Starting a New Topic ~ Inspirational Quotes =)

Seems I have gotten into a habit (the good kind) of posting some meaningful quotes to me and hopefully for others on my Facebook page.  So, my thought is to start posting them right here on my blog as well =)  I am going to copy the ones that were on my page with their dates and will start a new daily post from there on out.  The quotes mostly have been from two books I have my nose into, one is called, "The Woman's Book of Courage" by Sue Patton Thoele.  A friend I have had since I was in 6th grade gave it to me a few years back and just recently opened it for the first time.  It is wonderful in my opinion!  The 2nd book I am getting many of the quotes from is a book by Claudia Black, PhD,  "The Truth Begins With You".

What I did yesterday... Staining our Amish Built Swing!

So I decided yesterday was the day I was going to stain our new swing that I pretty much found in a local Amish families yard!  He promised me I wasn't taking his wife's swing and that it was there to purchase.  Soooo anyway, I love our new swing!  I really love it since I stained it yesterday for over 6 hours...our neighbor down the hill was even yelling up that they loved the color (of course while I was laying under it, yesssss, I even painted the bottom of it!)  Let me know what you think, I am pretty proud of it, especially since it was the first time I stained anything besides my shirt...giggles, I crack me up!  =P
