Simple Woman's Daybook - August 10, 2015

Linking up with

The Simple Woman's Daybook

Another week is here - and, it is Monday again!  In fact, it is already the second Monday of August!  Back to school; the end of summer - but not of the HOT weather!

And I am linking up with Peggy and the other bloggers for "The Simple Woman's Daybook", a great way to write from prompts - but more important, a great way to connect with other bloggers!

So, here goes...

For Today:

August 10, 2015

Outside My Window:  It is 93 degrees outside - and the humidity makes it even more - on this HOT summer afternoon...I let the morning get away from me...

I am Hearing:  "Love it or List it" on HGTV!

I am Thinking:  Of way too many things...

I am Thankful:  For a wonderful weekend, which included a beautiful wedding on Sunday afternoon!

I am Praying for:  My friend who had knee replacement surgery this morning; another friend who recently had hip replacement surgery, and is doing great!  And, for the "new couple" from the above wedding!

I am Wearing:  {Believe it or not at 3:00 pm}, I am still wearing my pj's!!  A yellow night-gown with pink, yellow, blue and red flowers and a pair of light blue pants.

I am Creating:  The beginning of a "project"; right now putting together a puzzle that will eventually be incorporated into a display piece - either framed or put onto a tray or someting.

Starting the outer frame;

the previous "owner" had all

outside pieces in a plastic baggie!

What the finished puzzle

will look like!

My friend loves buttons and I am always trying to find something different; this puzzle was a thrift store find and will work out perfectly!

I am Going:  To my husband's alumni breakfast in the morning; but for today, it is National Lazy Day!!

Love Sandra Boynton's work!!

I am Wondering:  If I will be able to come up with a "Write31Days" topic that I'll be able to complete...???

I am Reading:  There are only two more short stories left to read in "Chicken Soup for the Writers' Soul"!  After our short vacation (or maybe during!), I'll choose something else to read!

I am Excited That:  We are going on a short vacation in just over a week!

Atlanta here we come!!

I am Learning to:  Take the time to enjoy my life now because one of these days...

I may not be able to enjoy it as I do now!

In My Kitchen:  My husband just went to the store and bought some instant pudding; he is wanting some for later today...

Around the House:  A real need for some cleaning; anyone wanna help me out here???

Just kiddin'!  That's what's on the agenda for the days between now and vacation!

I am Pondering:  A subject for "Write31Days" this October!


A Favorite Quote for Today:  "After many years in publishing - a writer at Business Week, Time and CBS, assistant managing editor at Reader's Digest - I've come away with one single golden rule of writing.  This is simply that there's a writer in every one of us, because there's a story in every one of us."  {Philip Barry Osborne in "Lesson of a Lifetime" written for "Chicken Soup for the Writer's Soul".}

A Fave Scripture Thought:  "Wait for the Lord; be courageous and let your heart be strong.  Wait for the Lord."  (Psalm 27:14 - HCSB)

From my morning devotion in the Psalms; I wrote the following in my journal:  "God's timing!  The devotion message was 'His own time-table, not ours...'

And, I continued: "God is our creator, and He knows, not only what is best for us; but also, when the time is right!"


So, I'll end today's Simple Woman's Daybook with a cute photo taken the other day at the park:

I know I left off the best part; but was actually trying to capture the cute little flip flops she is wearing!!  Adorable, if I do say so myself!


Thanks for joining me for this week's Simple Woman's Daybook!!
