get motivated.
When Mark was here it was easy to be motivated to ‘do’ things. I have always loved ‘doing’ for and with him since the beginning when we were dating. That’s 46 years and now I find myself sort of walking in a haze when I first get up, as now it’s all up to me to figure out everything that needs doing. I think it will get easier, but these past three weeks have been hard adjusting to do just ‘doing’ for me.
I even feel a bit guilty for ‘doing for me’ now and I shouldn’t. A verse came to me this afternoon after I had worked on my garden project and on the patio garden area. It was this: Col 3:23 ~ And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord. ~ This was what I needed and is especially more meaningful to me as God is now my husband.
I made a homemade pizza tonight, something we both loved. The timer just went off, so I will say goodnight for now. I will enjoy supper and raise my glass of red wine in a toast to God for his goodness and to my dear sweet Mark who enjoyed my cooking.

Another verse for today:
Isaiah 41:10
Fear Not
I am with thee
Be Not Dismayed
I am thy God
I will strengthen thee
I will help thee
I will uphold thee
Yes when I first found myself alone it was hard to make the transition from doing things for other people, to doing them just for me. I thing you are doing great. Hugs.
