FOR TODAY

FOR TODAY

Outside my window the sun is shining.

I am thinking if only I did not have to work today.

I am thankful that my son has found employment.

From the kitchen dishes that need washing and dinner to organise.

I am wearing a black blouse and skirt.

I am creating another quilt.

I am going to wash the floors and check my emails.

I am reading The Girl who played with Fire still, getting very very interesting.

I am hoping that my daughters first day at Uni is fun.

I am hearing silence, as everyone has left for work, school and Uni.

Around the house fabric, fabric, fabric.

One of my favorite things is having a coffee on the balcony.

A few plans for the rest of the week work, shopping and some sewing.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing

PENCILS PENCILS PENCILS

These pictures were sent to me via email and I just had to share, can you guess what they are made of, yes, pencils, how clever is that......someone with a whole lot of skill and time carefully made these. I have trouble just trying to get a few playing cards stand on end, never mind a bunch of pencils rolling everywhere.




These are just a few, check back from time to time to see the rest.

WORDS OF WISDOM

If you do your best today
then you will have the
best day possible

WORDS OF WISDOM

An old Cherokee chief is teaching has gandson about life.

'A terrible fight is going on inside me.
The same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person too.
It is a fight between two wolves.
The first wolf speaks to me of evil, anger, guilt, shame, envy, resentment, self pity, dishonesty, self doubt and ego.
The other wolf speaks to me of good, joy peace, love, serenity, self confidence, courage, kindness, humility, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.'

Wide eyed the young boy thought about this, then asked his grandfather: 'But which wolf will win?'

The old chief simply replied

'The one I feed."
