Simple Woman's Daybook - May 16, 2016






For Today
May 16, 2016

Looking Out My Window
It is 76 degrees at 11:00 am; the view from my window is a bright sunny - probably HOT - beautiful day.

I Am Thinking
About what I need to buy when we go shopping tomorrow; I think I need to make some changes in my eating habits.

I Am Thankful
For my Family; spent a wonderful Sunday afternoon together, outside, in the beautiful weather!  And, it also included some inside super hero dress-up fun, and ice cream!







One of My Favorite Things
I have to repeat...spending time with Family!  See the above FUN!

I Am Wearing
A pair of green capri pants, a yellow shirt, and crocs.

I Am Creating
Though I was tired, and a bit out-of-sorts, I spent time scrapbooking on Saturday; I finished creating a Mexican prima doll to go along with the theme of the day, Cinco de Mayo!

I think the reason for my being so out-of-sorts is because I was not feeling well and was really tired; pushed myself anyway, and ended up having a good time, as I usually do when I am crafting!




The reason for the Mexican doll comes from a challenge on a Facebook group I am in; we were to show the dolls we create participating in every day life or travel, like the "Flat Stanley" that was so popular a while back!  So I "traveled" to Mexico via the scrapbook event!

I Am Reading
I finished reading "The Yearling" by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings; and started reading "Honor Thyself" by Danielle Steel.

I Am Hoping
The rain holds off long enough for us to get our grocery shopping done tomorrow; though we need the rain, I don't really want to be out shopping in it!

I Am Learning
That I need to take better care of me...rest, eating right, exercise(?); but mostly, my attitude and enjoying this life I have.

In My Kitchen
Leftover spaghetti and biscuits - it's what's for dinner.  And the dishes are in the dishwasher.

Shared Quote
I loved reading "The Chronicles of Narnia" by C. S. Lewis - all seven books in the series.  Here is a quote from Mr. Lewis:



Closing Notes

    1. Well, Peggy, just think...as your 44 degrees become warmer, so does ours; and by the summer, I would probably prefer to be wherever you are!! But, here I am!!

      Thank you for reading, but especially for sharing this wonderful way of writing. I enjoy this linking up, and sharing of our lives!!

    1. Yes, Tara! She is also one of my faves!! I am currently trying to read through the books on my shelves that have not yet been read; then I have a number of boxes to go through and get rid of and read and whatever!!

      Appreciate your reading and commenting! Having trouble always getting to read others' blogs; but need to do better...right now have been reading profiles and listening to sermons, etc. as a part of our pastor search team...takes up a lot of time; but we want the RIGHT PERSON, the one that God is preparing to be our pastor!!
