Looking Out My Window:
It may have been in the mid 30's this morning; but by the time we left for our monthly breakfast, it was a bit warmer. And a beautiful sunny day!!

I Am Thinking
'Tis the season...
For spending!
For over spending!
For making due with what I can do...
It's not the gift or the price that was paid for it; it's the thought that counts! Right?!
That's what I think! And, since funds are limited, I will be thinking more about the gift that keeps on giving...
Memories!
And sharing with family and friends!

I Am Thankful:
For all of the blessings that God has bestowed upon me and my family; blessings given through others that are known and unknown to me! Blessings that fill my days with joy...
Thank you, God, for all these blessings; and for all those who share their resources. Bless those who bless others! And, help me to be a blessing to others as well.

One of My Favorite Things:
I love the holidays, and all of the wonderful things that I can do with my family and friends.
But, I also know that I can enjoy my family and friends throughout the year; I don't have to wait for the holidays or a special time!
My favorite things are not things; but the people that are in my life; the memories that we make together!
I Am Creating:
Crafting time has slowed a bit now that the holidays and all those events are here.
{And now that all of those swaps have been completed!}
I did join a few friends last Friday before our die cut swap and created a layout...
The colors of this layout are not traditional to the Christmas colors of red and green! But, it's still a cute layout to use for "Naughty or Nice"...I'll find the right photos!
I Am Wearing:
I finished reading "Trading Places" by Fern Michaels and a few days later started reading "The Brethren" by John Grisham...
I Am Hoping:
For a good outcome at my husband's visit with the neurologist tomorrow...
I am not sure what I expect the outcome to be; but I know it's the step that needs to be taken at this time.

I Am Wearing:
A pair of jeans capri's with a white long-sleeved shirt with Christmas trees! A pair of white socks and a pair of black slippers...
Quite a combination; but it's comfy!

I Am Learning:
Mostly, I am learning that I need to step back and take things one day at a time. Not to try to rush ahead and figure out what "may" happen!
I am learning that every day will not be the same as the day before or even the weeks before. Each day brings its own set of worries or concerns; and it doesn't help me or anyone else to be worrying or concerned over things yet to be...
So, taking things one day at a time!

In My Kitchen:
Since we left so early for our monthly breakfast, I didn't get the dishes in the dishwasher running before we left!
So, after we eat - leftovers! - I'll run a full load!
Shared Quote:
Though there are moments when things don't look quite as bright as other days, it's the moments that do make my days brighter that I want to treasure and remember!
So ends another post for the Simple Woman's Daybook! Another post; another week passing...

A Moment From My Day:
Every day brings its own little moments; little memories and things that make my every day a bit brighter.Though there are moments when things don't look quite as bright as other days, it's the moments that do make my days brighter that I want to treasure and remember!
