A Mix of Lessons

Lesson 1 – Don’t keep writing and rewriting blog posts in your head – because they will never get from your head to your blog! Actually sit down and just blog!

Lesson 2 – Try not to be too disappointed when people or circumstances let you down – this has happened TWICE in the last 12 hours!

Lesson 3 – Don’t apologise for buying things that have ABSOLUTELY NO PURPOSE other than to make you smile.

It made me smile even more as I had already bought it before seeing it featured in my favourite magazine Country Living.

Lesson 4 – Don’t put off making buttons for your blog/store. I have been procrastinating for ages, then the other morning made this :

Lesson 5 – Try to to let your daughter see your nerves as she waits to sit her first ever piano exam, even if it does make you relive your own piano-learning days!

Lesson 6 – Try not to panic about being asked to lead an adult bible-study group at Church (prayers appreciated, I start this Sunday morning during Sunday School).

Lesson 7 – GET MORE ORGANISED for the St Patricks Day Blogging Carnival on this blog on 17 March! – please promise you will come along and join in, even if you don’t have any even remote connection to Ireland. (There will be prizes – which I think this year will include some Cadbury mini-eggs and cream eggs – then you can tell me if they are different from those available where you live!)

Lesson 8 – Although I love to take photos, and add them to my blog, sometimes allow yourself to create a blog post almost without photos.
