Outside My Window. . . a light snow is falling. It is so fine that it is difficult to see unless highlighted by a dark background. It appears to be persistent and will probably fall all day, leaving a measurable accumulation.

I am thinking. . . about making a short road trip this week, just to get out of town for a day. I need some new scenery. Today's snow may delay the trip.

I am thankful... that I can stay home today. Another volunteer wanted to work my shift at the hospital today. I got to sleep in on a snowy day, and I don't have to get out in the snow. Life is good.

In the kitchen... the ingredients for a pot of soup are on the counter. Snow days are perfect for making soup.

I am wearing... my robe and pajamas. I am being lazy this morning, remember.

I am creating... another Oddball blanket for the West Coast group from my stash. This one is blue and white stripes, using a seed block stitch.

I am planning... to start another within the next week or two.

I am reading... nothing at the moment. I just finished Forever Odd by Dean Koontz and plan to begin The Gingerbread Girl by King next.

I am praying... for patience.

I am hearing... the drone of an airplane, preparing for landing. I can almost tell time by their approach during the day.

One of my favorite things... a warm bubble bath, a good book, and a cup of tea to soak life's worries away.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week. . . a) send the support group newsletter, b) haircut

A quote worth sharing. . .

in two words - wait and hope”
