Another New Week

It's only Tuesday and I'm already feeling the strain of this week! My husband's organising an Asia-Pacific conference which begins on Thursday and runs through Saturday so he's been running around taking care of details and last minute arrangements, while at the same time working and picking up A from school.

The children have the national fitness test this week (which means aching muscles, fatigue and whining about not being able to complete their chores!), and my daughter has been invited by a classmate to the Ministry of Sound to watch Sean Kingston tonight. With dance lessons on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday and my husband involved in the conference, I have to travel back and forth to caperone my daughter. My son has Chinese tuition on Wednesday and Friday so lots of planning for dinner arrangements.

This morning, while I was waiting for the family to get ready for school and work, I was already feeling the stress. I have some orders to fulfill and new designs to make. However, I felt so much better when I looked out of my study window. I could see the sun rising. Here are two photos, taken at 6.30am,10 minutes apart. Two phrases come to mind: "From the rising of the sun, to its going down, the Lord's name is to be praised!" and "His mercies are new every morning."

I've been working on a new design for a necklace using 6 Swarovski rivolis and just completed it. Really nice. Will upload photos later. Now working on a lovely, sparkly bracelet! Have a great day, friends.
