Hi friends– I don’t know about you, but I live by check lists. Errands to run, emails to send, house chores to do, people to talk with… The list doesn’t always add up to the best kind of day. So I’m thinking of a new check list– here it is:
A DAY WORTH LIVING
#1. Get up early.
#2. Sit quietly before God- reading, praying, thinking.
#3. Spend the morning doing something productive.
#4. Get some sunshine.
#5. And a little exercise.
#6. Do something fun.
#7. Make someone feel loved.
#8. Learn something new.
#9. Pull together a meal to share.
#10. Find a good book and read yourself to sleep.
I wonder what your list would include. Is there something I’ve forgotten?? What would make a truly worthwhile day??
P.S. Photo is coming in from playing in the yard with little Lois– that always improves the day!
The Thankful Heart 
I love this new check list, Rhonda! 😘🦋
Why thanks Cate!! OK, I have a question. Does you son Live in Scotland?? I thought you were all traveling together, but then I got the idea his home is there. It looked like a wonderful time in a beautiful place!! You know how to make anything fun! Glad you’re home safe and sound! xo
Thanks Rhonda. They do live there at least until the end of the year. He is getting his Masters from Edinburgh university. I am planning a blog series on the trip. Hope to begin soon.
Oh I hope so Cate — loved the handful of photos on facebook. That’s so cool that he’s there and even cooler than you got the chance to go see it all with him! hugs!
AMEN Rhonda!mine is pretty close!
Oh hi! Fun to hear from you– and loved reading through your kitchen remodel– you found some great bargains! Our kids are remodeling all their house too– and after almost a year it’s almost done! We took a little walk through yesterday. take care. xo
Hi Rhonda-thank you for reading my post.I am a bargain gal for sure! Yeah- for your kids. So fun to see before and after! take care xo
Yep we’ve been taking photos all along the way (like you have!)– so great to see the progress! Waiting to see what you come up with next! xo
Add take a nap after lunch
Good one Dave! I’m with you on that– especially Sunday afternoon naps on the couch in front of the football game!
A great list Rhonda.
thanks friend. xo
Sounds like a perfect day! ❤️❤️
Hi Debi– yep, if I can get to most of the list… how did the first volley ball games go? Looks like so much fun! xox
They played well, won a few, and felt good about their performance. Thanks for asking!!! Looks like you are having fun in San Francisco!!!
Hey Debi– yep, always fun with Lois and her parents! So great that you get in on the girls activities! It’s the best. hugs!
Sounds divine!
Hi Cindy– thanks! I’d love a few or your worthwhile travel days!! xo
That’s perfect list! I wouldn’t add anything more to it!
Glad you think so too. Loved your quick trip to Aberdeen– looks like a stately city! xo
Amazing list, Rhonda! I would add on my list #be always positive and smile 🙂 ❤ I am glad to read that you are having a great time! 🙂 Enjoy every single minute!
You’re so right Vero– that can make a lot of things work better! xox
Perfect list and I love the photograph. I’ve been wanting to get a little more sunshine, but it’s just too darn cold here to matter!
I can imagine! Do you have snow now Marcia?? Too cold to walk?? We’re visiting our daughter & son-in-law in Wisconsin end of February so I’m gearing up for cold days!! Any advice?? xox
I love that photo, Rhonda! So cute! And a great list!
thanks Daisy– Ani (Lois’ mom) took the picture– I just stole it from a text she sent! I keep thinking of your post on the two years of changed eating– it was so encouraging. You’re amazing Daisy!
Children always improve the day so I would likely add spend quality time with your children and actively listen to what they are saying. Good list.
Love that Lisa. Children should be at the top of the list– and listening, well that’s something we all need to keep working on… Great idea. hugs!
Thanks Rhonda, and what a lovely photo of you and Lois. Being with toddlers always cheers me up–they love the world so much. I love this step on your list: Sit quietly before God- reading, praying, thinking. I want to do that more often. In the mornings before the day starts would be a good time! Another thing I love to do is run, as you know, and also there is a little path across from my Library where many lilac bushes grow in spring–can’t wait to go in there on my breaks for a few minutes of quiet and lovely lilac air. xo
Hi Rhonda – this is a darn near perfect list. The one thing I might amend is #7 – get or give a hug. Because you know sometimes we mortals need to feel loved by someone else. -Kat
You’e so right Kat!! I need to add that in! My friend Jenni always says, “Spend all your hugs and kisses.” Hope your day has it’s share o hugs. I always love hearing from you Kat. thanks. xo
