Outside my window... A gray mass of clouds. It's about 55 degrees out.
I am thinking... I have to find ways to look for joy in my life. Instead of seeing the messes my kids make and being irritated, seeing little ones living and growing in all their playful projects instead. It's all in how you look at things.
I am thankful for... The blessings of home, a well-stocked pantry, healthy children, the kitty cat mewing at my feet.
From the kitchen... Baking a strawberry pie with my girls today.
I am wearing... A gray-blue t-shirt and black capris, preparing to do a quick workout.
I am hoping... that the clouds will release some rain and blow away.
I am praying... for patience, tolerance, a renewed sense of joy and purpose.
I am listening to...crickets chirping! I wish Rosie (the tarantula) would hurry up and eat them!
Around the house... progressing toward a less cluttered life! I am now working on putting all my homeschool planning into my computer, to reduce the piles of paperwork. Calendars and lists are going into the computer, too, and pictures.
One of my favorite things... a slow and easy morning.
A few plans for the rest of the week... working on a decluttered home, on preparing homeschool materials and curriculums, and taking time to enjoy my kids and husband.
