I used to be very haphazard with my time and had to learn to schedule, but then got so caught up scheduling that I would get VERY irritated when things didn't go according to schedule, so had to learn to loosen up and roll with it sometimes. A friend who had grown up a missionary kid was wonderfully balanced with scheduling/organizing and adapting/making do, and I learned so much from her when we worked together in our ladies' group at church.<br /><br />Hope you stay warm and safe and the power stays on!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-30850209169656153112011-01-19T08:45:24.198-05:002011-01-19T08:45:24.198-05:00I could see having fun blowing snow.
