Chit Chat. ....this and that

Yesterday was kind of different with the eclipse and all. I didn't go out right at the time of it,but did venture out a while later.
Nature seemed to be confused a bit to me. Most of the birds were quite, while a couple, what seemed to me, were fussing a bit. The crickets were
singing, although the sun was shinning brilliantly.

Birthday gift from my daughter Regina.

I spent the day indoors though  weeding through books. In my downsizing attempts, I have allowed myself one lone bookshelf.  So I can only keep the number of books that will fit the shelf. I have a fancy for books. They have been one category of "stuff" I have had a bit of a problem "letting go" of!
The other is my dolls.
I love my babies 😀
As a matter of fact I bought myself a "new to me " baby off ebay for my birthday, which was on the 16th.
I am 58, and Yes, still very much a doll fan! But I think those of you who have been with me a while at this blog know that about me.

I intend to embrace my doll hobby, as it makes me happy. And I have other things which I enjoy as well that I plan to embrace more than ever. I just want to live what life I have left here joyfully. Of course, being a Christian, my first desire is to be 100 % in the will of God. I will do my best to be so.
I may fail miserably, but God knows me!
I am so thankful for his grace and mercy which is new every morning. Thank you Lord for loving me despite all my shortcomings. I give you the glory, and desire to glorify you in all things.

So what are some of your favorite hobbies?  What makes you happy? I'll be sharing some more on that subject here soon. I have many things that bring me pleasure. I just need to begin remembering what they are, then following through with the thought.
May you have peace and joy in your life.

God bless
