For Today December 4, 2012
Outside my window... it's dark outside, no moon but lots of twinkling christmas lights.
I am thinking... what a difference a day makes. Yesterday I had no energy and today I've been buzzing around the house like a busy bee.
I am thankful... for glass windows! I've just finished reading a few books that talked about animal skin as window coverings. How dark every shelter must have been!
I am wearing... red Coca Cola t-shirt over a long sleeve white crewneck, black athletic pants and pink balega socks.
I am creating... red, orange, brown and cream felted wool acorns.
I am going... to look for a snowman cookie jar to add some whimsy in the kitchen this winter.
I am wondering... what little delight I can give as gifts this year?
I am reading... blogs. Catching up on some of my favorites that I've been neglecting the past few weeks.
I am hoping... to find a lotion that will moisturize my dry skin. The only thing that seems to work is organic coconut oil, but my husband doesn't care for the smell.
I am looking forward to... getting Christmas presents wrapped and under the tree before December 24!
I am learning... that I'm used to running the house a certain way and don't adapt well to change. Therefore, I'm also learning to adapt.
Around the house... bits and pieces of projects past, present and future.
I am pondering... if you don't put an expiration date on your prayers, at what point do you move forward and change the idea of your prayer? Or do you?
A favorite quote for today... "Our actions are a direct result of our thoughts." ~ Joyce Meyer
One of my favorite things... learning from older siblings!
A few plans for the rest of the week: make a grocery list, cross off items on my 'to do' list, wrap a few presents and visit with friends!
A peek into my day... decorating for Christmas!

I haven't thought to be thankful for glass windows, but yes, I definitely am! I have very minimal window coverings because I love to be able to see outside all day.
ReplyDeleteI've been reading blogs this morning, too. I have discovered that they can often replace reading real books for me though and I don't necessarily want that to happen; I have to work to stay in balance with both.
Expiration dates on prayers: an interesting concept. I know what you mean though; I hate to cross somebody off my list--ever--when they have an ongoing problem, but if we never crossed off anybody, we'd never have time to do anything but pray. I just try to leave it in God's hands to gently nudge me when it's time to let something go. I figure he can always answer retroactively too, even if I've stopped asking about something. :-)
