• Simple Woman’s Daybook Monday 5 January 2009

  

  Outside my window……. the sun is trying to shine.  It is 35 degrees out and everything is covered in a thin layer of ice leftover from last night’s storm. 

  I am thinking……. how good it feels to be back into a normal routine.  I miss the family together and time off but routine is nice too.  Some of us were beginning to show signs of strain.

  I am thankful for…… all the prayers on my behalf.  I am healing very well.  The pain in my back is all but gone and my legs are getting better everyday.  I marvel everyday at the power that prayer and Our Lord can bring about in a life.  I will offer my holy hour on Friday for all of you and in thanksgiving for the prayers and good wishes that I have enjoyed in the last three weeks.

  From the schoolroom……. Matthew and Brett are working on their spanish.

  From the kitchen……….. leftovers for lunch and I think that I will treat the love of my life with a sumptuous meal for his coming home from work.   I think roast chicken with mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, and I think I will make him a cake for dessert.  He has taken the best care of me since my surgery and he deserves a little treat.

  I am wearing………. navy sweat pants, white tee shirt, tan sweater and slippers

  I’m creating…………peace and tranquility in my little corner of the world.

  I’m going………..nowhere I hope!!!!! I have been to Mass and I’d like to stay at home and just take it easy. (as if I haven’t been doing just that)

  I am reading………….A Chance to Die by Elisabeth Elliot

  I am hoping……….. that the big guy calls this morning to let me know that he got in safely from KS last night.  I can’t help being a mother even though he is a grown m an and can take care of himself. 

  I am hearing……… Matthew and Brett repeat their spanish along with the tape

  Around the house…….. MK has everything neat and clean with the laundry going.  What would I do without her.

  One of my favorite things………… you’ve heard it before, my family all around me.  There is nothing better than the sounds of your young adults talking and having fun and knowing that they are the blessings that God has bestowed upon your marriage.

  A few plans for the rest of the week………… I have my two classes this week and two holy hours.  MK has an appointment on Wed and she and Matthew have an appointment on Friday.  That is about all this tired body can handle.  The rest of the time I will enjoy staying at home, teaching Matthew and enjoying MK’s company.

  Here is a picture thought that I am sharing with you……………

  

  The beautiful birthday girl.  What a blessing that God bestowed upon her father and I 19 years ago.  Little did we know what kind of giving, loving young woman that she would become.  We love you Mary-Katherine Suzanne.  You are truly a gift from God.
