The weather outside is::::
Dreary and relatively mild, with frigid nights!
On the breakfast plate this morning::::
Coffee and yogurt, Then after an important meeting Hubs took me to breakfast at the Toastery! Yum!
As I look outside my window::::
Dreary skies, and damp looking. Think I''ll stay in the rest of the day!
As I look around the house::::
Hubs is anxious to take down Christmas. I say, let's wait til Epiphany just 2 more days.
I'll sit by the fire with the lights on today and tomorrow and write in my gratitude journal and make some calls. In my Christian journal I set a goal; I wrote I would take more interest in family and friends....especially elderly friends, so I aim to call a relative a friend each week.
What I'm wearing today::::
Gray flannel slacks and a warm red Henley shirt
Currently reading::::
Ann Voskamp's book 1000 Gifts. I started my new gratitude journal. but still have some to read from Ann's book! I take it slowly to savor it!

Prayers, Inspiration quotes, Devotionals::::
Dear God, nothing takes you by surprise. You know everything that has transpired in the last few years in our nation.. I won't take your time reminding you but please know that our hearts are wrenching from the knowledge that our nation has fallen beyond the pale into the hands of an evil entity that has been brewing for a long time, but who has reared its ugly head mightily in the last few weeks. Deception, deception, deception!!! You know best what is to be done, so we wait patiently for your help! Thank you for your peace that passes all understanding.
Such a great picture of your family. Sure hope 2021 permits us to see our family and friends.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you!
I like to wait on the Nativity until Jan 6 but I do take the rest of my stuff down right after Christmas. Your menus always sound wonderful. Happy New Year! I hope the first week of the new year is amazing for you.
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of your family...so sweet and happy. Your menu sounds wonderful. I don't know what a Vlog is...is that on the computer or on TV? I guess you could do it either way. I love Ann Voskamp's book and have gone through that one before. It was a game changer for me and how I view life. So many blessings to count all around us!! We just need to pay attention!! Thank you for reminding me. I need to refresh my memory on that and start anew. Happy new Year!!
ReplyDeleteHi, Pamela, Hoipe you are settling into 2021 with grace and vigor... My I do ahve great hopes for the year.. hoping to get that vaccine out to as many people aas possible in good time.. without turmoil ... It seems everything is fraught with a bit of turmoil, especially today! Btw, a vlog is a video blog found on youtube. There are so many kinds.. Thenfirst one I discovered was Fairyland cottage abaout a young lady living in Ireland in a very ecological manner.. leaving a very small footprint in her lifestyle.. I found it charming and a bit curious.. then that led me to many others,, lifestyle in England, I am a great anglophile and so I am interested in things like that! A great cooking one is Entertaining with Beth! YOu might really enjoy watching one or two of hers.. I find it much more intersting to catch a vlog than much of regular tv.. and even Netflix. So that is waht has gotten my attention for 2021, but I also am remembering my journalling and Bible work. Have a great rest of your week and God bless!
