The Simple Womans Daybook 20 June 2011
Outside my window…the sun is shining brightly and it is a lovely 63 degrees out there. The forecast is for clear skys and a light breeze. A nice day for the hay and laundry to get dry and to serve my family supper out at the picnic table.
I am thinking…about the pleasures that can be taken in very simple activity. A bike ride with those you love, sitting beside a spouse while the two of you read, fixing a favorite meal for one that is loved all of these activities may seem mundane but if they are done with true and genuine love they become the stuff of great and epic memory and importance in the lives of those who experience them.
I am thankful for….the man who works and loves beside me each and every day.
From the schoolroom…last week of this semester.
From the kitchen…leftovers from the sumptuous repast that was served in honor of father’s day yesterday.
I am wearing….shorts and a tee shirt.
I am creating…memories meant to provide comfort and joy for the future.
I am going…to stay home all the rest of the day.
I am reading…Where There is Love There is God by Mother Teresa
I am hoping…to get a lot of writing done today.
I am hearing….the birds singing outside my window.
Around the house….it is far too quiet. With Melissa and Layn gone to North Carolina this house is too quiet. I miss that little huricane.
One of my favorite things…the knowing look in my husband’s eyes when he smiles at me.
A few plans for the rest of the week….try to get all the writing I can done as early as possible.
Here is a picture thought that I am sharing with you….
