The Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY- May 25th

Outside my window... beautiful sunny day, blue skies and not a hint of rain for the day.

I am thinking... I should be outside working instead of writing, but oh well...

I am thankful for... so many things, but right now am especially thankful for the love of a wonderful guy!

From the kitchen... if I can afford it, want to try a new recipe for Caesar dip that I found recently... looks SO good!

I am wearing... my jammies, but not for long-- will soon change to my jeans and red tank top- finally warm enough for those

I am creating... (hoping to create) haven't done any painting in a while, may try to get out the paints this afternoon in the garden and see where God leads me.

I am going... not far this week-- likely to David's for a bit tomorrow, but other than that will enjoy hanging at home

I am reading... (again) The Healing Reawakening by Francis MacNutt

I am hoping... and praying for absolute healing for a man in Sweden named Ulf, who suffers from Dystonia, as Fr Nigel and his sister Julie head there to pray with him tomorrow morning (5am- 7am EST... 10am- noon, in Sweden)-- will be on my knees joining them in prayer during that time.

I am hearing... the sound of the fan humming, and the purring of a sweet kitty in my lap

Around the house... so much to do... UGH... more yard work (it's endless) and trying to rearrange the furniture in my bedroom and living room to make it more "summer friendly"

One of my favorite things... a quite day at home-- much to do, but the holiday seems to bring on a quieter pace in the world around

A few plans for the rest of the week: finishing up the plans for the meal my friends and I are doing for Ronald McDonald house in a couple weeks- what a blessing to be able to do this... , continuing to look for a job (please God?!), planting more seeds in the garden (jalapeno pepper- so I can make salsa, and spaghetti squash- one of my favorite's!), and of course spending time with my wonderful and loving God.

Here is picture thought I am sharing...

"A Mother's Love"... this is a painting that I did in memory of my wonderful Mom... I miss her so much!!
