Simple Woman's Daybook - June 1, 2015

Linking up with

The Simple Woman's Daybook

Linking up with Peggy for "The Simple Woman's Daybook" this week after she (and everyone else!) took a break!  So, here we go again, though a bit later in the day: 

For Today:

June 1, 2015

Outside My Window

The clouds are gray,
we had a few showers;
but that is typical
for summer
in Florida!

I am Thinking
I have a lot to do
to be ready to leave for vacation
on Thursday!
{but I am tired}

I am Thankful
For my grandchildren
and being able to spend time with them.

I am Wearing
Purple/violet capri pants,
a white shirt with a "blingy" butterfly,
my crocs.

I am Creating
Just mailed out my last project:

a Prima Doll
Patriotic Door Hanger.

Next project is
a Prima Doll
Birthday Card
{using the same girl
shown above}

I am Going
to relax the rest of the day;
it's been a busy one!

I am Wondering
Why I continuously
trust a box of hair color!
Cover my gray?
Oh, yes, it did!
But...
I did not want
very dark brown;
almost black!
Oh, well...
maybe next time I'll
do something different -
like let a professional do it!!

I am Reading
Just a few more pages to read
of Sandra Brown's
"Deadline";
then I'll start something else...
but not sure what yet!

I am Hoping
it is not too hot
in Orlando, FL
this weekend;
going Thursday thru Sunday
to LegoLand,
a water park;
and no telling where else!
{but not Disney World, or Sea World,
or Universal Studios
until it is cooler!!}

I am Looking Forward to
a vacation with my 
daughter, son-in-law
and two grandsons
{see above!}

I am Learning to
Be still...
and listen for God's voice
amidst all the noise
of the world around me!

In My Kitchen
Leftovers;
salad,
chicken,
mac 'n cheese,
not sure what else.
It's what's for dinner!


A Favorite Quote for Today
from Ann Voskamp in
"One Thousand Gifts"

"Well, hello June!
'Whatever you do,
do everything...
*giving thanks*."
{Colossians 3:17}

"God's will is for us to give thanks
*in all things*...
because this is how God knows
we can live through *anything*...

"All research proves
that if you daily count gifts
you will be *25%* happier...
who doesn't want to be
25% happier!?"

That's all for today!  Think I'll skip a few of these so I can get this published - it's after 5 pm and my brain is very tired!

See you all next week!!
