Linking up with
Linking with The Simple Woman's Daybook again this week -
Since I really missed reading others' posts and linking one myself! So, here I am again this week!!
Outside My Window: The sun is shining on another beautiful day - not sure of the temp todya; but the last few days have been in the low 80's - not the high 80's like earlier in the week!
I am Thinking: Of all the things I really should be doing: laundry; dishes; vacuuming; dusting...get the picture?!
I am Thankful: For my friends who always have sweet, inspiring, encouraging words to say to me...
I am Wearing: Gray light-weight "sweat" pants, a black and gray striped night shirt, and my crocs.
I am Creating: A couple of projects: one is a patriotic door hanger to swap with a total of 10 people; the other will be a birthday "card" (or tag) to swap with close to 25 or 26 people!
I am Going: To have another busy week; babysitting, crafting; and grocery shopping - it is payday week and our freezer is getting very bare!
I am Wondering: What my cat is thinking...I keep moving her out of my way (she is laying in between the laptop and my larger monitor) - she is like the "Energizer Bunny"; every time I move her out of the way, she comes right back. At least now she is laying down!
I am Reading: I am almost finished reading Ann Voskamp's book, "One Thousand Gifts"; it has been opening my eyes to God's World, his Gifts, and the Everyday Things that ARE His Gifts! I may grab a book to take with me when I go babysit tonight; but haven't decided what my next book will be!
I am Hoping: To spend an evening with my friend this week; her birthday was the 9th and we haven't had a chance to go out to celebrate yet!
I am Looking Forward to: Attending a Piano Recital my daughter is having for her students!
I am Learning: To slow down more often and "smell the roses"; or at least look at them! You never know what else you may find while looking!
In My Kitchen: Let's just say, it needs my attention! But, half of a roast is ready to be put into the crock post for dinner!
Around the House: More attention needed...
I am Pondering: God's Word - I have been attempting to follow along with Dawn {Enthusiastically, Dawn} with her "Journal Your Journey with Jesus" challenge...I am not completing the challenge as I should; which is sad! I read two devotions, the scripture references and meditations every morning...some days I do not get it done (like before leaving for church). I should be more into my prayer time with God and learn what He wants me to be pondering!
One of My Fave Things: A flexible life-style; I should take more advantage of what I should be doing!
A Favorite Quote for Today:
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart." -Helen Keller
A Few Plans for the Rest of the Week:
Monday: Chores around the apartment until around 5:0o when I go babysit for my 3 youngest grandkids so my daughter and son-in-law can go to a movie.
Tuesday: Payday; grocery shopping; filling cars with gas...
Wednesday: Babysit again...
Thursday: Piano Recital
Friday: An open day so far!
Saturday: Plans have not been made for Saturday yet either!
Sunday: Pentecost Sunday! And, another week ended and beginning...just like that!
From the Board Room: One of my friends posted this beautiful image and quote on Facebook -
Post Script: A fave photo of yours truly - there aren't very many of them; but thought I'd share one for a P.S.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Jodi! I didn't realize the one I posted was this really silly one!! Oh, well...my friend and I had a great time that afternoon; we are due another trip - I ran out of my salted caramels!!

I've been getting behind on my bible study lately too - but we're in Leviticus, and it's just so hard to stay focused!
ReplyDeleteWonderful post... hope you have a great week! :)
Well, I started out in Titus, moved on to Philippians and started Colossians; but have also been challenged to read all of Psalm 119...so, I'll have to see where I'll be led tomorrow...
