The Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY April 7th 2008

Outside My Window... is a freshly seeded summer lawn. Sky's blue a pale azure. The tree is missing in the yard behind me , they cut it way back and the hummingbirds absence is pronounced. I miss them.

I am thinking...I have a responsibility now to keep ready and set to task to accomplish this goal of selling. I have only to do everything in my power. The rest is up to Gods divine purpose. What a privilege that I have important work that matters so much to my families future financial success. I am so glad that I have no longer the terrible depression that so robbed me of my personality for a few weeks there. Stress was so hard on me. I feel compassion on myself for the things I endure and the slow to kindness that I offer myself. Delayed yet nurtured back into good health.

I am thankful for...A soft heart. The thing that got me so upset in the stress was all the temptations to root of bitterness. I saw how in a weakend state I was like a wounded creature with vultures over head waiting for me to die. The Semaritains that helped me back to health and paid my way were a gift. I saw love in action in so many of my friends . For this I am most Thankful.

From the kitchen...It is clean and no service of main meal offered today. It was left over elbow macaroni for the children. I have not eaten any supper proper. No real appetite tonight. Beloved had nachos and beans. He is content and appreciative of the mopping of all the floors in the house and said the place is immaculate. He said g"go rest you sure earned it"...

I am creating...A future of being debt free. A life style of family first and things after people. A schedule of family life around showing and selling a home. The dogs are being walked (or dragging me) to get them better ready to handle a showing by going for a walk.

I am going...To the dentist tomorrow to have my teeth cleaned and to talk over the implant I need done on that tooth I lost last fall. I also have an afternoon play date to the park with the children and the school book fair is tomorrow for the kids to attend.

I am reading...Up on some of those fellow bloggers who I have not been able to visit. I have enjoyed psalm 91 recently. I am looking into the lives of those who touch my own life and reading the needs for intercessions.

I am hoping...To keep this right mind and for the buyer of this home to be prepared for them to resist temptations. That I would resist temptations. To be whole body soul and spirit. :)

I am hearing...silence for the children are bedded and I click clack the letters of this post.

Around the house...It is pristine, a model home. Void of me and all of the things that were ours. Well at least most of them. I am thinking minimal is nice in it's own way. I will let go of more possessions I think when we move. Less is nice.

One of my favorite things...Peace within my mind and a calm spirit.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: Continued deep cleaning , windows glass and such. Taking a girl friend out one evening. going for walks with the dogs and even without the dogs. Keeping the house show ready at all times!

Here is picture thought I am sharing...

Looking to the future, knowing HIS eye is upon me.

The Simple Woman is the original home of The Simple Woman's Daybook.

The Simple Woman's Daybook will take place each Monday.

Now you can share with others a little look into your day plans and thoughts while you are focusing on the simplicity of the everyday moments around you. That is my vision for this idea! Slow down, take time and enjoy the moment...the day.
