Simple Woman's Daybook



Outside my window...
Silent night 
I am thinking...
about friends who are dealing with life.
I am thankful...

for a long weekend to decompress and recompose.

I am wearing...
Jeans and a tshirt- housecleaning clothes
I am hearing...

"In the Still of the Night" - Oldies music on my turntable
Mr. Biggs snoring
Stanley panting after our epic game of fetch
I am creating...

a playlist of my happy songs
I am going...
to get out of the house tomorrow!
I'm getting cabin fever - I've been home since Wednesday
because Esther was sick and then my projects piled up.

I am wondering...

If I should take a plane to San Antonio in February
for the Texas Music Educator Conference instead of driving.
Big brave is required either way. 
I am reading...
Daily Bible reading on my She Reads Truth app
A Year With C.S. Lewis
I am hoping...
For better days 
I am praying...
for wisdom for me and for those I love.
I am learning...

To trust God's timing

In my garden...
my sweet neighbor trimmed back my lantana-
it's so ugly and pokey in the winter and I hadn't gotten to it yet,
 so he took care of it unnoticed. ❤️


In my kitchen...
Pineapple Pulled Pork with French-style green beans
(I am trying to reclaim my territory) 
A Favorite Verse for today....

 

A favorite quote for today...

 

A peek into one of my days...


Dad came all the way across the street and up my front porch with his walker this evening.
This is the first time he has been to my house since his stroke a month ago.
He came to show Jadan how to fix my broken showerhead.
 
One of my favorite things...

              This necklace my cousin Betti Jo gave me on the day
I signed my final divorce papers last Friday.
It reads, "ELLE EST FORTE" which is "She is strong" in French,
 and has Proverbs 31:25:
"She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future."
             
From the board room...
   
 
How fun with this be to wear?!
Potter would not be my pick, but its a neat idea.
