FOR TODAY: August 5, 2012

Outside my window... the grass is freshly cut, thanks to my son who is looking less like a little boy and more like a young man.  The deck is cluttered and the yard is clean.  I can see the sun peeking over the neighbor's fence warming up the dewy grass. 

I am thinking... I love being up first thing in the morning.  Whether I hop on my bike and meet my friend or just have a cup of coffee.  There is something so peaceful about watching the world wake up.  I do miss my coffee on the balcony in Orange Beach... actually, I miss the person I drank it with more.

I am thankful... for coffee and my friends.  And the time we share together.  I am sure that a cup tastes so much better when in the presence of those you love.

In the kitchen... the counters are messy because I went to bed early and no one else cares about the cleanliness quite the same as me.

I am wearing... capri leggings and a fuzzy hoodie.

I am creating...meal plans. I currently have 10 meals in the freezer ready to be warmed up for suppers!

I am going... to aim for 4-5 bike rides this week.

I am praying... about the choices I will make for the kids' school this fall. Such a big decision...

I am looking forward to...seeing my sweet sister this week.

Around the house...it looks like six people live here.  That's all.

I am pondering...Sarah.  I may (or may not) get into that later.  Just lots of thinking.

A favorite quote for today... 'Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there.' Matthew 19:14-15

One of my favorite things... the one hour I'm up before everyone else and have this time to myself.

A few plans for next week...clean and organize more of the house!

Have a great week.
