AnneLine Posted March 2, 2013 Author Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) don't have that problem. i will have to choose something else. i am naturally organized. Well... pray for those of us who weren't 'born organized', Debra. Once you decide on something you can give to God, let us know and we'll pray for you, too!!! Edited March 2, 2013 by AnneLine
AnneLine Posted March 3, 2013 Author Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) Happy Sunday, everyone!!!! I'm curious to know what kinds of things people are doing to celebrate extra time with family and friends on Saturdays, and what you are doing to 'renew your spirit' on Sundays. What makes these days different from the ordinary work week for you? And what if anything are you doing to incorporate those elements into your daily lives? I tend to find that I really do like to do my weekly 'home blessing hour' on Saturday afternoons... because it lets me do something nice for myself and my family (clean floors, spruced up house, slightly nicer meal) signalling the approach of Sunday as it comes toward sunset. (If you aren't sure what a 'home blessing hour' is, you can do a search for 'FlyLady' and 'Home Blessing Hour', or you can just wait to find out!) Mr.AnneLine has to go to work on both Saturday and Sunday late in the afternoon. That means he has to sleep in, yet we need to get in Sunday Mass. For that reason, our Sunday meal can't be very fancy... so we tend to have a bit of a special meal at noontime on Saturdays. It is our reminder that Sunday is coming!!!! It's also a way we make time for each other. I tend to hang out with friends (in person, on line) on Saturday evenings. And I try to get some extra time with God that night, too! All in all, it's a nice way to ease into Sunday! Now that I am 'flying' more consistently I have time to dress a little more nicely on Sunday and to go over the week's Readings prayerfully before we go to Mass. Tend to make good use of this website: http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/030313.cfm The extra time is letting me get some extra time alone with God to just be more contemplative, do some journaling, go for a prayerful walk....and I'm starting to look forward to that extra time with God. A few times a month I'm scheduling extra time to go down to the Church for Adoration on Sunday afternoons, too! This is a HUGE difference in how I would have spent my weekends a few months ago... and I think it is is partly because I'm not running around quite so crazily trying to get everything done.... the daily routines are starting to have their effect of helping me to simply 'be' more than 'run' more. (Trust me, some days and some weekends that's relative, so don't beat yourselves up... but if I miss a day, I am finding it easier to get back 'on the fly-wagon'!!!!) Anyone else having this experience? Is flying working for you, or are you feeling a little overwealmed by it? Sunday of the 3rd Week of Lent WEEKENDS ARE FOR REST AND RENEWAL!!!! Sundays - do something to Renew your Spirit.

Lilllabettt Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 must say ... I am not doing the challenge but I find your updates so refreshing Anneline ... gives me a burst of energy. keep it up!
Immanuel Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 thank you so much,Anneline. This is a crazy inspiration for me as well. I'm trying the challenge. I especially loved your quote that even though we may clean our homes imperfectly, it is still a blessing to our family. :flowers:
AnneLine Posted March 3, 2013 Author Posted March 3, 2013 must say ... I am not doing the challenge but I find your updates so refreshing Anneline ... gives me a burst of energy. keep it up! Lilllabettt.... I'm glad you find the updates refreshing. Writing it down gives ME a little more energy as well... because I can see the progress if I step back and stare a bit.... otherwise I tend to focus on what still isn't done (and it is lots... trust me, railcar loads... but clearable 15 mins at a time.... pray for me....). Feel free to ask questions... because that will help me come up with interesting updates.... thank you so much,Anneline. This is a crazy inspiration for me as well. I'm trying the challenge. I especially loved your quote that even though we may clean our homes imperfectly, it is still a blessing to our family. :flowers: You're very welcome, Immanuel. I will admit it is a little discombobulating to have Immanuel praising me or bringing ME flowers! ;) I'm glad you are trying the challenge.... and it IS a challenge, isn't it. I can't claim any ownership over that quote... it is one of FLYLady's favorites, and I find it very consoling.....and it totally meshes with St. Therese's comments about doing little things with love.... definitely encourages me when I feel frustrated.... Anyone else?
AnneLine Posted March 4, 2013 Author Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) Monday of the 3rd Week of Lent Mr. AnneLine had the day and night off (!) and we went out for dinner. (!!!) Meant I got home later than I anticipated and then PhatMass wouldn't let me in to post this. So.... sorry this is being posted a bit late! Today we start learning about FLYLady's Zones and how they help us keep focused and stop burnout. These are probably some of the best things I have learned from FLYLady. Hope you find them helpful, too! FLYLady's 13th Day Today find one of Kelly's missions and go do it. They are fast and easy. This will help you to start to introduce you to breaking your home into zones to keep it clean. You can find the missions in the Launch Pad. http://www.flylady.net/c/lp.php MORNING ROUTINE: Dress to shoes Look look at posted remindersRead your FlyLady emails or check her website Recognize negative voices and change them Put out hot spot for 2 mins 5 minute Room rescue (any room).

AnneLine Posted March 5, 2013 Author Posted March 5, 2013 Tuesday of the 3rd Week of Lent Wow, hard to believe it's almost the end of the second full week of this challenge! It's subtle, but I am seeing some changes. I slept in a bit today (had some major things happen in my world and got to bed later than I would have liked... but I still got dressed and ready to go when I did get up. Zone 2 work in the kitchen this week -- wiped off the counters and put away stuff that didn't need to be out. Took about 12 minutes... and the difference is AMAZING. Today plan to wipe off the shelves in the fridge by just moving things from one side to the other.... 15 minutes max or until done... and pick up where I left off today tomorrow if I am not done. Yes, I can see where this is going... More of my house is under control than a few weeks back. Other things are a work in progress... but I am ok with that. I'm feeling a lot less panicky.... as if I know what I am doing behind the wheel of the cockpit of my flying machine. I may not be completely airborne, but I definitely can feel the power of the vehicle under me... and I know it is just a matter of time before I am really off the ground! FLYLady's 14th Day go read the essay by FLYLady's assistant, Kelly, about using a calendar. http://www.flylady.net/d/kellys-guide-on-how-to-use-a-calendar/ I liked Kelly's suggestions about putting things into the calendar as they come up so nothing gets forgotten. I've also found it helpful to make use of the 'cozi calendar' as well. You could do this with any web-based or smart-phone based reminder system as well.... just remember to synch it with the on-line calendar on a regular basis.... that's how I use my 'desk day'... it's part of my Sunday renew-my-spirit and plan-next week day. Here's a link to some info about Flying and Cozi in case you want to explore that: http://www.flylady.net/d/cozi/ A quick check of your calendar morning and evening is now on the daily routines! Checking the calendar the night before reminds you want you need to do the next day. Checking it in the morning is a safety net to be sure you don't forget something important!

AnneLine Posted March 6, 2013 Author Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) Wednesday of the 3rd Week of Lent Well... fell down on the job a bit yesterday. Got some stuff done... and then fell prey to inertia. SO... gonna pick myself back up and get back on the flywagon today. Planning on spending that 15 mins wiping off the shelves in the fridge, and need to focus on some things that need to be done by Friday. Every one of us has vulnerable parts -- the things we want to hide. What would happen if we could get really humble and not hide the truth? How would the way we could serve God change? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYutddrXQdQ I think one of the biggest gifts I can give myself -- we can give ourselves and give to those we love? -- is to accept my own brokenness... to let 'good enough' be good enough. To thank others for the things they do to try to make our lives better.... even when they aren't perfect. We do the best we can. We can do better, changing bit by bit. God loves our attempts to serve Him better. I am grateful for all the things others do to bless me. And that is what I am trying to focus on bit by bit this Lent. Pray for me as I pray for you. :pray: FLYLady's 15th Day Today we start the 3rd week. Each day we are using Control Journal. Each day weare checking for email reminders from Fly Lady or checking her website. Starting today, we add making your bed to the morning routine. Do it as soon as you get up - you will be less likely to forget it!

AnneLine Posted March 7, 2013 Author Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) Thursday of the 3rd Week of Lent Been a rough few days. Too much to do... too little time to do it. Feel a little like a failure sometimes. I need to remember that ultimately this is a process... and attempts are better than not attempting. "God does not require that we be successful; God requires that we try." Bl. M. Teresa That inspiration now is added to my Inspirations page.... I'm doing today's task first -- checking FLYlady's inspirational musing/testimonies/essays. When I am feeling frustrated, I can reach out to others for help and healing. But mostly, I can reach into myself and beg God "Tell me again how much you love me." And I know He does.... But I can and do forget, all too often. I can pick myself up and start again, trusting in God's loving help, and in the support of those who love me. FLYLady's 16th Day Today look in your email box for an email from Fly Lady. It could be a musing, a testimonial or an essay. Just read it. You can also go directly to her webpage and read the message there.

AnneLine Posted March 9, 2013 Author Posted March 9, 2013 Friday of the 3rd Week of Lent Well today has been an interesting day! (Busy, which is why this is going up at 11:45 pm ... but hey, it's still getting posted!!!!) Feels like some kind of a breakthrough happened. Didn't get everything done, but I got more done that I thought I would by just staying focused on doing what I had planned. Got in my prayer time, time for me, time for others.... and time to tell the devil where to go when he tried to discourage me!!!! Yes: I did ENOUGH... and that means I have started to let God re-create me. FLYLady's 17th Day Today think about what time you are going to bed each night. Set a bed time and stick to it.

AnneLine Posted March 10, 2013 Author Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Saturday of the 3rd Week of Lent It is such a blessing to have a Saturday. I've been in a little overdrive last few days, and today I am rejoicing in just working my routines and making some time for me and the people with whom I share my world. One of the things I did was re-type some of my masters for this thread so it is easier to read. Took just a few minutes -- and makes our world nicer. A gift to all of you! And... I let myself have a nap.... and I'm aiming at a good bedtime tonight. And I'm going to go for a good walk and fix a nice dinner for some friends. WEEKENDS ARE FOR REST AND RENEWAL!!!

AnneLine Posted March 11, 2013 Author Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) Monday of the 4th Week of Lent Well, technically it is Sunday evening, and I survived the first day of Daylight Savings Time!!! But I am tired, so I'm planning to go to bed EARLY and read a book while I fall asleep. And I am posting this so it will be waiting for me -- for all of us!!! -- first thing Monday Morning! Did something really nice for myself on Saturday -- totally cleaned out my kitchen. It's so clean and empty it ECHOES!!!!! To do it, I had to put a lot of the clutter that HAD BEEN in the kitchen into the living room. It's a holding pattern, a work in progress, and I knew that going into it. So we had our Sunday meal in the kitchen, and I did NOT work all day on Sunday on it. I took the day off for me and God! I will get to work on the Living Room table and rest of the stuff parked in there today - MONDAY! The stuff will have 3 options: Put Away..... Give Away..... Throw Away! I know I won't get all of it finished today, but I can at least put it into a marching order to deal with during this week. This gives me a clean slate in my kitchen. I'm really excited!!!! Now our bedroom, guest room, and kitchen and eating area in the kitchen make me very happy. :) I'm still hearing from people who are trying the challenge and starting to see some real results. Congratulations! We'll keep praying for each other and working a little bit at a time. FLYLady's 18th Day Read FLYLady's 11 Commandments http://www.flylady.net/d/getting-started/flying-lessons/flyladys-11-commandments/ You may want to print them out or write them in your Control Journal And keep up your daily routine!

AnneLine Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) Tuesday of the 4th Week of Lent Well... it's still so empty it echoes in my kitchen. Kind of odd... but nice, too! Posting this the night before worked REALLY WELL, so I'm doing it again today. I'm starting to feel like I am running the lost-and-found department for PHATMass FLYBabies... Got a message from one of you that she has found the bottom of her sink... another found her kitchen counters another has found a desk... and several people have reported finding missing persons! :eek: ... ;) ... :like3: I'm still adjusting to daylight savings time, and I am glad that I found enough time for SEVERAL naps AND time to pray today while still getting everything done! :sleep3: :saint: What have you found so far this Lent? FLYLady's 19th Day Read the testimonial on the 'Day 19' Beginner Steps page of the FLYLady website... it is about 1/2 way down the page... it starts... "May all our homes be be our own private Bed and Breakfast!" http://www.flylady.net/d/getting-started/31-beginner-babysteps/day-19/ Now THAT is a good motivator!!!!!

AnneLine Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 Wednesday of the 4th Week of Lent Fighting a headcold today, everyone. But I still did my routines. In fact, I don't remember doing them... I just did them. i guess these are becoming habits! Today's new habit is one of my favorites -- if I have taken and kept up ANYTHING from FLYLady over the years, it has been doing laundry the way she suggests. Actually, I dump it into the washer and wash it the night before, dry it in the morning and fold and put it away at night... but that's because my husband and I have odd hours. But it REALLY works -- we NEVER have a pile of unwashed stuff anywhere! And when I don't have a load to wash -- that's when I do the ironing. Works well for us! FLYLady's 20th Day Today we add laundry to the morning, midday and evening routines. It takes just a few minutes if you do it this way: You just do ONE LOAD each day, and do it this way: Morning: Leave your bedroom with a load of laundry in hand and go straight to the washer. Dump in soap, turn it on. Midday: Reboot Laundry (put it into the dryer and turn it on). Midday or Early evening: Fold it and put it away. :) NO MORE MOUNT WASHMORE!!!! Now THAT is a good motivator!!!!! If you want more details, here's the link explaining her system... but you probably won't need it! (She focuses on the Laundry habit during August... which is why it is marked that way....) http://www.flylady.net/d/habits-of-the-month/august/ KEEP DOING YOUR DAILY ROUTINES!

AnneLine Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 bump (Concerned that this was buried under all the Pope Francis posts!) (Special prayers for Pope Francis & Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI)
AnneLine Posted March 14, 2013 Author Posted March 14, 2013 Thursday of the 4th Week of Lent Yes, this is being posted a bit later than I'd intended. Life happens! Well... For the First day of Pope Francis, I had been completely on-track despite having a nasty headcold. I found myself inspired knowing that he had a reputation for doing his own cooking and living simply, and that told me he would totally get what we are doing with this thread! By mid-evening, I had dishes soaking, was finishing up my end of the day routine... when I got a call from work I hadn't expected and that I could NOT avoid. Even though it was within a couple of hours of my scheduled bedtime. And I had no way of anticipating that I would still be on that call several hours later! NOW what to do? Well, I worked my plan. I had finished up my laundry while I was on the call, folding it and putting it into the laundry basket. I realized I simply couldn't do the dishes, because it was just too late and I was too tired by the time I got off the phone. I gave myself permisison to NOT do my task because reality sometimes happens that way. And it felt healthy. I adjusted my morning schedule for next morning to realistically account for the new situation.... blocking in an extra load of dishes in the morning, as well as a slighly later wake-up time. Again, it felt healthy. Said goodnight to God (Mr. AnneLine was already FAST asleep!) and went to sleep in great peace. This morning, I picked up where I left off, working the program, and it didn't overwealm me. I realized: THIS IS WORKING! I am FLYING!!!!!!!! FLYLady's 21st Day Today check out the 'ask FlyLady a question' area of her Launch Pad: You can find it through the main page of her website; check the grey banner at the BOTTOM of the home page: http://www.flylady.net/ OR you can go directly to the current week's questions: http://www.flylady.net/d/br/author/ask-flylady/ Mondays through Fridays, there are new ones each day.

AnneLine Posted March 15, 2013 Author Posted March 15, 2013 Friday of the 4th Week of Lent Thursday I simply focused on working my baby steps. Was tired, but still got the basics done. Very happy and very peaceful. One day at a time! AND... Thursday night I did something nice for myself and did a challenge at the same time. I ordered in my favorite Chinese dinner... and challenged myself to clear off something for the 45 minutes it took to arrive. Ended up with a WHOLE ROOM cleared out... and dinner was served! WOW!!!!! This is huge. I wonder if you all know how huge this is? And how grateful I am to God? Praying for all of you! Please pray for me!!!! Assembling Stuff for the 5th Week of Lent (You'll need these next week....) Week 5 Please assemble: * Microfiber cleaning cloths (or rags) (or paper towels) * Shampoo (leftovers of something you don't like is fine...) * Blue window cleaner (or something similar) * Toilet brush * Toilet brush holder or an old vase/container (I use a cut off bleach bottle....)
