The Simple Woman's Daybook {June Edition}

For Today

Looking out my window... chilly start to the week

I am thinking... that 60 feels so good on me and I am blessed to have reached this milestone.

 

I am thankful... for safety during our lake retreat. Always good to go and always good to return home.

One of my favorite things... country roads...love a country road!

I am wearing... long yoga pants and simple workout tee. I am hoping that my time on the treadmill this morning will warm me up a bit. It 51 degrees, this third day of June

I am creating... a loose plan for summer days since school will be out this week

I am watching... FBI

I am reading... 

~Return to the Sea ~ 

Reflections on Anne Morrow Lindbergh's Gift from the Sea

Anne M. Johnson

(see quote below)

I am listening to... more of...yep, country music. Just me for sure.

I am hoping... to get my new Kindle Fire up and running this week. A gift from my dolly girl and she bought it in buttercup yellow which will brighten my day each time I use it

I am learning... and re-learning how fast time flies. It is hard to believe this little guy in my arms  (my baby and youngest of six) will turn 16 this month 

In the garden... everything is now planted and peeking through the ground...right on time as all the many years of growing before and it looks like will be for many years to come. We are staying put...this is home

In the kitchen... getting ready for fresh strawberries

"Like the oyster shell, each of us is unique but not rare. None of us knows a life without struggles, without hardships, disappointments, even devastation. None of us makes it to adulthood without experiencing some event or set of circumstances that breaks our heart, or chips away at our self-esteem and inner confidence. Like the oyster shell, we each have

fought to have that place on the rock to which it has fitted itself perfectly and to which it clings tenaciously"

(from book mentioned above)

A moment from my day... a new papercut journey page. Creating these pages are such a release of emotion and thought. I make them for me, but share them with you :-)
