FOR TODAY . . . October 28, 2014
Outside my window . . . the skies are overcast, but there is a beautiful sugar maple turning shades of orange highlighted against the gray skies.
I am thinking . . . about understanding the differences between "want to" and "need to" particularly as it applies to my lifestyle.
I am thankful . . . for a good night's rest.
In the kitchen . . . last night we had pot roast with roasted potatoes, carrots and onion, and steamed green beans. Tonight is pasta and sausage.
I am wearing . . . a cotton gown with my turquoise and red shawl.
I am creating . . . more goodies for Presents with a Purpose (November 8th -- The Well).
I am going . . . to therapy and then home for a couple of hours of creativity with my bestie.

I am wondering . . . about trust and faith in God. I don't know if I have faith about the future or if I am just naive in believing things will be fine.
I am reading . . . The Secret Rooms: A True Story of a Haunted Castle, a Plotting Duchess, and a Family Secret by Catherine Bailey
I am looking forward to . . . all the little trick-or-treaters on Friday night. Now that my kids are all grown, it's nice to just sit back and hand out candy.

I am hearing . . . the dogs puttering around the house after their breakfast and possibly my dear son rousing himself for school.
Around the house . . . order is returning. At my pace, but I am just fine with that.
I am praying . . . for peace and understanding concerning change in the future.
One of my favorite things . . . is writing this blog. I've never been very good at keeping up with a diary or journal (except during the worst of the abuse remembering). The blog gives me a journal of sorts, and I feel compelled to do it because I see it as being more for others than myself.
A few plans for the rest of the week . . . no extra activities this week! Yay! Daylight Saving Time ends on Saturday/Sunday, though.

the Hoosier
I always loved writing but wasn't very good at keeping a journal, either! I love your Hoosier!! I'm looking forward to trick or treating, too!
ReplyDeleteI love all these reflections. It slows me down to notice the things in my life right now. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteIt truly is the simple things!!!
ReplyDeleteSimplify. A good mantra!
ReplyDeleteVery lovely ☺
ReplyDeleteThis is very similar to how I write my journal, with little prompts, except I put that in an actual journal. I love some of your questions, though, and I really like that you can add a picture! (Too hard to do in a Moleskine, you know.) Thanks for some good ideas.
