♥♥ As I look outside my window ♥♥ 

It truly is a grey, dreary day. Looks like a great day to do some reading.  Hubs has the coffee on so I’m all set!

♥♥ Right now I am ♥♥ 

I am working on this post, watching a bit of Fox News and wondering, really, can anything that man can do to fix our broken nation?  We need God to intervene, but I am thinking we are so near the end that probably is not going to happen! I just keep looking up and praying!

♥♥ Thinking and pondering ♥♥ 

I watched a very interesting video last night about why we awaken in the middle of the night, which I do just about every night, and it usually is around 3am. The video said it very likely is the lord seeking us to get up and seek Him. Give Him our undivided attention and be led by His Spirit moving within us. He may be warning us  of the enemies attack on our bodies.  Warning us to fight the good fight to ward off the enemies attack. But mostly He is  seeking to see if we will just spend some quality time with Him. Last night I suddenly awakened a few minutes before 3, so I got up to sit in my chair with my blanket. And I gave my mind over to the Lord. I talked to Him and praised Him and waited. I sensed a very warm, contented feeling, so I sang a praise song in my heart. I remember smiling the whole time. It was very sweet!  And then I was  released and the next thing I knew it was 5am.  I had slept so soundly in my chair. I got up and went back to bed and slept like an Angel. What is amazing about this is .I usually, once awake, cannot get back to sleep and will sit in the chair wide awake for several hours before crawling back into bed!

♥♥How am I feeling ♥♥ 

I am feeling much stronger every day from my norovirus  from a couple weeks ago. I have some household chores I need to address this week.  Much if it requires quite a bit of purging and getting rid of things, especially in the basement.

♥♥ On the breakfast plate ♥ ♥
. I am sitting here enjoying my fruited yogurt with chipped walnuts on top. This plus my coffee make up 6 points on my weight watchers daily intake. This Pat is 1/4 of my daily allowance!

♥♥ On the dinner plate ♥♥

It is rather hard to plan ahead like .I used to. I track my food on the weight watcher site and by suppertime I can only eat what points  have left. I rather like that because by super time.I’m usually not very hungry I eat very little which is actually a good life habit. Instead of planning a heavy dinner, .I usually eat a veg plate or a fruit salad.

♥♥ What I'm wearing ♥♥ 

I decided to wear my pink polo house dress today, but I may need a sweater before too long!

♥♥ On my reading pile ♥♥

Chapters from II Samuel,  11Corinthians, Ezekiel, Psalms

♥♥On my TV this week ♥ ♥ 
When Calls the Heart, home and cooking shows, and YouTube videos.

♥♥ Looking around the house ♥♥ 

My little corner here in the den needs a pick up.  From this corner I track my food, write in my journal, do a bit if sketching. Read my daily Bible assignments, look through catalogues, change one purse to another, watch tv, drink my coffee, and I  see bits of evidence to prove all of this all around me!

I really am enjoying my yellow roses my sweetheart brought me this time last week to help me recuperate. In the background are some dried roses from earlier in September. I do love dried roses, too!
