DAYBOOK Entry

FOR TODAY:  March 9, 2010

Outside my window...  It is once again a overcast gray

day.  The weatherman keeps insisting that we are going

to get rain or snow sometime during the day.  That's ok

as we need the moisture and I know that if it does snow

it won't last very long.  

I am thinking...  How nice it is to have more daylight

hours.  However I do not look forward to the time change

this weekend as I enjoy more morning hours.  Seem to

get so much more done.

I am thankful for...  Hands that work and eyes

that see so that I can sew, work in my yard, read,

enjoy the beauties that surround me and do the

things that bring me great joy.  

I am wearing...  My standard dress for the day.

I am remembering...  My Mother's hands and failing

eyesight and how she did not let those "little" inconveniences

keep her from doing her beloved handwork right up to

the very end of her life.

I am going...  To our Relief Society Birthday

Party this evening.

I am hoping...  For clear blue skies tomorrow and

warmer temperatures.

I am reading...  Some of my old "Miniature

Quilt" magazines.  Trying to decide what to

keep and what to dispose of.  Knowing me

I'll end up keeping them all thinking that I

will somehow, sometime, get to all those

adorable little quilts I have bookmarked.

On my mind...  My appointment for my

upcoming mamogram. 

  

Noticing that...  The promised rain is

beginning.      

Pondering these words...  "The path to 

cheerfulness is to sit up cheerfully and to act and

speak as if cheerfulness were already there."

...William James

From the kitchen...Once again the tantalizing

smell of freshly baked whole wheat bread. 

Around the house...  Files waiting to be set up,

sewing projects beckoning me, and a little vacuuming

and dusting waiting to be done.

One of my favorite things... Time to read without

feeling like I should be doing something more

productive.

I am wishing that...  Life was not going by so

quickly.

A few plans for the rest of the week: 

1.  Finish gift for a friend

2.  Shopping for Easter Gifts

3.  Working on all those unfinished projects

4.  More yard work

5.  Grocery shopping--taking advantage of the

case lot sales.

From my picture journal...  

This picture of my granddaughter playing in

fall leaves and reminding me that all this

work of raking up old leaves that wintered

in the garden are really worth it when I see

such a look of pure delight.  Guess the trees

will have to stay!
