Does anyone want to do an ornament exchange this year? Christmas cards? What we've done before is put addresses in a pm, open to whoever is participating. Then you send everyone on the list something. It was fun in years past but has crept up on me this time!

Ten Thoughts for a Rainy Tuesday

1.  I was really enjoying the mild November we were having. It was fine. It really didn't have to turn cold and rainy. But it did anyway. I don't really like winter... but here it comes anyway.

2. I am enjoying my Thirty-One business. I made $200 last month! And I'm having an open house on Saturday with a friend who sells Mary Kay. Cross your fingers that we sell some and get some good leads for later! Oh, and if you want to buy something as a Christmas gift, use that link, but do it by December 12 to get guaranteed shipping by Christmas.

3. My back has hurt this week. It was feeling so much better, but I slept on it wrong and got my neck all messed up where I couldn't turn my head left. I did go to the chiropractor and she helped a lot. I hate it when they crack your neck, though. I keep thinking I'll be paralyzed or dead or something like what happens in the movies.

4. I'm hooked on Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series of books. If you aren't familiar with them you may have watched Legend of the Seeker on ABC for two seasons. It is medieval good vs. evil with wizards and sorceresses too. But underlying it all is a real sense of living your life in truth. Most people are either dedicated to the Creator or the Keeper. I'm in the 6th book and you're really starting to get a good look at some political things, too. But what I love most are the Wizard's rules. I am going to list them as the rest of my thoughts. Each book introduces one more, so I'm sure there are more to come.

5. Wizard's Rule #1- People will believe a lie either because they want it to be true or because they fear it is.

6. Wizard's Rule #2- The greatest harm can result from the best intentions. I think this is where that enabling comes in.

7. Wizard's Rule #3- Passion rules reason. Yep, been there!

8. Wizard's Rule #4- There is magic in forgiveness- magic that can heal.

9. Wizard's Rule #5- Mind what people do, not only what they say, for deeds will betray a lie.

10. Wizard's Rule #6- The only sovereign you can allow to rule you is reason.

Picture Perfect- Header Competition

Here's a little contest to come up with a new header for the Picture Perfect site. This was taken with my little Canon on the streets of Assisi, Italy. It is my favorite picture of the year!
