jumping jacks of life

In, out, up, down.  That's life. And like exercise, some days we handle it better than others.

In - 1/2 of what I planted in my garden is growing nicely.
Out- The deer discovered my peas this morning and I've yet to crank the tiller.

In - My sewing room is 90% clean and organized.
Out - I was reminded yesterday of how little time was left to complete two projects. I think I'm still okay and will be able to get everything done in time, but someone else I know is a tad concerned. :)

In - we've brought my bp back down to moderately high levels the last 2 days.
Out - If all this eating healthy hasn't resolved my bp issues, I want my chocolate chip cookies and sweet tea and Dr. Pepper back!

In - My cousin Ashley is coming home from the hospital tomorrow (MS, mid20s), my cousin Rachel was able to take her 5th chemo treatment today AND the tumor has shrunk, and situations with others are improving/stabilizing as well.
Out- everyone keeps getting sick
 
In - my Redeemer loves me
Out- when I look in the mirror of His word and see His reflection, it doesn't look anything like me at all.

So that's Monday for you. Lots of good things; lots of jumps.
