Outside My Window. . . the world is dark except for my neighbor's outside light offering a glow of comfort.

I am thinking. . . about putting up a few decorations for Christmas. I don't have the desire to decorate a tree so maybe I'll bring out a few pieces of Christmas cheer.

I am thankful... for all the blessings the Lord has given me even though I do not deserve them.

In the kitchen... the tea pot is sizzling and releasing a stream of circling steam. It's time to prepare a cup.

I am wearing... a skirt and sweater

I am creating... some stitch markers for the ladies in my knitting group. It is fun to select the beads to match each person's taste, but I find twisting the wire to secure them difficult. I must be doing something wrong.

I am planning... the December newsletter for my support group.

I am reading... Vinegar Hill by A. Manette Ansay. The book seems so familiar to me like I have read it before, but I don't think I have. I wonder if I read an excerpt somewhere.

I am praying... that my sister and her husband have a safe journey home from Arizona.

I am hearing... the ticking of the clock over my right shoulder. I love my two regulator clocks. One is an antique that I purchased in Japan 20 years ago.

One of my favorite things... the porcelain wreath that sits in the center of my kitchen table during the season of Advent.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: a) haircut and b) lunch with two old friends.

Here is picture thought I am sharing...

while waiting is harder still..
