The Simple Woman's Daybook



For today... Sunday, November 16, 2014

Outside my window...

I am thankful for... Family

I am wearing...  Black dress pants, black tank top with a fuschia cardigan

I am creating...



I am reading... "Return to Me" by Lynn Austin

I am praying for... My brother-in-law who got fired from his job of 27 years this week.

Pondering these words... "Right priorities and good time management demand an awareness that today is the only time with which we ever have to work.  The past is irretrievably gone, and the future is only a possibility."  ~Dorothy Kelley Patterson~

I am hoping... For warmer weather!

I am hearing... Inspirational music & the furnace running.

Around the house... Time to think Christmas decorating.

One of my favorite things... Family celebrations.

A few plans for the rest of the week...

      Thanks Dianna! I find that dates with hubby are just as important now as when we had kids at home!

    I loved Return to Me! I couldn't put it down. and now I understand book 2 is out!
    Looks like a wonderful menu this week. With our kitchen torn apart we are "flying by the seat of my pants" :) LOL!
    Looks cold and white where you are too! Hoping for warmer days to come yet.
