A week has transpired since I last spoke to you on video. The video is not very long this time; only 26 minutes, but I hope you can still do something with that time to help your home function well.
We are having stormy weather, and I tried to relate the importance of using those dark days of inclement weather for something good.
Today I broadcast from this truck, which I created into a vacation retreat. We are so busy, I don't see any chance of getting away very soon, so I made myself a little resort here. Some friends came over and had lunch with me there! It took me several days to clean the truck and get it set up. I put everything in from the sides, as the furniture is all lightweight and waterproof.
It is a perfect getaway for rest and relaxation because there are no distractions.
Below is a picture of the weather-proof settee and weather resistant cushions where I was located while I was speaking to you.
I very much value your comments so please be generous and leave a lot of them!

Very nice truck idea.
thank you for this video. I listened to it while I ate my lunch and inspired me to keep working on all the things I have to accomplish. I was getting a little overwhelmed and this was what i needed to hear. Just like having a chat with a friend. Thank you . Ann
Glad you all are able to get some things accomplished!
Creative and lovely! : ) Interesting and enjoyable!
I love your "truck oasis". What a cute idea!
Thanks you all! Im thinking of some new quotes for that chalkboard when I move it to another location around here. There are some other locations that might work and be easier to get into without steps!
Sometimes, I'm surprised by the resourcefulness of others. This "vacation retreat" is perfect.
I'd love to spend time on it, basking in the sun, reading of listening to one of your videos!
I enjoyed this video ...so much wisdom. I love that you brought out that the common mindset is that we have to be motivated to get started doing something. Not true. Just show up and you will be energized. What did I do? I got supper on the stove....fried corn and fresh green beans. I'll serve them with ham and garden tomatoes. Love, Amy Laurie
Wow - that truck vacation spot is wonderful...how creative and luxurious.
I scrubbed the kitchen floor while I listened to you. It looks so nice now. I get migraines in the spring/summer/fall and find it hard to be motivated, your videos cheer me up, take my mind off it and get me accomplishing things (like women of times past)!
What you did with that old truck is so neat! It looks lovely. You are amazingly creative, Lydia. I listened to this talk today while I was working on compiling a list of all of our family's Internet usernames and passwords. I've barely gotten started - it's a big job!
From a viewer:
"“I’m wearing dark plum frost...I don’t know...maybe it will just make you happy.”
Lydia, you DO make me happy! You made me laugh out loud the way you said that. I totally get what you mean about little rewards as we go along in our housework. I really agree that we do something and then we feel like doing it/good about it AFTER we get going. We can’t wait around until we feel like doing our work. You make many excellent points. Please keep talking to me!
Thanks for keeping me company.
I hung up damp laundry to dry and started a load of laundry. Next up: the schoolroom. So much organizing to do. "

Melissa, people always ask why you do things, say things, live the way you do. There are a variety of answers: Because I like it.
Life is Short
It makes me happy.
I'm doing it for you.
I'm trying to Make my country nice.
I thought maybe you'd get a kick out of it
Your truck is just too adorable! I love your creativity in thinking of it, and your perseverance in setting it up!
I live in what we call generator country so I usually don't have powerin the day time. Today for various reasons we had the power on and I listened to this vlog as I was cutting up a big salad, preparing potatoes and doing dishes. What fun and what a blessing! I loved it and thank you!
I love your truck retreat. Very creative.
Great idea and thanks for reminding me to talk about my enjoyment days.
Thank you so much for these videos, and your blog! God is using you in my life so much! Today I have already folded a load of towels, unloaded and loaded the dishwasher, and cleaned out our pantry. I am going to start making bread next! Also, I am started my journey with sewing and I have a pattern for a dress and you have inspired me to start working on it! Thank you so much ma'am again! I hope all is well, God bless 💕
