Simple Day Three

For Today, February 1, 2010

Outside my window...the courtyard is quiet. Families are tucking their little ones in to bed.

I am thinking...that I am beginning to enjoy putting thoughts "down on paper". Even if it is virtual paper.

I am thankful for...good friends, kind words, bright smiles.

From the kitchen...well, there is silence again. But that is fine, dinner is over.

I am wearing...bet you can guess!! No really, this is my down time. I have finished my day and being comfortable has taken top priority.

I am creating... an applique for my February mini.

I am going...to visit my grandbaby tomorrow night.

I am reading...well, following, several blogs and learning more about applique, embroidery, and quilting from several wonderfully generous women.

I am hoping...to get warm. I am feeling a bit of a chill this evening.

I am hearing...the TV droning in the background.

Around the house...are lights lit up that I forgot to turn off...is there NOT a light fairy????

One of my favorite things...is cinnamon candy, preferrably Hot Tamales! :-)

Here is a picture thought I am sharing...God is so amazing!!!

Beautiful Monday

For Today, January 25, 2010

Outside my window...everything is freshly washed and thoroughly watered from last week's rain.

I am thinking...okay this is still stretching me. That's good right?

I am thankful for...my electric blanket that is keeping me warm. (seriously)

From the kitchen...there is silence.

I am wearing...sweats and a sweatshirt, nice and comfy!!

I am creating...Valentine's gifts and a February mini quilt.

I am going...to bed early tonight!

I am reading...the same books as last week.

I am hoping...for God's sweet abundance in my life.

I am hearing...television commercials and cats snoring. (the cats have the right idea)

Around the house...are little evidences of projects in various stages of being completed.

One of my favorite things...is the way the rain makes everything so much brighter and more colorful.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing...good friends come in all shapes and sizes.

A First Post - Simple

I am not one who usually journals. I am not sure why, so I am making an effort to change that in a simple way. You can find out more about the Simple Woman's DayBook on her blog.

FOR TODAY, January 18, 2010

Outside my window...I see gray skies that promise rain...The weather man says it will rain for about 5 days...I wonder if he will be right?

I am thinking...that sharing on a regular basis will stretch me and hold me a bit more accountable for the things I want to accomplish.

I am thankful for...grandbabies!!! They are truly a blessing from God.

From the kitchen...I hear dishes calling.

I am wearing...Sweats...maybe I should go change.

I am creating...many things...but on the table right now I have an embroidery project for a quilt and am knitting a scarf with bamboo/wool yarn.

I am going...to the mall later to get some exercise and see my daughter and grandson.

I am reading...A 30-Day Walk With God in the Psalms and Women of the Bible.

I am hoping...my back pain will dissipate and let me function normally.

I am hearing...sounds of industry as people work nearby.

Around the house...it is quiet...the cats are asleep.

One of my favorite things...is a really good cup of coffee (or two) in the morning.

A few plans for the rest of the week...work on completing documentation at work, create a little every day...start on my taxes (ugh).

Here is a picture thought I am sharing...Texas skies are really BIG!! I sure do miss them.
