Putting in Place

My life seems to be a series of putting things into place. The house clean and in place. My children's hearts and attitudes in place. Our homeschool in place to be successful. My marriage in place. And God in place at the head leading it all.
Then of course there is the proper french use of the term "Mise en Place" when in the kitchen. The kitchen is where I am happiest and most confident in my abilities. It is my creative outlet. With a big chef's knife in my hand preparing to cook a meal for my family all seems right.
Welcome to my ramblings about Mise en Place!

Positivity

I'll be frank...Blogs have always seemed, to me, to be like a big, open group discussion at a party. I'm more of a one-on-one, go out for coffee talk time kind of person. Although I enjoyed reading the blogs of friends and family I NEVER thought I would share stories with so little control of where they travel to; without the ability to see the faces, reactions and expressions of you reading them. And yet here I am having just created a blog titled "putting in place" because I've become aware of how glass half-empty I view things and express my views of lately. For the last year or so I've been journaling & while some of it is more prayer like pouring out my heart I've also tried to focus on writing things I'm thankful for. I wondered what would happen if I gave up some perceived control and forced myself to have confidence in only what I write to show me as a thankful person. So here's me trying to raise my glass half full and saying cheers to this experiment.
