Simple Woman's Daybook: October 13, 2009

Peggy began this meme The Simple Woman's Daybook in her words:

"Would you like to linger on the simple things...then join me and many others in taking a little look into the day plans and thoughts of those who are focusing on simplicity...beauty of the 'everyday moments'."


For Today: October 13th from Lorie's Daybook:

Outside my window~ hot, overcast

I am thinking ~ I wish this headache would go away!

I am thankful for ~ our Halloween decorations are finally done! :-)

I am wearing ~ denim overall shorts and black tank top (bare feet as always)

I am remembering ~ how we used to FREEZE putting up Halloween decorations in Connecticut, I SO don't miss that!!

I am going ~ to start physical therapy treatment this week on Thursday -- FINALLY

I am reading ~ The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Anne Shaffer and Annie Barrows

I am hoping ~ That my son will take all his Army training and return with his unit and all the troops safely from Afghanistan

On my mind ~ war; how absurd I think it is that President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize; finances; my health and healthcare reform; how much I miss my children; how much I love my husband and doing things with him.

Noticing that ~ the older I get, the more I look to the past, and the more I am nostalgic for the things I did with my children and wish I could do them again, and hope that they look at them the same way that I do: with love and joy.

Pondering the words ~ From my friend Grace at Sandier Pastures: "You have a very brave fighting spirit! An inspiration to everyone." It made me feel so wonderful... I have never felt that way about myself, and it was so nice to hear someone say that about me, so thank you Grace, I love you and your blog!

From the kitchen ~ I'm making ravioli with fresh tomatoes, sausage, garlic, and olive oil, with a little bit of grated cheese.

Around the house ~ WAY too many books that I want to read

One of my favorite things ~ Spending time with my hubby, just hanging out and listening to music.
