For Today:

June 8, 2015

Outside My Window
The sun is shining; no breeze...
probably already in the 80's
for this Florida summer!

I am Thinking
I am sooooo tired
of this cough and congestion!
PLEASE GO AWAY!!!


I am Thankful
That I don't feel as bad
as I did a few days ago...


I am Wearing
A purple night shirt
with a fairy on the front;
a pair of light blue
stretch pants...
most of my clothes
are dirty from vacation!


I am Creating
Nothing at the moment...
Well, I have been creating
MEMORIES
while on vacation!


I am Going
To the Doctor tomorrow
and hope to begin feeling better
SOON!!


I am Wondering
Why do I always get sick?
Why am I back from vacation
and sound so irritable and frustrated
to my hubby who stayed home
with the cat?


I am Reading
Haven't been doing much reading;
on vacation we were constantly 
on the go,  having fun!!


I am Hoping
That I feel better SOON!
{That is the "theme" of
this week's post!}


I am Looking Forward to
Seeing my other grandchildren
this week...
today, for sure!


I am Learning to
Be patient?!
{Not very well;
at least not this morning}


In My Kitchen
Dirty dishes;
breakfast awaits...
once I fix it!


Around the House
My stuff is scattered
everywhere!
Need to unpack,
do laundry,
put things away...
oh, my!
Welcome Home!


I am Pondering
God's word
about
REST
for the
WEARY!


A Favorite Quote for Today



One of my Fave Things
Spending time with my

A Peek into one of My Days
We spent last Saturday,
ALL DAY,
at LegoLand
in
Orlando, Florida


From the Board Room
This was shared on Facebook
by a friend of mine, Karl:

"We do not know how long we've got here. We don't know when fate will intervene. We cannot discern God's plan. What we do know is that with every minute that we've got, we can live our lives in a way that takes nothing for granted. We can love deeply. We can help people who need help. We can teach our children what matters. We can pass on empathy and compassion and selflessness. We can teach them to have broad shoulders."

Wise words, eh?

This is a portion of the eulogy spoken at Beau Biden's funeral.  Biden, 46, a veteran of the Iraq war and public servant, was eulogized by President Obama.  No matter what your political leanings are, these truly are words that all of us, men and women, can put into practice with those we interact with.

So, another Monday has come; another Simple Woman's Daybook has been posted...

Hope everyone has a blessed week!
