FOR TODAY . . . August 10, 2015
Outside my window . . . it's overcast and already muggy.We are expecting thundershowers today, so I'm glad I get to stay inside.
I am thinking . . . about several people I know who are struggling with medical issues right now. Praying for a positive outcome for each and everyone of them.
I am thankful . . . to be on the downhill side of the latest round of steroids. Sometimes I think the cure is as bad as the flare when it comes to summer asthma issues!
In the kitchen . . . last ds and his gf made spaghetti and cheesy garlic bread. They finished up with an apple dump cake which is now sitting on my counter calling to me :)
I am creating . . . peace in my spirit (I hope). This has been a stressful summer (as summers often are) and I am still working on honoring what lowers my stress. And a prayer shawl of course.
I am going . . . to work on blog planning later today. I want to do 2 daily writing memes this fall. In September I am going to attempt the 50 day blogger challenge with A Pinch of Faith which will overlap with 31 Days a writing challenge, every October, every day with Nesting Place and Crystal Stine.
I am wondering . . . about how much the medication I am on is adding to my stress. I hope MOST of it is drug induced.

I am hearing . . . G'morning Johann
I bought this cd when my kids were small. We used to listen to it in the mornings to help us start the day off right. I've recently begun to incorporate more music into my daily life and went with this old favorite today.
Around the house . . . just the basics today and keeping it simple and slow as I'm still in recovery mode.
I am praying . . . for dd as she is quitting smoking!
One of my favorite things . . . is my new prayer practice. I find it very soothing and comforting. Much like a conversation with a dear friend. I realize that setting aside time to talk with and listen to God is so important. I am glad I am learning this new practice.
A few plans for the rest of the week . . . keeping is simple and hoping that the asthma continues to improve.

Thanks for sharing your Simple woman's daybook! I've also published mine but didn't see the link-up...will check again!! I am "contemplating" the write31days in Oct. I did it last year; but had journaling and research and poetry already written that I used! Not sure what theme/topic I could use this year?! Pondering...
ReplyDeleteYour Simple Woman's Daybook is quite interesting. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI know I say it every time but I honestly do love these posts! I keep hearing about A Year by the Sea... I may have to make a trip to the library soon! I was praying this morning about 31Days and what He would have me write about this year. I'm still not sure... but it's about time to figure it out! ;)
ReplyDeleteReally nice post, thanks so much for sharing part of your life with us :)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a fabulous week!
