I read a real neat post over at my friend Shani's the other day. Please go read her post and then you will understand fully what this 10's list is truly about.
I am going to name 10 things I like about myself, and then I want you to leave me a comment about 10 things you like about yourself. It is time we start building each other up, and time we begin looking for the positives in ourselves.

 I was very sweetly surprised this last week. A new bloggy friend gave me a award. Thank you soooooo much Lisa@mommyof2g1b.blogspot.com
Now I must pass this award on to 3 other people in bloggyland... 3 can you imagine for me to only pick 3 !!! I read so many wonderful blogs out there that it makes it hard to choose just three...
Well I will start with my first friend Antoinette ( aka Reporter Atoinette [0;)
I just LOVE reading about her home church, homeschool, and life her family and horses.

Second to my friend Tina aka solidrock
I am gleaning soooooooooo much from her tightwad homeschool and life savy. She has graded one son and three more to go ! It is very nice to find others who also have some teens young adults in the house and homeschool.
.
Now I will give our the third award....to Shani aka Celticmom. She has a wonderful blog. She has been very encouraging to me. I have got some GREAT and YUMMY recipes from her on Tightwad Tuesdays. She has saw me through with my Anti-Procrastination Challenge Project. How could I ask for more ?
Thank-you Shani !
As for my Nature Walk this weeks post ???? You have to wait till tomorrow and you will SEE a lot of pics.
"If mothers could learn to do for themselves what they do for their children when these are overdone, we should have happier households. Let the mother go out to play!
If she would have the courage to let everything go when life becomes too tense, and just take a day, or half a day, out in the fields, or with a favourite book, or in
a picture gallery looking long and well at just two or three pictures, or in bed, without the children, life would go on far more happily for both children and parents.
The mother would then be able to hold herself in "wise passiveness’ and would not fret her children by continual interference even of hand or eye - she would let them
be." ...Charlotte Mason
