a bit of quiet

Okay, so there hasn't been much noise in my head lately. I've been managing to sleep even though I get up wanting to stay in bed just a bit longer. That's to be expected as my body is trying to play catch up. It's a beautiful sunny day today- not too humid and a touch cool. Such a nice change from all the rain and gray we've had so much of  this past month. The climbing rose is starting to bloom! That is not usual for this area; I don't get roses until June mostly. Lovely lovely yellow roses. My favorites are the old fashioned single kind. Gonna work on crocheting an edging for some curtains. I'll try doing some more hairpin lace. Later I'll drive over to one of my favorite shops for some incense and perfume oil. Praises to God for this day and the sweet air I breath! Gracious is He who blesses us! Amen.

5 things I'm grateful for today:

1. Sleep, blessed sleep. When I was young I could get by on 4-6 hours. Really! I was good to go and I could jump through hoops with weeks of just 4 hours a night. Now I'm older I need no less than 8-10; and love to sleep in. *sigh* Too be young again.
2. The love of small children. They love to be loved and boy are they lovable. Baby kisses, toddler kisses, and hugs are the best! They give them freely and I enjoy them so much because I know that as they get older they get fewer and fewer.
3. The generosity of friends. Friends are family that God has seen fit to place in your life. You fill a special place for them and they do the same for you.
4. Good decaf coffee. Anytime of the day is a good to time to enjoy a cup.
5. My husband. He is an awesome man and wonderful father. I am blessed to have him as my partner on this journey and look forward too many more years together.

The 5 things I am grateful for this day.

1. A good nights rest. I've been having such muddled dreams and too many of them lately. I wake up feeling exhausted.  And, no this was not because "S" was sick. This was going on well before.
2. That my spouse is feeling better. I feel bad for "S" because diabetes means a lowered immune system and that means getting sick more often. He hates living with diabetes.
3. Good strong coffee wtih flavored creamer. Yumyum!
4. A dirty house because that means I'm surrounded by people who love and live here. :)
5. A forgiving God who loves without end.

Let's get started cleaning and straightening. An elephant can be eaten--one bite at a time, one bite at a time.
