Initially, ‘Glasses of Grace’ started because my niece, Grace, had to get glasses for reading. Since grace is such a spiritual topic and the fact that my niece is such a doll, I started thinking about the ways God shows us His grace on a daily basis. From His servings, His 'glasses of grace' to us - to seeing the world through the eyes of grace (or Grace, since she had new glasses and better sight), it made sense in more ways than one, so a title was born. Blessings and all, this is my life…

AAhhhhh......

Tax deadline day.....Can I just say how glad I am that today is finally here?? With the 15th falling on Sunday and yesterday being Emancipation Day, it pushed the deadline two days later than normal, but I'm glad it's finally here. It's like my second birthday of the year! I went to dinner with friends to celebrate, then home to begin trying to find links for the 'thinking blogger' thing I promised I'd get done over the weekend. It's old news now, I know, but if there is anything that I am, I am a girl of my word. I am working on it and have two or three. Once I get five, which should be relatively soon, I'll post them. I know I said I'd do it over the weekend, but I just ran out of time....Tracey listing my faves put a crimp in my plan! :-)

We went bowling for Grace's birthday party on Friday night and had LOTS of fun. I hadn't been bowling in ages and had forgotten how much fun it was. I came in next to last with the 'big people' but I got two strikes, so I was happy about that! Since Grace's birthday is April 13, my sister usually has her party on the Saturday closest to it and I can never go because of having to work, so I was thrilled that she did it on Friday night and I could be there. Nothing like spending the evening with about 6 or 7 eight year old's! :-) Saturday was spent working, Sunday was church, nap, church, then Monday and today have been finishing up tax deadline work. Our office is closed on Friday, so I am thrilled that a three day weekend is looming on my horizon...

Nothing more, nothing less, just life as I know it...

You must feel like I do when my Christmas and Spring programs are over. Just unbelievable relief. However, the down side is that I am then faced with so many things that have been put on hold, and have suddenly become urgent.

I'm so glad you survived tax season! I used to work at a cell phone company and from Thanksgiving to Christmas was HORRIBLE! The extended hours and busy days made for a serious grinch over here! Everyone else would have the Christmas ring tones and I had, You're a mean one mr grinch!(needless to say I reeeally enjoyed Christmas this year, not working there!) I'm sure tax season much be about the same for you!

Just Play, and relax this weekend. Don't even think of doing anything productive.

I have a pillow that has this written on it:
OH HOW PLEASANT IT IS TO DO NOTHING...AND REST AFTERWARDS.

This can be your motto this weekend. Enjoy!
