I've made it my goal to replace negative thoughts of people with a singular good thought. I'm taking baby steps, that's why it's singular. You know, when people disappoint me or hurt me, I can very easily create a list of all the reasons I don't like them. My goal is anytime that list starts to play, I stop it with one singular good thought about them. Sometimes, it's hard to come up with, but now that I've got one, I'm going to stick with it for awhile. Hopefully, it will help put the list to rest. Added benefit is that if I'm tempted to say something negative about someone, I have a positive thing to say instead. Though I'm afraid that it may come out and appear random. So if you notice me saying something peculiar in the midst of conversation, help me out with some other good thoughts about people.

Things that I didn't know could make a difference in the baking of bread. Lots has happened since that first memorable baking. Today, I invited a friend over to make bread. I was kind of concerned about the strength of the yeast, because we bought a huge stash of it last year someti
