Is turning out to be a challenge! But I’m still doing better than I was.
Today I slept in. Then I had prayer and Bible reading after I woke up, and then I looked at one of my Ideals magazines (the Inspiration issue) and ate Sour Skittles for breakfast while I read it… in bed.
Yes, I decided to pamper myself this morning. lol I absolutely LOVE my Ideals magazines! Sadly, they are out of print, but we bought a whole bunch of the back issues and the one I picked out today just HAPPENED to be a January issue… from 1977.
The poems and the pictures always make me smile.
For those of you who know what I’m talking about, the first Ideals magazine I became acquainted with was at Grandma’s house.. I think it was missing its cover. But it was a spring issue and it was full of springtime illustrations and poems and I ADORED it and read it cover to cover many times over. Uncle Ricky would sketch the pictures out of it. Unfortunately, that magazine was lost and I don’t even know what year it was printed, although I know it was probably an Easter issue. But Mommy and I re-discovered them in an antique store last year and then searched online and found a whole bunch of them. I wish I owned the entire collection!
Its sad that something so nice, simple and wholesome is considered “dated” and “irrelevant” today… the main reason, I’m sure, that it is out of print. I think that if I could do one thing in my writing career, I would love to bring that publication back!
Right now it’s almost 3:00 in the afternoon and I still need to clean my room, so I’ll probably go do that now. I have an almost-finished cup of coffee on my desk, clothes on my bed, and more clothes on my floor. lol It’s not TOO bad, but it does need some attention.
Have a wonderful wintery afternoon, everyone!
P.S. I’m so ready for SPRING.
