Finally, after almost a whole week of cloud coverage; we had a blue bird sky. It felt wonderful to have sun rays streaming through the windows. Of course the wind chill was in the thirties and you could feel it to the bones. But the sky was gorgeous.

I have been catching up on house work that I have neglected for a long time. I have no desire to do much of anything and I have been doing the basics on cleaning. I have good intentions; even writing down what I want to do each day. But, nine times out of ten, I find myself sitting on the couch instead of finishing a chore. Some days I don't even make any bread.

Year before last I was trying to clear the clutter that I had let pile up. Somewhere I had read that a cluttered house is the sign of a cluttered soul. Sounded sort of like the phrase-cleanliness is next to godliness. I felt that getting my house in order would help to bring happiness back into my life. I did get rid of a lot; but I have plenty more to sort through. Maybe that is why I am still trying to find more of that thing called happiness.

But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the Lord thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; For the Lord thy God is a merciful God; he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.
Deuteronomy 4:29-31
