My January 2018 Post for the Simple Woman's Daybook

For Today

Looking out my window... It's snowing! And cold!! 15 degrees right now at 1:40 PM. Low tonight ZERO.

Cardinal and Woodpecker dine together at the full bird feeder. I think they saw me with my camera pointed at them. Looks like they paused to pose for a picture.

I am thinking... no one should be outside today, but I'm sure the snow sleds are calling the kids (and probably some fun-loving adults) to play in the snow.

I am thankful... for warmth. Heat pumps don't pump much heat on days like today. So thankful for our gas fireplace without which we would freeze.

One of my favorite things... Watching snow fall

I am creating... storage space for the things I actually use. It's a great feeling to purge your life of things you don't need, want, or use.

I am wearing... jeans, t-shirt, thick fuzzy socks, and my old but warm and comfy booties

I am reading... the Bible every day -- following our congregation's schedule for daily readings in the New Testament. Also, reading through the Old Testament this year using a schedule on one of the Bible apps on my iPad. Love these Bible apps and having access to study guides, commentaries, reading plans, and a whole lot of different translations.

I am watching... The X-Files, the new season 11. I love this show.

 I am listening to... at the moment, a shuffle of my tunes on iTunes

I am hoping... Neil can make it home from work without slip sliding into a ditch

I am learning... God is in control

In my kitchen... left over soup tonight or maybe BLTs and tomato soup

In the school room... Snow Day! They probably won't go the rest of the week

In my garden... if I had a garden, which I don't, it would be buried in snow right now

Board room... from my Inspirational board on Pinterest ... 

This one speaks volumes to me, literally and figuratively

A moment from my day... not today but January 5, hubby Neil, daughter Kelly, grandsons Elijah and Knox, and granddaughter Shelby (and moi) enjoyed the yummy ice cream at the Lazy Cow Creamery ice cream shop here in town -- good times!

Closing Notes... The snow has stopped falling. Sure was beautiful while it lasted. Hope you are somewhere warm.
