Outside my window... A sunny spring day. Trees in bloom. Birds chirping. That kind of day.
I am wearing... A black and white polka dot knit shirt, a little gray cardigan, jeans and my favorite boat-shoe crocs.
I am thankful for... Those moments when I realize I need to take a break. For real. A physical, emotional, spiritual break from all the juggling I constantly think I "need" to do.

I am thinking about... Things I need to do. See above. It is a terrible rut I've dug! I need to start smoothing that out.
Learning all the time... I think we'll revisit this another time. Trust me when I say that it is, of course, happening.
From the kitchen... Homemade pizza. Yum. Shrimp curry, lentils and rice (mujadara).
I am creating... Order in my house. Somewhat.
I am working on... Resting.
I am going... to my mom's house, once my rest is over for the day, to help create some order in her home.
I am hoping... to feel the physical and mental effects of the rest I am trying to take.
I am reading... Still Wodehouse, albeit intermittently. I got some new books for my birthday that I'm really looking forward to picking up (Wendell Berry and GK Chesterton). In the effort to rest, I have found curling up with a good show has been a bit more in order than reading lately.
I am praying for... For my family (immediate and not-so-immediate), and for the poor efforts and the moments of peace of this Lent to work it's healing in our life.
I am hearing... The dryer. And the birds outside. Nothing else! It's a rare quiet.
One of my favorite things... Made beds. A kind husband. A few minutes to make myself look nice in the morning.
A few plans for the rest of the week... It is the last week of Lent. There are plans but I need to remember they are not as important, so they are not going to be written down.
A picture thought I am sharing with you...
For whatever reason, this daybook did not capture much of my current thoughts, activities, emotions but I want to get a new post and new pictures up on the blog, so this will have to do for now.
