The Simple Womans Day Book
FOR TODAY...October 12th
I am thinking... I am in love with being a wife and homemaker. What a fun life. Even when it is hard I have no "big brother" looking over my shoulder.
I am thankful for... The life of a husband that prays with me.
I am wearing... My mothers apron, a plum sleeveless top that has an umpire waiste. knee length shorts that are of denim. My feet are shoeless, touching the earth below me grounded in the beauty of the reality of life. Pearl ear wires that have cz shining above the pearl
I am remembering... How often I once commented and interacted with all of you. Setting the garden took me away from blogging for a season...I once set that goal of having an extintion to the garden now that goal is all but met.
I am going... To enjoy my children home all week. It is fall break the timing is perfect! Travel to the bloggers retreat is next week so wonderful to spend every day with them before I go.
I am reading...Eldala yet for little reading time of late, also doing study on gardening, decor and child development.
I am hoping... to fill up the cup of those around me that I so love. Encourage those who need it. rest and comfort my own soul as well...as need. To enjoy each moment I have breadth.
On my mind... Laundry and a clean home. My beloved will walk in the door soon and my heart leaps at the thought. I just want to hold him and bask in the richness of his fellowship. I have a supper for all of us.
From the learning rooms... all is quiet it is fall break. Dash is writing a fictional diary of WWII soldiers.
Noticing that... with a pre teen removing the battle allows her to change her mind. When I let go of the refusal of the red under gray with a 2" black stripe....she now choose of HER own free will a wonderful pink turquoise lavender palate YE-PEE I think if I would of pushed her not too she would of had to of given me a fight for it. She is growing up now into that need for independence. She sure has a good Daddy. He really helps me to let go just enough to allow her wing growth.
Pondering these words... "mom I am afraid for my friend and her Mother that they are gonna have hard times...do you think that she might ever need to live with us?"
From the kitchen... A choice of cod or steak...peas, mixed corn and carrot or tomato raw
Around the house... floors need attention. children happily playing at the end of a school free day. Now no more school for the rest of the week fall break. Voices and ideas and games shared...just wonderful.
One of my favorite things~ listening to my children

DONETTA,
I JUST LOVE THIS POST VERY MUCH. IT IS SO HOW I FEEL. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEARTS, MARRYING SEPTEMBER 13, 1973.
A MARRIAGE IS NOT EASY AT TIMES BUT IT TAKES WORK, GOD THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE AND JESUS LORD OF EACH ONE'S LIFE, AND THEN THE COMMITMENT TO LOVE AND RESPECT EACH OTHER....BUT YOU KNOW ALL THAT BEING MARRIED 27 YEARS.
I LOVE BEING A MOTHER. I LOVED AND NOW LOVE MY GROWN CHILDREN BEING AROUND. (I only have the two...Amy 33 years old and Richie 26 years old and our beautiful dil, Megan.)
I JUST THOUGHT READING YOUR POST HOW HAPPY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TO BE AT YOUR FRAGRANT HOME THIS EVENING EMBRACING ALL THE JOY.
YOU KEEP THAT LOVE AND JOY EMBRACED AROUND YOUR HOME AND MAY JESUS ALWAYS BE LORD AND THE SONSHINE FILL EVERY ROOM.
BLESSINGS TO YOU
ANGEL HUGS
