Jan 23 ~ Simple Woman's Daybook

On this, Monday January 23, 2012...

Outside my window the snow is almost melted from the unseasonable 43F temperature and the spring-like rain

I am thinking how talented, creative and inspired some people are, like my friend, Tania, who enhanced the Daybook with some fresh, new ideas and allowed me to copy follow in her lead.

I am thankful for my friends, online and offline who love me, inspire me, amuse me and challenge me

In the kitchen that little spot between the counter and the stove got a good cleaning this morning, especially after I dropped a hunk of apple down there and needed to scoop it out before it rotted.

I am wearing blue sweatpants, white long-sleeved tee, green zip-up sweat-shirt and slippers

I am creating this week's lesson review for Abide

I am going to get on the treadmill sometime today.  When?  Not sure yet but I MUST!

Music in my heart for today is Blessed Be Your Name which is part of our study lesson this week:

I am wondering what to write for this section... I don't think I'm wondering too much at the moment


I am praying for God's direction in Hubby's career choices


Fav blog post this week would have to be Tania's where she gave these new fresh Daybook ideas!!


I am hoping to lose the 5 lbs I've gained since November and getting back into a regular exercise schedule again.  I somehow lost my exercise mojo between here and Bahamas!


I am looking forward to Hubby's safe return from his trip to CA


I am learning to bow my will to God which some days is harder than others


My favorite  find this week is this amazing porch fireplace.  Too bad I don't have a porch but oh how I could imagine sitting out there on a cool Spring or Fall evening!

Around the house it is quiet and I'm enjoying it!


I am pondering when to make a delicious "wacky pasta salad" for dinner - super early like a "lupper", or have something light and eat at regular time.


A favorite quote for today comes from Scripture:

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.  James 1:5

One of my favorite things is snuggling up on a rainy day with a good book, which I'll maybe do after I finish blogging and my chapter review for Abide!

A few plans for the week:

• prep for Abide
• houseclean
• Abide
• maybe get hair cut
• go to movies w/ girlfriends for "cheapy Tuesday"

A peek into my life

Working on details to visit here this Winter!

That's this simple woman's Daybook.  Hope you have a simply wonderful day!
