Wars are fought by scared men who rather be somewhere else. John Wayne
Not all of us face combat duty but all of us face situations that are scary and difficult.

inToday it is time to deep clean a spot in the kitchen that is bothering you. For me it is time to work in the pantry to make room for more beverages and fewer canned goods.

Today’s Quote: Nothing can stop the man with right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude. – Thomas Jefferson
Today’s Focus: Light switches and remotes. Time to go after those shared surfaces again! Wipe down light switches, remotes, telephones, and the microwave panel. Let’s keep ourselves and our guests healthy from those hidden germ spots. We all know about regular hand washing but it is easy to forget how many hands touch light switches, remotes, and the microwave. For bonus points also wipe down your desk at work!
Today’s KTime: Since today is National Cherry Cobbler Day let us enjoy!

Today’s Quote: Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. – Martin Luther King
Today’s Focus: Surface clean the kitchen. Today is fairly light. Pick up and put away the stray items on our kitchen counters. The mail, the trash that never quite got in the can, the papers that need to be somewhere else, the spices from the cooking all need to find their homes. Less clutter makes a place look better.
Today’s KTime: I think tonight this chicken and pasta dish sounds good plus some fruit – maybe some strawberries on the side.

Today’s Quote: Happy Mother’s Day!
Today’s Focus: General Pick up and Put Away. Today we are to spend a few minutes picking up and putting away stray items from the shared rooms. It is amazing the difference it makes when the mail isn’t overtaking the coffee table, when the movies are put away, and there is a place to sit down. If your public areas are disappearing under the piles it is hard to invite people over and that leads to isolation. So let’s make our nests comfortable for ourselves and to share with those we choose.
KTime today: Let’s make this snack to be enjoyed with a cold drink and a special video. If we are no longer surrounded by family on holidays it can be hard so we need a little extra attention those days. So finish up your chores, fix a snack and curl up with a good movie. Maybe even invite a friend over that is also in need of extra attention today. Then you both benefit.

Today’s Focus: Today it is time shine the glass in our nest. Let’s make our windows clean and ready to let the sunlight in. We are done with the cold of winter and it is time for our heart and soul to search for the light.
KTime: I am in the need of comfort food today so this was looking good to me.

Today’s Quote: In a gentle way, you can shake the world. – Mohandas Gandhi
Today’s Focus: Kitchen Counters. Today it is time to clean our kitchen counters. Remove anything not related to your daily routine and wipe your counters down. I love those pictures of kitchens that show lots of appliances, flowers and fruit bowls on display but my tiny kitchen works better with clear counters. I found it much more peaceful to have room to prep and serve food than the beautiful still pictures.
In honor of the Kentucky Derby though I think I will put a single rose on the kitchen table to grace my dinner. And ladies go buy your own flowers. Don’t wait on the guys to add beauty and grace to your life. Guys if you have a lady friend bring/send her a rose today just because or if you are solo add something to your table that you like and no we are not talking about your laptop or smart phone.
KTime: This afternoon let us enjoy a proper mint julep

Today’s Focus: General Pick up and Put Away. Today we are to spend a few minutes picking up and putting away stray items from the shared rooms. It is amazing the difference it makes when the mail isn’t overtaking the coffee table, when the movies are put away, and there is a place to sit down. If a friend dropped by would you want to them see the week’s trail of activities or would you like to offer them a comfy chair, a good drink and something to nibble on? If you would do it for a friend then do it for yourself. That is whole crux of KTime. Taking good care of yourself by taking care of your nest.
KTime: For our something yummy to eat let’s think about desserts today.

Today’s Quote: Success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get. – Dale Carnegie
Today’s Focus: Scrub bathrooms. Time to scrub the powder room, empty the trash, shine the mirrors, put out fresh towels, mop the floor and check on paper product supplies. Then maybe add a special touch even in this room. A scented candle maybe or a beautiful bar of soap and a fresh guest towel. Then when you get ready tomorrow you will be pampering yourself first thing and I don’t know a better way to start the day. A clean bathroom, clothes all selected and ready to go, coffee pot programmed and lunch packed the night before makes for a wonderful start to a work day.
KTime: For supper tonight I think I will have a grilled chicken breast, green beans, and biscuits with this wonderful honey strawberry butter.
