Today has been a great day to choose positivity, following 2 other great days.
Thursday I did most of my workout and made a huge pot of soup with onion, carrots, celery, cabbage, corn, pumpkin, ground turkey and plant based sausage. It turned out great. There are two people that work in our building that we always share with. One is an older, single gentleman and the other is a widow who lost her cook. They were happy too!
Friday I was able to do my entire workout! Karen had brought home a bag of onions that I would not have bought but I knew it wasn’t all bad so I cut off the ugly parts and sliced them up. I added butter and pepper and let the slow cook in the crockpot for hours and we have caramelized onions for everything! We had planned to go look at Christmas lights but we both pushed our workouts a bit so instead we massaged AromaTouch into each other’s backs and did facials and eye masks.
Today I boiled a bunch of hard boiled eggs…a staple in our house…and then I took the bag of apples someone gave us and chopped them up in the crockpot, added some Wild Orange oil and cinnamon and it is becoming apple sauce at this very moment! It smells so good in here. Karen has had several days off from work so we have had to adjust spending so much time together. Today I made her soak her feet. She loved it. At one point Xavier was complaining at us. He had everything he needed…eventually I got done putting the laundry away and said: Mama when you are not here, we do our chores until we are tired and take a nap…Xavier jumped on the bed and moved to his blanket at her feet and we all took a nap.
Tonight we will probably stream a movie and tomorrow I will tackle some of the cleaning that has waited while I cooked for 3 days.

My name is Summer. That is how you can call me. I hope that I am a blessing to you. I am not perfect. I will fall again. But I am forgiven.
Do you know Jesus? Do want the Holy Spirit to fill you and give you understanding and salvation? Ask Him. Want someone to pray with you? Contact me.
If you would like to know Jesus as your friend, but want to make this amazing commitment by yourself please pray something like this:
Thank you Jesus that You are the Son of God, the God that created heaven and earth. Thank you Jesus that You came to earth in the form of a man so that You would be able to empathize with my humanity. Thank You that You did this in order to fulfill the promises You made at the foundation of the world.
I realize that I am a sinner and do things that hurt myself and keep myself away from you. Thank You that You died for my sins so that You could defeat death and bring me into Your life. Please forgive me.
I ask You to be Lord of my life. I ask you to heal my hurts and show me what my new life, empowered by You looks like. Thank You for Your mercy.
