I am wearing... Black sweats and a deep pink shirt with an embroidered floral design along the neckline

I am creating... A Christmas gift list

I am reading... "The Skin Map" by Stephen R. Lawhead

I am praying for... Good weather as we travel on the weekend.

Pondering these words... "It is Christmas every time you let God love others through you...." ~Mother Teresa~

I am hoping... The flu shot doesn't set me back.

I am hearing... The air purifier.

Around the house... It finally looks like Christmas.

One of my favorite things... Sunshine and birds singing.

  2. Okay, Alana, I'll be over Wednesday for dinner...or maybe I'll just wait until Saturday and come for the smorg. :) Looks as if you have quite a bit of snow now. We are to have some tonight through Wednesday afternoon. I guess it is that time of the year. :)

    Have a blessed week, Alana!

  3. I enjoyed your post! As a new reader it's fun to learn more about you! I love that you plan out your meals. That's something I just started doing and it makes such a difference. We save money because we don't eat out as much.
