For Today:  Monday, May 14 , 2018
 

Outside my window …   Have mercy, what HASN'T been outside the window?  Late April to early May has been the most schizophrenic weather experience I've had since moving here, and being from Alabama, that says something.  I kid you not, one day the weather was this:

Two days later it was this:

The next day it was this:

Then the thermostat clicked back to spring a couple of days later:

And today? We had a hailstorm.

Yep.

I am thinking... about what really is my place in this world. 

I am thankful...

• ...for God's willingness to keep showing me His love when I don't even feel loveable.
• ...for spring...maybe (fingers, legs, and eyes crossed).
• ...for a good GP who actually listens and communicates with her patients.
• ...that the effects of my Tetanus/Diphtheria shot have started wearing off.
• ...for my co-worker introducing me to Rhett & Link and Good Mythical Morning.  These boys are crazier than Rick and Bubba...and you've got to work hard to top those two!

 

 

From the Workshop... I'm still making changes to the blog.  Not being mobile has really impeded progress.  I've managed to finish a few projects:

 

"Pitcher of Sunshine." 8x10 and card

 

This one I painted for my kitchen.

 

From Auntie's Test Kitchen:  I've picked up the A-Z challenge I started back in 2015.  Letter I is here.

I am reading... I've gotten a lot of reading done since my last Daybook:

• Knowing God Intimately by Joyce Meyer.
• How Do You Kill 11 Million People by Andy Andrews

Books I’ve finished since my last Daybook

• Audacious by Beth Moore.  The review is here.
• Let's All Be Brave by Annie F. Downs.  The review is here.

• Word Made Art:  Lent by Heather Caliri.
• Act Like a Success, Think Like a Success by Steve Harvey.  The review is here.
• Fervent by Priscilla Shirer.  The review is here.

And one for the DNF (did not finish) pile:

The Smartest Book in the World by Greg Proops.  It's a shame.  He's so funny and witty, but his book was not.

I am learning...

• That anyone who claims to be a friend (Facebook or otherwise) but is happy over my struggles is no friend.
• I am learning that I to get new mini USB cords.  All of mine seem to be going bad all at once.
