Daybook

 

Thursday and I am linking with  The Simple Woman's Daybook..  

Looking out my window

It is cool today at 63

°

F and sunny but humid at 96% something I can well do without.  It just makes my spine hurt so much.

I am thinking

Of plans I have for the future and repairs needed for the house.. new water heater, two   windows and one sliding glass door that no longer operate. A leaning toilet, old messy shower and rusting kitchen sink.. all need replacing soon.

I am happy that autumn is almost here but a bit sad that summer flew by in the blink of an eye.   I actually enjoyed the heat this year.  My attitude of enjoying whatever weather is here has begun to pay off.   We spend too much time complaining.

I am thankful

For a new roof.  After years with a leaking mess my roof is new and secure, thank God so very much for this blessing.

One of my favorite things

Is looking forward to the autumn holidays to come and planning for them.

I am creating

I am recreating myself with exercise, hopefully.

I am wearing

Today I am wearing denim pants and a black tee shirt. My feet are in moccasins as usual.  I would love to have a pair of Quoddy's made

I am listening to

I am listening to Mystery radio which I really enjoy so much.

I am hoping

My plans come together and my life will change.

I am learning

I am still doing my theology studies.

In my kitchen

I am cooking very simply and eating very plain foods lately.

In my garden

The lawn guy has not bothered to come, though he is under contract. Being disabled I am not able to cut my own lawn and it's getting out of hand.  A pox upon him!!  

Post Script

I am looking at rings from Shiny Jungle Jewellery on Etsy.  

I would love to buy his halo padparadscha.   The padparadscha is an orange/coral ruby and a

ruby is a sapphire. It is the rarest of gem stones and ranges in color from screaming orange to the palest of peach colors. He sells both light and dark.  I tend to like the dark as the light really looks more like a morganite.   Lab made gems are the real deal, just not from the ground.     I have always worn a ring, ones given to me by my father and I miss not wearing one now.

Closing Notes

"Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence."   —    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
