The Simple Woman’s Daybook for January 7, 2019

For Today

Looking out my window…dark and damp.

I am thinking…about my Word of the Year: Cultivate.

I am thankful…for a Christmas holiday spent with family in Canada.

One of my favorite things…thinking about what to read in the New Year… 😉

I am creating…pages in my new bullet journal.

I am wearing…my new sweatshirt from Out of Print.

I am watching…The Great Tours: England, Scotland, and Wales from The Great Courses (another Christmas gift).

I am hoping…our first week back goes well – the first day went better than I thought it might.

I am learning…about Essential Truths of the Christian Faith along with the kids in Morning Time – shopping my shelves again – I’ve had this one since I was a teenager!

In my kitchen…chicken noodle (actually, couscous) soup tonight.

In the school room…The Wind in the Willows, Ben-Hur, 1493 for Young People, and The Lord of the Flies were four more books started in our homeschool today. 🙂

Post Script

A good reminder for those of us who tend to get caught up in the future possibilities inside our heads, whether that be exciting plans or nagging worries: Living One Day (Or Moment) At a Time

A moment from my day…he loves books with maps. ♥
