The Simple Woman’s Daybook: May 18, 2009

Out­side my win­dow … there is bright, hot morn­ing sun try­ing to break through the curtains.

I am think­ing … about the fact that I have not writ­ten much in the past few weeks. It is not because there is noth­ing that I want to say. Rather, it is because I have so much on my mind and a lot hap­pen­ing in my life. This past week­end, I sat down in front of the com­puter sev­eral times, deter­mined to begin writ­ing about all that is tak­ing place, but each time I was dis­tracted or called away to attend to respon­si­bil­i­ties. When the time is right, the words will flow.

I am thank­ful for … the long-planned changes in my life that are finally becom­ing a reality.

From the kitchen … comes the sound of the ice­maker work­ing to keep up with our demand for its prod­uct. Yes­ter­day, it was 103 degrees here and the tem­per­a­ture is expected to reach 95 degrees today. Although we are for­tu­nate to be able to stay inside with the air con­di­tioner run­ning, we seem to be drink­ing a lot of icy cold beverages.

I am wear­ing … a busi­ness suit.

I am read­ing … my email messages.

I am hop­ing … that I will find time this week to begin writ­ing about the new chap­ter of my life that is unfolding.

I am cre­at­ing … a new chap­ter of my life and it is exciting.

I am pray­ing … for dis­cern­ment and guid­ance in the days ahead.

Around the house … there is increas­ing orga­ni­za­tion as I work my way through each room, doing some much-needed “spring cleaning.”

One of my favorite things … is the feel­ing of excite­ment and antic­i­pa­tion that accom­pa­nies decision-making. After the pon­der­ing and delib­er­at­ing con­clude, it is exhil­a­rat­ing to move past that process and into the period of imple­men­ta­tion of the choice that has been made.

A few plans for the rest of the week … include mak­ing time to write about the thoughts and emo­tions that I have been expe­ri­enc­ing in the past few weeks, as well as my plans for the future.

Here is a pic­ture thought for you to pon­der dur­ing the com­ing week:
