PROFESSIONALLY cleaned... However, Marque is home this week, so I stayed home from baseball practice and cleaned the bathrooms upstairs and wiped everything down... Sure, I clean while he is gone. But it's more of a quick clean... and a REAL clean was way past due. Please tell me you understand. lol

Taking Time for Me. More days than not, I've had uninterrupted time to read my Magnificat and ponder my relationship with God. Sigh - it's so important to take time for ME!  When Marque's travel schedule ramps up, it's hard to take time for me, because I become mom, dad, janitor, fixer, school teacher, etc. And it's like "where'd I go?!" I'm not complaining. I'm so blessed.

Paid Off Another Card. It's a slow process for us, this paying off debt. But we paid off a card and I could not be happier. We have a long way to go, but like other small successes, I like to take a moment to acknowledge progress, however small.

I hope and pray you have a great day.

Blessings,

Emily
