December 27th 2010 ...
Outside my window... it is dark and wet, the kind of weather that makes you stay inside all day. I can see streaks of rain splash on the panes of glass. And it is cold.
I am thinking... I am thinking that I need to pursue some quiet reflective time and think about the upcoming year. I want to be intentional with my time, relationships, and choices.
I am thankful for...I am so grateful for the life I have here at our cozy house. I often need to remind myself and reflect on all that I have been blessed with. I am thankful for happy healthy kids that love the Lord and a husband who loves the Lord and me!
From the learning rooms... Not much has happened here since we have taken our holiday break. In the past I have done a modified school schedule but this year we took it off fully and I am really glad that we have. I have to say there has been lots of reading for pleasure though.
From the kitchen... tonight I made Crockpot Sloppy Joe's and a green salad with simple dressing. Delicious!
I am wearing...the usual work clothes and my apron
I am creating...Well I have been working on a mixed media bird book that I am enjoying very much. Didn’t get to work on it today. I am going to start another page this week (I hope!)
I am going...to take my daughter out to friends this week and go to the library with the boys.
I am reading...For Christmas this year my husband got me several old books at an estate sale some of them are great books of poetry, 2 wonderful art books- Art and the Bible and Art of the Masters. I just started The Vicar of Wakefield. I just finished Weaver of Dreams by Myrtle Reed, an author from the early 1900's.
I am hoping... For a year of rest and replenishment, but I am expecting a year of repair.
I am hearing... the drone of the the TV and the rumble of the dish washer.
Around the house...things are clean and picked up.Today was a day to make it happen! We spent a good portion of the day cleaning and putting away the remains of Christmas. Mopping, sweeping, de-junking drawers, rearranging, I love that feeling of a fresh start. For me it begins with my environment!
One of my favorite things...an orderly drawer with a place for everything and everything in its place. It brings me great peace.
A few plans for the rest of the week: I am planning to get back on track with my eating (too many Christmas sweets, oh dear) and continue my quest to purge and simplify life in all ways.

I like your plans for the week....I think Sunday will be a good day to begin healthy lifestyle...I know that everyone pays lip time to that with their resolutions but I've let myself go this year and that has effected all areas of my life...so big changes are coming...I keep a journal and always begin a new one on the first day of the year...its like a clean slate...
I enjoyed reading your daybook...have a blessed week.
