Sometimes the best home remedy for staying cheerful is to take stock of our lives and assess where we are and where we are going. I think that once the past is forgiven it is best to leave it back there with any baggage that it accrued at the time.
Once before on another one of my blogs I attempted to stay current with The Simple Woman’s Day Book. I love this idea! I was unable to do it then, but I am hoping that now I can. So, here are my thoughts for today. Check out her site, start your own and keep track of your life.
July 7th
Outside my Window…Bright and sunny. It is going to be nearly 100 today.
I am thinking…Of my son who has recently been stationed in Japan
I am thankful for…Answered prayers this weekend
From the kitchen…Looks like a tornado went through, I need to bake bread today.
I am creating…Nothing at the moment, but plans for a quilt to make with Shiloh soon
I am going…Antiquing this week, for a day to myself.
I am wearing…Oh, my…still in pajama bottoms and red tank top
I am reading…The Art of Living Romantically
I am hoping…for a a diagnosis for Marc
I am hearing…Children playing
Around the house…Messy, messy, messy
One of my favorite things…Autumn, cool weather and roaring fires!
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week..Taking steps to organize my office
Here is a picture thought I am sharing with you…Nick’s 8th birthday

Beth- my mothers family lives/lived in Lapeer and Columbiaville. I spent lots of happy summers there. You guys have some sticky nights at 75 degrees though!

We hit 100 rarely here in Michigan. That book sounds lovely. I read a similar book by Barbara Cartland. The book had many good ideas, though most of the travel suggestions was out of my price range.

I love to go antiquing! And you live near my home! Even with the heat, I miss the Metroplex.

ITami, I would love to start my organization process, rather than just talk about it! LOL! I used to be so organized…sigh

I don’t have an office or a desk. I have a table sitting in the dining room against the wall that I use as a desk. I want to organize my little area and deal with all my paper from over the years. I’d love to hear more about your organizing progress.
