The Simple Woman’s Daybook: April 27, 2009

Out­side my win­dow … the sun is shin­ing, but the wind is blow­ing and it is only 47 degrees! The weather fore­caster says the tem­per­a­ture will not even reach 70 degrees, describ­ing our weather pat­terns as a “rollercoaster.”

I am think­ing … about how cold it is in com­par­i­son to this time last week when we had tem­per­a­tures in the 90’s.

I am thank­ful for … home and shel­ter from the wild weather variations.

From the kitchen … the smell of cof­fee brew­ing is entic­ing me to take a break from writ­ing and go pour myself a cup.

I am wear­ing … a cot­ton night­gown that is too thin to keep me warm on this cold morning.

I am read­ing … MckMama’s last post about her sweet baby boy, Stel­lan. So happy to hear that his con­di­tion has sta­bi­lized over the past cou­ple of days! Pray­ing it remains so!

I am hop­ing … that I have min­i­mal inter­rup­tions at work today so that I can get a lot of tasks completed.

I am cre­at­ing … an atmos­phere of calm, peace­ful­ness, and tran­quil­ity around me so that I can get into a “zone” that is most con­ducive to productivity.

I am pray­ing … that the will of the Divine Cre­ator be done in all situations.

Around the house … all is quiet. I am the only one who is awake.

One of my favorite things … is being the only one awake so that I can enjoy some quiet time in my home before leav­ing for work.

A few plans for the rest of the week … a brief trip out of town for busi­ness, a cou­ple of appoint­ments with doc­tors for rou­tine check-ups and, hope­fully, lots of items checked off my “to do” list.

Here is a pic­ture thought I am shar­ing with you, urg­ing you to pray not just for Stel­lan, but for all hos­pi­tal­ized chil­dren, their fam­i­lies, and their physi­cians and care­givers that they be given wis­dom and the gift of heal­ing:
