Quite a weekend

For today--- from my daybook...  this is Sunday night
Outside my window...the cars with lights on going past my window one by one, a big loader with bright lights going by, no stars, just foggy clouds, and the other cars are picking up oranges and grapefruits from Florida

I am thinking... it has been a nice weekend after all, i am so glad it is over but wish it would start over again, that this might be a morbid post for all of you but then someone might relate also......well here is to a good week, may God bless us all.....

I am thankful for... that my daughter came today and we had a nice chat about things and to know she is finally growing up and realizing what being an adult finally is ..whatever that means...maturing i guess
I am wearing... the most confortable thing in the world....you guessed it..........................pjs

I am remembering...when my mom died, within the half hour she had turned cold and unmoving.  this sounds gruesome i know but i went to a friends funeral today and went to the casket to say goodbye and she was peaceful, i touched her hand and it was still..........hard remembering

I am going...to travel the 65 km to work all week and back--things don't change too much but i am thankful, going to lose weight,  going to phone my friend, going to make a scrapbook of photos

I am currently reading...Daniel and the Revelation by Uriah Smith and Damiel 11.  it is a long chapter and lots to evaluate

I am hoping... that after a great arguement that our family will find its way back together again, my son is a missionary in Brasil and i hope that his trip in the jungle will be safe as there will be no communication for a whole month--still again

On my mind... the funeral of a church family member which left a great impact on a lot of people and attended my women's ministry and always invited someone over for dinner everyday, never complained about anyone,  i wish to be as nice but have a long way to go
Also...of a couple that is going thru a hard time in their marriage.  i pray to God pleading that he will answer and help them to mend things together even for the children's sake

Noticing that... the weather has warmed up enough to make the day nice with the fluttering of a snowfalke here and there

Pondering these words...Unless we can hear each other singing and crying, unless we can comfort each other's failures and cheer each other's victories, we are missing out on the best that life has to offer..  The only real action takes place on the bridge between peiople.

From the kitchen... i made a fudge brownie and left it at the church kitchen for the guests

Around the house...just the main bedroom left

One of my favorite things...casket that is laiden with pink ruffles and lace taffeta and pillow--it was divine and the only way i would consider being buried in the ground!!!!!!

From my picture journal...

just lots of things

For today--- from my daybook


Outside my window...well! i am writing this on Sunday evening so it is quite dark out and chilly. the snow has been disappearing quickly and there are huge patches of ice all over the driveway although the highway is clear and dry


I am thinking... how can people talk so fast, some people are so lucky as to talk all day long without stopping!!!!   tomorrow i really have to wash my car as it hasn't been done all winter, but the roads are dry now sooooooo

I am thankful for... that God has blessed even though I am such a sinner.  what a merciful God I have!!!  everyday i have to be thankful for this same thing and every day i say the same thing  but that is okay...

I am wearing... sheesh...what would we do without pjs...but i was wearing jeans today and tomorrow i am in scrubs again, we start working in a brand new renovated office

I am remembering...when all the kids were home again and i should have been more thankful when they were young, it was so much fun to have them all home, it is fun to be busy

I am going...to travel the 65 km to work all week and back


I am currently reading...Daniel and the Revelation by Uriah Smith

I am hoping... that after a great arguement that our family will find its way back together again, my son is a missionary in Brasil and i hope that his trip in the jungle will be safe as there will be no communication for a whole month

On my mind... i have to rely on God and faith this week as the problems i have right now is beyond my reach and my hands can do no more so God please help......

Noticing that... it is so windy all day and the wind is roaring in the leafless  trees

Pondering these words...For many survivors, healing begins when they find a comforting shoulder or a safe place to talk about their complicated and conflicting ...

From the kitchen... tomato foccacia bread for work all week .....or will it last all week

Around the house...well not too much right now waiting for spring to organize my plants

One of my favorite things...pink flowers

From my picture journal...

Monday for all to see

For today--- from my daybook


Outside my window...it is a white sultry day that is snowing and cool andthe horse is standing outside trying to see if there is any movement in this house, he is a onely horse all day just standing there. Does he feel like me sometimes and wishes he had a dog around!!!!!!!
I am thinking... of what to write here and what to give my daughter and how i am going to remember what i am taught to give it to my clients, to bring honor to those who are gracious to me, to long for the day that i sleep forever and wake to eternity when Jesus comes

I am thankful for... that God has blessed even though I am such a sinner.  what a merciful God I have!!!

I am wearing... still in pjs after actually forgetting it was Monday, getting dressed in jeans after, it is amazing how many of us are in pjs.  we are ladies of the home i guess!!

I am remembering...how many times people have said i look so much like this lady and to some degree i do, no grey hair have i at 60, but it would be nice if i looked as young,,,,she is my grandmother who has now passed away

I am going...do the dishes, wait for my neighbor to bring potatoes over and then tomorrow probably take it to town for my daughter, to sew her curtains as well
I am currently reading...Daniel and the Revelation by Uriah Smith

I am hoping... could not find the Common Ground site,  but i am hoping that there is someone out there with whom i have that connection

On my mind... how come i feel so useless sometimes, and so i better get up and do something.  the things of this world are so empty, heaven seems so inviting right now

Noticing that... the snowfalkes were falling to the east instead of the west

Pondering these words...For many survivors, healing begins when they find a comforting shoulder or a safe place to talk about their complicated and conflicting ...

From the kitchen... nothing just raw green salad with sprouts and seeds

Around the house...washing is done so there is a lot of sewing to do, sweep th porch

One of my favorite things... raspberry sauce with asparagas and lemon with a mild white cheese

From my picture journal...

A busy day in January

For today--- from my daybook

Outside my window... it has been warm and maybe a chinoock is blowing by for the last couple of days, and raining and very windy,  right now it is five in the morning and dark

I am thinking... all night in my sleep how nice it is to breathe and wondering how i will do a breathing presentation...and how nice it is to sleep and let the world go by!!!!

I am thankful for... for peace and quiet even though i have had too much lately, for time off work, for green salads, that God is a joyful God

I am wearing... nothing new...same old ....pjs this time of morning....same old but very comfy jeans and shirt for the rest of the day

I am remembering... many years ago when I first moved to this valley, how empty the trailer was and how i slept on the floor in the living room with one mattress and a set of outdoor christmas lights around the mirrors to give me light, and now I have a full house of many things.

I am going... to get ready for my dinner tomorrow with the other dental clinic, going to Smithers today to shop,

I am currently reading...just magazines that i have around the house for projects to do and to dream of doing....hahaha..that is the only way it gets done!!!!!

I am hoping... a few of you or more would come by my facebook group and join me and the ladies there...just look for "Common Ground"...that sounds interesting for today......

On my mind... many things today--empty garbage, go shopping, icy roads,  things to say for presentation, how my kids are, how to save money to go to Bolivia again or is it somewhere else i need to go????

Noticing that... i am always the largest person in pictures and i need to get out and exercise and start to eat healthy again...groan ....but that should be easy right!!!!!

Pondering these words...Gen. 2:7....And God formed man out of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life...and man become a living soul.

What joy it must have been for God to give man life after forming every little cell and artery and hair and layering the skin across the dusted form of this man,  after breathing into him and giving him the smile of life and a mate to enjoy.  these are the things God cannot do---make our choices for us, give birth--although He can create--but what joy in his heart to give us these things

From the kitchen... couscous and red quinoa for breafast with raisins and cream!!!!

Around the house...well this may sound really silly but i put up the rest of my christmas decorations last night just to finish things off and enjoy the end product.  Christmas is so pretty..

One of my favorite things... oh yes and there was such a georgeous moon the other day....it was large and round except for the top as it was sort of rounded with the top taken off and it was orange in a subtle way
