The thoughts in brain are swirling, and while they would make a great bunch of mini-posts…I’d rather just cram them all into one…in list form.

(And I may have swiped an idea from Janice…)

Outside my window…is luscious green-neess with a beautiful shimmer from the rain.  The grass is (mostly) mowed, the trees are blossoming, the honeysuckle is fragrant (although I can’t smell it from in here, nor does it make me sneeze from here ), and my garden is growing.  The pool, unfortunately, is also lusciously green.

I am thinking…about this path that God has me on.  And…how HARD but BEAUTIFUL it can be just to trust and let go.  And, how letting go isn’t just a one-time decision, but more of a moment by moment sort of thing.  I’m also thinking about the changes and the people and the circumstances that have been brought to me.  And, how they’re changing me…and how I’m SO thankful for each and every one of them.

I am thankful for…my beautiful family, my church family, friends (who are basically family, too), and the continuous blessings and mercy that keep finding us…

From the kitchen…We still have food from our church family in the freezer!  It’s been such a blessing…
I am wearing…a blue gown (the night-time variety, not the elegant event sort)
I am creating…folded laundry and swept floors today.
I am going…nowhere for the rest of the evening (I think).
I am reading…Nice Girls Don’t Have Fangs by Molly Harper, a local author who was just published; The Backyard Homestead which is a FABULOUS book for making the most of your yard and how to fit in great fruits and veggies with a small yard…and animals…and recipes!  Also, Mother Earth News is one of my new favorites for magazines.  It’s AWESOME.  Oh…and I’m also reading Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum novels…I’m on the twelfth one right now.  On top of that…we’re reading the Love Dare together.

I am hoping…for a passing PT test (for Steven), and to get the house and pool clean this week….

I am hearing…the rocking of the swing that Aurora is in and Steven and Lorelei singing in the kitchen…

Around the house…We should SO be cleaning.  The house is a mess.  And, gross.   But, I don’t want to and  I think I may have pulled a muscle in my stomach…so I’m resting today.

One of my favorite things…my babies.  And, simple pleasures…like drive in movies with “double features”

A few plans for the rest of the week:  Cleaning and chores and such, Disc golf and dinner with treasured friends, and who knows what else…
