The Simple Woman’s Daybook: April 27, 2009

by Hopeful Spirit on Monday, 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:

Quiet time in the morn­ings before any­one else is up is def­i­nitely one of my favorites, too!

I have only become a morn­ing per­son because of work. Other wise I am a diehard night owl. My favorite time is between mid­night and 2 am. The silence, oh…it just seeps lov­ingly into my veins. The night sky full of mil­lions of crys­tal Christ­mas lights. My soul is renewed to face what­ever is ahead.
Prayers for all that are in despair…and all who have yet to expe­ri­ence the peace­ful­ness each day begins and ends with.

What a nice post. I am always pray­ing for Stel­lan and all lit­tle per­sons like him in the world. I say a lit­tle pray for them.

I am not a woman so I can’t feel the exact what the feel at dif­fer­ent times but I really enjoy that silent and quiet time in morn­ing.
@Annie, diehard night owl is just a feel­ing for me because I felt that too much in all my life. I love to sleep at night now and to wake up early in the morning.

Let’s all pray for lit­tle chil­dren. When I see tragedy like this one I always for­get about my lit­tle problems.

I’ve noticed that when I med­i­tate for 10 min­utes before get­ting to work, I am much more pro­duc­tive than when I don’t. Med­i­ta­tion has improved my focus and my effi­ciency greatly. Have you ever tried it?

I’ve also been try­ing to wake up 10 min­utes ear­lier each day so I can take advan­tage of the morn­ings when the house is most quiet! Its a good tech­nique because that way your body doesn’t resent you very much when you’re get­ting out of bed!

All the lit­tle childen should be prayed.I wish them have a great childhood.

I love the smell of cof­fee! Hate the taste though so I never drink it I don’t know what’s wrong with me.. :roll:

i checked out mckmama’s link and it’s great to hear mckmuffin’s doing bet­ter… pray­ing his con­di­tion gets even better!

I’m more pro­duc­tive in the evening and early morn­ing — but the cof­fee defi­nately helps. I also find (like I read in some­one elses com­ment) a quick med­i­ta­tion (even a stand­ing med­i­ta­tion) helps me focus on what I need to do rather than want to do! and also relaxes me
