We went to Prescott yesterday [8-06-06]. Had a BEAUTIFUL day. Picnicked in the park, went to a farmers market, shopped a little, wandered and visited with Markey.

I almost didn't go, cause I was tired, cranky and just not feelin' well. But Steve insisted and he REALLY wanted to go. So I thought I would buck up and go. Man Leesh, we had SUCH a nice time. God has been wanting me to RELAX and get away and have FUN.

We are going to do something fun, every weekend. What a difference in outlook and just having fun. My big complaint is that Steve works all the time, and so do I. We've had 8 years of fighting, 6 years of BAD fighting and just always always working. YOU know how it is. Well baby, I'm taking my own advise and taking time off.

And as I told Steve Friday nite. God expects us to work yes, but he ALSO expects us to PLAY. Working all the time is not trusting God AND it's not being a good steward of the time and lives he gave us. Working all the time has made me physically sick and cranky. Life is not supposed to be a cross we bear all the time, it's supposed to be fun too.
God says he will give us more than we can ask or think. Well, if we don't stop to play NOW, how will we know we have it, and/or, why should he give us stuff if we don't play NOW? He trusts us with small stuff first, to see if we are trustworthy, able to handle it, do it right, etc. Well, one of those things is having fun.

I don't want to be known as a work-a-holic. Steve says I'm not as bad as I used to be. HURRAY! And having fun is NECESSARY to good health and being happy. And it's more than playing a game on the computer. It's taking time AWAY from the house, the work, the business.

So OFF WITH THE GUILT and ON WITH THE FUN!!!
