Outlook
Church was a wonderful, spiritual experience today. I thought it would be weird, since I was alone. No, My Father was taking me by the hand and sitting beside me today. I barely coughed at all, though I could not sing. It's wonderful to be alive and well.
On my mind
the beauty of my little piece of earth
Keeping a Home
Pantry Principle area 4-I love how easy it is to keep a well-kept house with this rotational plan. Need to restock the soaps, cleaning supplies, and facial tissue. I'd like to get a supply of open pollinated seeds for our storage, too.
Deliciousness
Turkish Red Lentil Soup, Spinach Salad, Bread Sticks, and Berry-Green Smoothie--nearly done with my new cookbook. Now I've got to take pictures of everything. It's going to look fantastic with amazingly delicious recipes.
Toward Real Education
I started a new class this week on herbal preparations. I get to design a new herbal formula, which I'm giving lots of thought. I have a lot of good ideas that I've narrowed down to the best possibility. This is a blast! The edu. masters program based on Montessori is so fantastic.Toward Rhythm and Beauty
Decided to get my homemaking journal (basically a planner) going again. I've going lots of directions and don't want to drop any balls.
Bee News
With all the rainy, chilly weather, they aren't flying too much right now.
Biblo Fix
I'm reading lots of old girly classics like Eight Cousins and Little Women for a writing project.
Appearance
I love this blue wool Nordstrom's suit that I thrifted last winter. Ooooooh, what a sweet deal. It
fits like a dream. Plus a white blouse and black Privo Mary-Janes--I've never been able to wear heels.
Scripture Meditations
"She...worketh willingly with her hands." Proverbs 31:13 I love to work in the dirt, to cook, to sew, to clean my home, and to fold fresh laundry. I love my job and thank God that I'm a woman.
Praying For
This week our grandone of the week is the most gentlemanly King Cole. He is a wonderful, kind, teachable, merry young soul. I pray for his health and safety, his ability to be guided by God, and his desire to be a good brother and son. I pray that his parents will be inspired to know just how to channel his delightful energy.
What's Coming
Herb Walk and lots of new flowers for the blue bee garden to plant.
New work with my Relief Society calling, which I'm really looking forward to doing. Taking a class on the new family history web resources.
Commitment to Loveliness
Plans to make a new batch of cloth napkins. I absolutely love using cloth over paper. I think I'll edge them with a blanket stitch.
Simple Pleasure
Teaching youth...feeding youth...talking with youth...laughing with youth...feeling the energy of youth...Images From My Life
Cosmos in my dooryard garden...lovely

Reading the scriptures and keeping this journal are my delight. I do not keep an online journal to preach to anyone but myself. I like this format, because I can add pictures and correct my writing easier. If you enjoy reading it, I am happy. If you feel offended, please, realize it is not my intention to offend but to teach myself. No negative comments will not be published.
