Simple Woman's May Day Daybook

For Today... May 1, 2013

Outside my window...skies are grey, we have had rain for a couple of days; that is a bit unusual for this time of year and so wonderful.

I am thinking...school curriculum for next year. What has worked, what hasn't, what do I want to add how to rekindle my love of teaching my children. Wishing I had the opportunity to attend this conference.

I am thankful for... two broken elbows and the simple lessons this is teaching me.

I am wearing... capris, a t-shirt and hobbit shoes. It is summer.
 
I am remembering...homeschooling is a marathon, not a sprint. The same thing I was remembering the last time I posted a Daybook, and that was lifetime ago, why change a good thing.

I am going...
to way too many Dr. appointments lately.

I am currently reading... nothing, but I just picked up Francine Rivers', and the Shofar Blew.

I am hoping
...to finish school up in the next couple of weeks, start summer lists, get to the beach often, and tackle a few projects.
 
On my mind... how to better serve my husband as we alter lifestyle and activities to impact some health issues.

Noticing that... it takes me longer and longer to get simple things done. They seem to require a lot more brain power.
 
Pondering these words... "Luke warm people do whatever is necessary to keep themselves from feeling too guilty. They want to do the bare minimum to be "good enough" without it requiring too much of them." Francis Chan, Crazy Love

From the kitchen
... BBQ chicken, squash casserole and a lot of salad.

Around the house... so long sliding glass doors and curtains, this has been a long time coming and I am so happy with the new doors.

One of my favorite things ~ when the grass turns from brown to green with just one rainfall.
 
From my picture journal...
NEW doors, yeah!
 
 
 
Thank you Peggy for the Simple Woman's Daybook {follow links to read more}.

Happy Birthday friend! Love the new doors...I have always favored French doors over sliding doors anyday! ;D

Continuing to pray God's grace and healing over you...Kailynn lifted you up during family prayer time last night. {I love to hear the little ones pray for the people we love.}

So nice to visit here with you again.

Blessings as you close out one year and plan for the next!

Hello from DownUnder in Australia!
It's always so interesting to read what another woman has on her mind on one particular day :D

Good to see you posting again, Lisa! I'm curious, what did you do to break both elbows?

Love your new french doors! I prefer them over sliding doors, too. I love anything that lets in the light ...

I love when the grass turns from brown to green also. I love me some spring color!

Ok, have to ask, what is a hobbit shoe? Is it flip-flops?
