Simple Woman's Day Book



FOR TODAY:  January 2, 2012


Outside my window.... sunny and very pretty but getting very chilly.

I am thinking.... the beginning of new year and what it will hold

I am thankful....that God is providing my needs and that my first Social Security check arrives this month.

From the learning rooms.... patience! That is an ongoing lesson.

In the kitchen....brown basmati rice and organic veggies for a stir fry. Steel cut oats for breakfast.

I am wearing....black knit pants and a blue and white striped top.

I am creating....nothing at the moment but hope to get started on my Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt in the next couple of weeks.

I am going....grocery shopping today or tomorrow and the bank tomorrow. Otherwise staying in with this cold weather.

I am wondering....as I'm taking down Christmas decorations, just when I should begin packing for a move.

I am reading.... The Kind Life Diet by Alicia Silverstone

I am hoping.... to get bills paid tomorrow. No bank deposits today because of the holiday.

I am looking forward to.... eventually moving and getting settled. I hate being in limbo

I am hearing.... my mother's TV in the back ground..

Around the house.... the place is in an upheaval while I'm packing away Christmas decorations.

I am pondering.... all the changes happening in my life and how I am handling them.

One of my favorite things.... a pretty, clean home with things around me that have sweet memories.

A few plans for the rest of the week: mostly getting the house back to normal,

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

  1. It is very cold here this morning! I had 23 when I got up. I did not have all the decorations to remove and I have enjoyed the calm after the holiday. As far as packing...you could start packing things that you don't use on a daily or weekly basis. Then you would be some ahead and less stressed at move time.

  2. Hi Melanie, Happy Monday. I loved reading your SWD, I've copied your questions for my Monday Musings ;-) I like that there's more questions to answer here.

  3. Happy Monday and Happy New Year! Moving again? Didn't you move not too long ago? I know what you're in for. I still haven't gotten everything unpacked and I've been here almost two months.

    I am so jealous that you're retiring. I still have another 15 (maybe more) years before I can retire. I know exactly how I'm going to spend it, too!

    Finally, your son is gorgeous!

  4. My decorations are all put away until next year. It feels really good. Clean slate. Happy New Year!
