For Today
September 5, 2016
Looking Out My Window
I'm writing late today since I decided to take today (and tomorrow!) for crafting days at home!!
The weather has actually cooled down a bit; instead of the high 90's, we have the mid 80's...and that's quite alright with me!!!
It's a little breezy and sunny and just plain beautiful; but I've been inside all day...that was my plan and that's what I am doing!
I am Thinking
About my "calling"; I think I am supposed to be learning something from all this ugliness I get from my husband - the one I "care for" in his dementia and hearing issues.
God has me in this place at this time for a reason...if I'm not learning a lesson, perhaps I'm teaching one?
Not sure... and that's what I'm thinking today!
I am Thankful
For my Family, and the times we are able to get together; and those times we try to be together, but are not able to because of circumstances beyond our control...
Like Hurricane Hermine!
Although my daughter and I did not get to attend my granddaughter's wedding, we were able to watch a (not-so-good) live video of the ceremony; and several people have posted photos on Facebook.
Isn't technology great?!

One of My Favorite Things
Well, after that last prompt - I am thankful for...
A fave would be connecting with family - and friends - via the computer! That's where we all seem to be; and from there can share our photos of the good times we have together...
Whether we are physically together or not!
I am Wearing
A pair of gray shorts, a blue, white and gray shirt, and my black bedroom slippers.

I am Crafting
I decided today would be a craft day! I stamped several dolls and clothes to make a few Halloween tags using the new "Cat Girl" doll I purchased the other day. So far, the dolls are done; now to get the tags made! {And photos will have to come later because they are not "complete"...
I am Reading
"Someday" by Karen Kingsbury; the 3rd book in the "Sunrise" series...continuing the story of the Baxter Family; a very inspirational series!
I am Learning
That I am not really learning the lesson; I have not been able to accept how life is at this point...
Every day is different; it's hard to know how to "be"...how to act/react to things he says and does.
I have been spending more time at home and can still do things I love doing - crafting, reading, writing/blogging - but need to work on things we can do together.
I am learning...perhaps one day I'll know!
In My Kitchen
Dirty dishes in the dishwasher; two loads of towels already washed, dried and put away...
And leftovers in the fridge for dinner! And, it is time to go fix something to go with those leftovers!
Shared Quote
I just pray I can remember this and trust that God knows what He is doing in my life!
A Moment From My Day
In the evening, when we sit together and watch "our shows"; I think these are the closest we seem to get to doing something together!
Closing Notes
Well, another week's post for Simple Woman's Daybook...
Hope everyone has enjoyed their "extra" day off from work and the "normal" routine of life! Join me again next week for another look into my "daybook"...
Have a blessed week!

ReplyDeleteJust as the new season begins beauty, Good is beinging beauty in this season of your life!
ReplyDeleteI love the fall. The cooler weather. The fall colors, though I live far too south to taken in the true beauty. (I grew up in the north and miss that part of it.
Have a beautiful weekend
Yes, when my daughter went away from Florida to attend college near Chicago...she was more excited about the fact of "different seasons" rather than HOT and sometimes a bit cooler weather!
DeleteGod brings the seasons to us physically as well as spiritually; and praying that continues in this "season" of my life!! New things; new changes; new beginnings...whatever!!

Sad that you weren't able to be at your granddaughters wedding. But glad you got to be there through technology,
ReplyDeleteYes, Tara, it was sad; it took me several days of the following week to get over the disappointment. But, it was for the best in many ways that weren't really shared!
