Last July

Last July I did a post using this exercise. I thought why not do it again...

Outside my window... long shadows stretch in contrast to the scorching sun

I am thinking...peacefully and with gratitude

I am thankful for... the way prayer has been changing me. C.S. Lewis said: I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time- waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God- it changes me.

From the kitchen...I have stolen a frozen chocolate Zinger. Breakfast of champions

I am wearing...color. It's getting less unusual all the time.

I am creating... calmness in chaos

I am going... to be a good mother today.

I am reading... six different books right now.

I am hoping... that all will be well with my children. School starts in four days.

I am hearing... the motion of the ceiling fan and the scratch of my nails on the keyboard.

Around the house... closets cry out for attention. I don't like cleaning closets because no one sees what I've accomplished. :)

One of my favorite things... words.


A few plans for the rest of the week... finish a Lord of the Rings marathon with Cameron, begin reading Catching Fire with Cameron and celebrate Fiesta Days in S.F.
