Simple Woman's Daybook ~ Week of September 7, 2009

For Today:

Outside my window: the leaves are gently waving in the late-summer morning's breeze. The sun is shining through a sheer filter of clouds, and all is peaceful in my backyard.

I am thinking: that with the calendar change to September, comes a new school year for many and a refocus of the year's goals, hopes and dreams for me.

From the learning rooms: I want to be more like the Good Samaritan than the priest and Levite that were too busy or too fearful to help a wounded soul in need (see Sept 6 2009 post in my regular blog for more on this)

I am thankful for: God's incredible blessings to me and for giving hubby and I such a wonderful vacation in Myrtle Beach last month!

From the kitchen: I have made my cup of tea, Vanilla black tea as usual, and enjoyed a delicious fresh peach for a breakfast "appetizer" while I finished my latest read.

I am wearing: white tank top and my "Bear Butt" boxers from Boyd's Bear Country.

I am reading: my Bible, my new bible study "Me, Myself and Lies", and not sure which of the novels in my large stack purchased on vacation I'll dig into next.

I am hoping: the rain holds off today because we have some delicious ribs and pulled pork to enjoy at Ribfest today!

I need: to get cracking on my next assignment ~ only 4 more to go and I'm done my course... I can't believe it!!

I am creating: well... I'm not creating... but I NEED to start creating baby sweaters for my niece's triplets that are due this Fall. You can read about them at their Daddy's blog, Quickly Outnumbered, but if you go there, please pray for the health of both their Mommy, my niece and for them! We're holding out for a miracle from God!

I am hearing: inspiring worship music: At this exact moment, "Cry Out to Jesus" by Third Day.

Around the house: a little clutter on the dining room table, the sound of my hubby upstairs on this holiday Labor Day, and worship music lifting my spirit in the living room while I blog.

One of my favorite things: spending time with family, like today at Ribfest!

A few plans for the rest of the week: RibFest but you know about that already, chiropractor Tuesday morning, lunch with my Mother-in-law Wednesday, working on my assignment, laundry, housework, and whatever else God brings across my path!

Here is a picture thought to share with you:
