{Thursday's Quote - November 12}

"Feeling grateful or appreciative of someone or something in your life actually attracts more of the things that you appreciate and value into your life."

Northrup Christiane

{Thankful - November 11}

Earlier today, I read about sharing reasons why you are thankful each day starting now and continuing through Thanksgiving Day. I think the idea originally started on facebook, but I like the idea of updating the blog daily, so I will participate here also.  (Blogged HERE  and  HERE.)

Since today is Veteran's Day,  I'm thankful for Veterans (past & present) that bravely risk their lives for our freedom. THANK YOU!!

This morning, I had a dentist appointment.  I'm also thankful to be able to go to the dentist & get the care that I need for good oral health.  After our business closed a few years ago, we were without insurance, and I needed to have some fillings & extractions.  I can empathize with those without health care and the debate that is going on in our nation today.  I'm thankful today for health care (and taking care of those fillings and extractions...)
 

{For Today - November 10}

The Simple Woman's Daybook For  November 10

Outside my window. . .the sun is shining after a morning rain.

I am Thinking. . .about the many projects that I would like to complete for the holidays (baking, decorating, etc.)

I am thankful for. . .the moments that my husband and I get to share in the midst of a busy schedule.

I am wearing. . .grey t-shirt; grey sweats, pink hoodie, socks

I am remembering. . . how life was a few years ago. Life is much better today.

I am going. . .to start unpacking more boxes.

I am reading. . .Learning to See Creatively (by Bryan Peterson). I am learning about how to take better photos.

I am hoping. . . that I will have most of the boxes unpacked and the fall decor up in time for Thanksgiving.

On my mind. . .the discussion that Marc and I had about creating our own version of a 'bucket list'

Noticing that. . . I am out of sweet green tea matcha!

Pondering these words. . . from I Corinthians 13. Do I display that type of love?

From the Kitchen. . . homemade banana bread that we received as a gift.

Around the house. . . many things out of place because of the recent move.

One of my favorite things. . . to spend time reading.

From my picture journal. . .

{farmer's market}

 
We had good intentions to rise EARLY Saturday morning and go to the farmer's market.  We made it, but it was closer to closing time than opening.  Anyway, we were able to pick up a few items. 

Afterwards, we ate lunch and took a few photos in the park before heading home.

enchiladas -- YUMMY!

Oh how I love Your law!
