Simple Woman's Daybook - May 9, 2016

For Today

May 2, 2016

Last week I wrote my post before reading Peggy's blog...making a few tweaks to the prompts.  Still using her prompts, I had switched several around and omitted a few that didn't relate, and also added some that I had read on others' posts!

Since I had already written my post, I went ahead and posted what I had written.  This week, I am tweaking my own post and using those Peggy shared.  Hope you enjoy!

Looking Out my Window

A beautiful sunny warm day;

temps at 9:00 am were 62 degrees;

high in the upper 80's!

I am staying inside today!

I Am Thinking

About the "mothers" in my life:

Mothers of my friends;

Sunday School teachers;

Friends, not much older than I,

but to whom I looked up;

And of course,

my own mother and grandmother.

I Am Thankful

For my mother and grandmother.

Since I never new my mom's mother,

it is my dad's mother that I recall.

But, that is not to say

I am not thankful

for my mom's mother, too!

I am also thankful for my daughters, who are also great mothers!

One of My Favorite Things

Simply,

spending time

with my family and friends!

I Am Wearing

Khaki capris,

pink shirt,

and crocs.

I Am Creating

Prima Doll Stamps

to make tags, cards,

or scrapbook layouts.

Here are a few I've completed:

I Am Reading

"The Yearling"

by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings;

a classic written in 1938,

which ticks off one of the

categories on my reading list,

'a book written before I was born.'

I Am Hoping

To get more organizing done

in my Craft Room;

and gathering things

for another yard sale.

I Am Learning

More about Alzheimer's Disease;

once I have what I need,

I hope to write more about

our journey with

Dementia's Demands - 

with Alzheimer's Disease.

In My Kitchen

Dishes in the dishwasher;

Counters wiped;

Leftovers in the 'fridge...

Post Script

In Honor of Mothers' Day,

and in Memory of

my Mother and Grandmother

(her mother),

I am sharing this post written for

Random Journal Day,

March, 2015:

A Mother's Legacy

Shared Quote

A fellow blogger,

and friend,

Karen Deschenes Courcy

posted this quote:

"No matter how wide

you stretch your fingers,

your hands will be too small

to catch all the pain you want to heal."

{found on her Facebook page at

Karen;

no author was noted)

Closing Notes

I always enjoy writing my posts

from Peggy's prompts!

I'm attempting to make them

look a bit more appealing,

and perhaps not quite

so long!

{I do tend to get quite wordy!!}

So, this is my post for the week, linking up with Peggy.  Be sure to check out the posts at Peggy.
