Daybook Entry - Monday, Mar 2nd, 2009

Editor-in-Chief: Meg Dreifuss

I am writing from: a wintry, Raleigh, NC
The clock says: 2:23pm

The weather outside is: cold, windy, and there's about 2" of snow on the ground. The sun has peaked out here and there today, but it's a beautifully crisp day full of white.

Little scraps from my desk: taxes, notes,

Blessings list: My husband has a job to go off to this afternoon (even with the weather delay), a warm, soft home to retreat to, fresh bread from Whole Foods

I am wearing: baggy jeans, long sleeve shirt, pull-over, tenni's

What's in the reading basket: Choosing Simplicity: Real People finding Peace and Fulfillment in a Complex World (Pierce)

Worthy to watch: The birds flittering between the snow covered branches.

About town: Town is pretty much shut down for the snow today. Some areas got up to 7", so schools are out and there's a forecast for ice and more cold.

Music to my ears: The hum of the heater. The coffee pot brewing another pot.

Steps towards simplicity: Starting this daybook journey

My idea corner: Can I really pull together a yard sale in a week? Do I want to pull together a yard sale in a week?

Kitchen journal: Joyfully finding ways each day to use the goodies from our Whole Foods trip last Thursday. Today was the pita bread that needs to get eaten. At lunch we dipped it in soup. Tonight we will use them to make mini pizzas with fresh organic salad.

A home comfort: Making chocolate and caramel snow with my children for a lunch time treat. We couldn't go out because everyone has mild colds, but we could still enjoy the weather a bit.

Nature notes: The daffodils have bloomed, but the Gerbers have not started to peek their leaves out yet. Debating about a garden.

Prayer tablet: Prayer for Amy Biedny, who is fighting brain cancer and her husband, Barry. Prayer for quick healing from these germs.

On my mind: Becoming the Mom that I want to be.

Pondering these words: Will have to bring words to ponder next week.

Family frolics: All sat together watching a show last night and the cuddling was fabulous.

My praise paper: I might be starting to get the whole workings of submission.

Bible notes:

In my creative nook: This Daybook! :)

A walk outdoors: Not today. All are sniffling.

Parting words to the Society: Thanks for letting me join in!
