• The Simple Womans Daybook 11 January 2010

  

  Outside my window……the sun is shining and it is cold out, 21 degrees to be exact.  But there is no snow falling from the sky for a change.  A lovely day to enjoy winter from the inside and that is exactly what I plan on doing.

  I am thinking…….about the concept of contentment and how we change over time.   The way that God changes us and builds us and prepares us for the happenings that he has in store and we don’t even know that it is going on.  Ten years ago, even five, I would not have accepted with the same tranquility the events of the past weekend.  But God has molded and formed me for just these moments.

  I am thankful for……a loving, generous, and open family.  Loving in their acceptance of another soul who is in distress and needs love without condition.  Generous in their ability to give of themselves and their home without question.  Their openness in their ability to take another into the family so completely.

  I am wearing……jeans, pink tee shirt, black fleece.  It’s a comfy at home day.

  I am going…..to spend the day in the pursuit of academic excellence (sounds grand doesn’t it)

  I am reading…….my Hacker Style Manuel.  Not exactly something that I can’t put down but rather something that I musn’t put down.

  I am hoping……that my current downward trend (size wise) continues.

  From the kitchen……..leftovers from Sunday dinner.  It’s a housework, schoolwork, laundry day.  No time for cooking today.

  Around the house…….Mr. Wonderful has cleaned everything, MK has the laundry well in hand, Matthew is working on his studies, Ian is sleeping, and Melissa is sitting with MK having her first knitting lesson.  All is right with my world.

  One of my favorite things……..my family.

  I have no picture thought to share with you.  Been too busy to take any pictures.  We had a young lady move in with us over the weekend.  If anyone is a praying person we would appreciate prayers for her.  She is pregnant out of wedlock and has had a difficult time with a non-supportive family.  We have decided to be her family and take care of her during her pregnancy.
