My goal is to declutter the clutter, no matter what or where it's at, one day at a time.
Current (and ongoing) project: Recipe Organization
Each "work" day, I take the time to copy, or cut and paste, at least 5 recipes. I have a bad habit of printing of or making a copy of a recipe, then clipping it to my fridge magnet. It got so heavy, it fell off (sigh).
Step two to this project, is to take the recipe titles and record them on a word document, so that I can simply access it for dinner/meal ideas when planning my meals. It's hard to remember every good recipe we use or try.
Current Bible Verse:
Philippians 4:6
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

I have a bad habit of borrowing worry. Yep. I do it then beat myself up for stressing myself out.
The vet was here yesterday, and after he spoke to us about our billy goat's horn situation, I did it again. I worried. Worried all night, and worried this morning.
I know that we are doing what we can, but yet I still let myself worry. You see, his horn is almost touching his head (and had I been told this by our last vet I would have de-horned him at that exact moment in his life...) and the vet cannot cut anymore off. The only option now is to watch it and wait. If it continues to grow, we are looking at the possibility of driving him several hours away, and having him dehorned surgically. His horn span is large and there are many risks. Cost for surgery is also an issue. Again...worry.
Worry brings anger and a whole kaboodble of other emotions....."why didn't that lady tell us" "why didn't someone suggest this earlier" .....why, why, why?
Today, I am reading and praying, and putting my trust in the Lord.
"Serenity is not freedom from the storm, but peace amid the storm."

I hope you find a solution for the billy goat. Worry is sometimes not the best thing for our health but it is also hard NOT to worry.
P.S. Glad your computer is working now!
You're right.....worry brings you nothing but stress which you don't need. Faith....deep breaths, stay busy, yoga, meditate, journal, walk,...these are the things that bring me peace and keep me from feeling overwhelmed.
Also, prayers from others...I'll say a prayer or more! What do goats do out in the wild? They don't have vets. How did these animals manage to live for thousands of years without our interference? Just curious as I know nothing about goats.
