A Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY - May 18, 2009

Outside my window...dark & quiet. I'm posting this at 11PM.

I am thinking...about how I wish that I had more hours in the day. Life is so short, & there is so much that I want to do! I'm 'never' bored with a day.

I am thankful for...that Lisa (my DIL) got a job! She & my son have had some struggling months, & it's good to see hope in their faces again.

From the learning rooms...sometimes you have to accept that "it is what it is".

From the kitchen...cleaned up & closed up for the night, after a wonderful family meal.

I am wearing...baby blue pj's.

I am creating...a healthy me, & healthy, happy children.

I am going....to enjoy sinking into bed tonight.

I am reading...a few cookbooks & my Bible study group book.

I am hoping...my friend's further tests come back good, & that her fears over her needed surgery will be removed.

I am hearing...nothing but the tapping of my keys as I type.

Around the house...so quiet from the noise & laughter that were filling it just a few hours ago. Another day is tucked away in my memory book & in the children's. It always seems a bit sad to think that another day is gone, only to be recaptured in our memories. Did I fill it with all the good & wonder that I could?

One of my favorite things...doing graphics for friends, & hopefully bringing a smile to their face.

A few plans for the rest of the week...grocery shop, increase my working out time, eat healthy, enjoy my family to the fullest.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing...this was Emily this morning. I asked her what she was doing, & she replied "I want to see what the world looks like upside down." What did it look like? "Soooo pretty!"
