• The Simple Womans Daybook 25 January 2010

   

  Outside my window……it is grey and rainy and the wind is blowing.  Now my favorite kind of weather unless I have no reason for going outside.  Today is Monday and I, therefore, have no reason for going outside. 

  I am thinking……..about my son who is stationed at Ft. Bragg.  He has been very much in my thoughts of late. 

  I am thankful for……..oh so many things.  For my family first and foremost.  For the good friends that we spent the day with yesterday.  For laughter which cleanses the heart and lifts the mind.

  I am wearing……..jammies.  Over slept today and really don’t plan on hurrying today. 

  I am going…….to do launndry, to do housework, to work on my papers for English and online learning, do my math, work out, enjoy my family, not leave this house.  That is what I am going to do.

  I am reading……..Mindfulness by Ellen J. Langer

  From the kitchen…….there is a turkey in the oven with endless possibilities when it is cooked.

  Around the house…….don’t look and I won’t tell.  But, by the end of the day it will be neat and clean all over again.

  From the schoolroom…….Matthew and I will be studying and learning and generally filling our minds with all kinds of great stuff.

  One of my favorite things…….the warmth and silence of my home when it is waking from a good nights sleep.  The love of family and friends expressed in many different ways.

  A few plans for the rest of the week…….I think that I would like to do some sewing this week in between classes and work on the baby afghan that I am making for Melissa’s baby.

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

  

  Ian boxing with the Wii.  I think that he has decided that it isn’t for him.  But it was sure funny to watch him try it out.

  

  Our friend Dan skiing with the Wii.  A video of this would be more fun to watch.  I think that he hit every gate on the way down the slope.  As long as he had fun that is all that matters.  We sure had fun watching him.
