busy/good/fun october! {aLOT of pics included}

you know, 'busy' to some people means a negative thing. 'busy' to me is a good thing. let me explain ... by busy-ness, i mean continually doing things that i am blessed with the energy and the health to do. oh yes, i DO love my down times when all i do is sit and read a magazine, or watch some mindless tv, but those times are fueling times. too much down/fueling time for me is a recipe for laziness and often times my mind begins to worry and fret. being 'busy' with things that inspire and energize me is good for me emotionally, spiritually and physically.

october was a month full of those good 'busy', energizing moments for me. there were photo shoots and scrapbook design team deadlines, editing deadlines, quality family times, and a renewed plan of regular exercising. most importantly, october was full of quality personal time with my Lord. alot ... alot of praying to,talking with, and worshipping my Lord.

i'll just let my photos walk you through some of my beautiful october moments ... k? click on any of the images to get a larger view of them.

a visit to wheaton to see my niece, danielle, in her high school play:

...okay, so that isn't even all of my blessed october. throw in quality conversations, good exercise, good doctor reports, a much needed hair appt., gorgeous days of beautiful fall weather, organizing and Goodwill-ing, good old fashion deep house cleaning, and i think that pretty much covers my blessed, {good}busy, beautiful october 2010.
