For Today:  Monday,  January 14, 2019

Looking outside my window …  

Again thankful to live in a place where winter isn't ugly.

 

I am thinking... 

My brain is still being choked by mucus, so there's not much deep thought going on right now.

I am thankful...   

• ... to be on the mend.  I've had some kind of sinus/cold thing that had me down for the count.  I'm not 100% yet, but I'm back to work.
• ... that the maintenance crew at the apartment complex did such a good just clearing the snow and ice from the parking lot.  In the past, they haven't and there's a big difference.  Thanks, y'all.
• ... that I've finally taken down all my Christmas decorations.
• ... for lotion and Chapstick.
  

From the Workshop... Working on some baby items and painting projects.  More to come.

From Auntie's Test Kitchen:  Recently, I got back to the 2015 Blog  Challenge and completed letter Q.

I am reading...

• Unshakable:  365 Devotions for Finding Unwavering Strength in God's Word. by Christine Caine.  This is a year-long commitment, so I will not list it in every Daybook.
• Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.
• The War of Art by Steven Pressfield. 
• Come Before Winter and Share My Hope by Charles Swindoll

Books I've finished since my last Daybook:

• The Law of Happiness by Dr. Henry Cloud.  Please see my review here.
• Waiting for the Word by Malcolm Guite.  Please see my review here.

Favorite quote(s) of the week: 
 

"God took all the commands and laws and summarized them into two critical points:  love God and love others.  That's because His love in us heals and transforms us--and His love through us heals and transforms the world around us." - Christine Caine, Unshakeable (Devotional), p. 6

"All achievement--all earned riches--have their beginning in an idea." - Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich, Introduction.

"Waffles are just pancakes that went to college." - Grace Helbig, Not Too Deep podcast, 09/04/14.

I am looking forward to... 

• Completing unfinished projects and trying new ideas.
• Getting my new glasses.  It's been a while since I've had a new pair.
