The Simple Woman's Daybook ~ New Year Edition

The Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY...


Outside my window... is snow that's no longer soft, but icy hard.


I am thinking... that tomorrow I need to give up junk food and start getting back on track with the healthy eating and exercise.


I am thankful for... being able to have a wonderful Christmas with my family.


I am wearing... my favourite pj's.


I am remembering...
my nanna, she's been in my thoughts a lot this Christmas and I still miss her loads.

I am going...
to keep relaxing and not over stretch myself anymore.

I am reading...
nothing. A trip to the library is needed as I'd like to read Stephanie Meyer's The Host.

I am hoping...
that I have the willpower to get back on track with the diet and exercise!

On my mind... what to do tomorrow with Ray and the kids, hoping for something fun.


Noticing that... I have an urge to take the Christmas tree down, maybe tomorrow.

Pondering these words...
Life is what you make of it. Always has been, always will be.

From the kitchen... I can still smell Christmas cake!


Around the house...
everything is quiet. The kids are sleeping and me and Ray are relaxing.

One of my favorite things...
not having to rush anywhere and being able to enjoy my family.

From my picture journal...
My baby, Abigail, enjoying her reading system.

How I feel

Wednesday


Really can't be bothered today at all so here I am, watching The Wright Stuff. Usually I'd be doing housework whilst listening to it but today I'm stuck to the couch with my tea and toast and I feel so lazy that I bet I stay like this for most of the day with very small bursts of housework mixed in.

Wisdom for the weekend: 5


Had I the heaven's embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,

I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Craft


You can't possibly craft without a cuppa, and it tastes even better in a mug you've made yourself.

Wisdom for the weekend: 4


This just had to be Whitby, the one place that I will never bore of visiting. I love, love, love to eat fish and chips there, to walk hand in hand with Ray there, to watch the kids crabbing and eating lemon tops there :O) Bliss!

Dust


Dani's garage door. Dust all the way in Barcelona, Ray added to this after the photo was taken, I think it will be a ritual every visit now.

Cold


This is the old coach road where I jog, I took this photo back in February and it really was a cold and frosty morning.

Nothing better than an early morning jog to blow the cobwebs away and give you a cute red nose!

Funky


This is a painting by an Amercan lady called Lynn Morrow. She painted it for our friends, Dani and Nuri after staying with them in Barcelona.

It shows her take on Gaudi and Dani's love for astronomy. Very funky!
