FOR TODAY, July 14th, 2026
OUTSIDE MY WINDOW ...
It is cloudy at the moment and should stay so all the day. The high should get up to about 28*C/63*F. They say as well it will get cooler towards the end of the week. Overall we have not had too bad a summer humidity-wise this year. I will never complain about that!
I AM THINKING ...
I had one of those nights last night. I don't think I really slept at all. I tossed and turned all night. I don't know why. I didn't have anything worrisome on my mind. I just couldn't tick over to into sleep land. I will be dragging my butt all day. I will not get much done to say the least. My cleaners are coming as well at 11 and I have been invited to a Birthday get-together next door for the neighbor lady across the way this afternoon.
I AM ALSO THINKING ...
Eileen has her gyna appointment this afternoon. I hope it all goes well.
Also the woman across the way has a BIG dog (not the birthday lady). She often leaves him out on the front landing/porch. She has a small gate, but yesterday I saw the dog jump the gate and go after an elderly lady who was walking on the sidewalk between the houses to the next street over. She had a grocery bag in her hands and the dog pulled it open with it's teeth. That was quite scary to watch and makes me a bit afraid to go out to check my mail, etc. if that dog is about. She did come out and get the dog away from the other lady, but still . . . very frightening.
I AM GRATEFUL FOR ...
Every night I give thanks to the Lord for my wee little home. It may not be the place I had envisioned myself ending up, but it was a true gift to me from God and where I needed to be. I am comfortable. I am safe. I can afford it. It provides a safe shelter for me and those whom I love whenever they need it.
I AM ALSO GRATEFUL FOR ...
Enough. I am enough. I have enough. I lack for nothing. I also give thanks for that each and every day.

SOMETHING THAT IS NICE ...
My son Doug and his family are coming this afternoon between 2 and 5 so I will get to see them before they leave to go home tomorrow. I hope I am awake! lol
SOMETHING ELSE THAT IS NICE ...
Fresh cherries. I love them.
Rebekah Smith. Simple eye candy, but I love the colours and love working with wool felt.
THE JOY OF SNOW, by Elizabeth Goudge
Childhood in the cathedral city of Wells, summer holidays in Guernsey, and reminiscences of Edwardian clothes, nannies and aunts mark this autobiography by the popular novelist and writer of children's book and short stories.
In her own words. “Old age, I find, is a time when you start doing all the things that in earlier years you reprobated in older people, and were certain you would never do yourself, and if there was one thing more than another that I was determined not to do, it was to write an autobiography. But I was asked to do it by a few friends of the type to whom one says, in the words of Philip Sidney, ‘Your desire to my heart is an absolute commandment.’ And so I obeyed. This book is an attempt to recapture happy memories, and only happy ones, and with them some of the joy in places and people that I have known, and share them. And to share too, some of the conclusions I have come to about work and life.”
I am looking forward to ...
Seeing my brother in August.
Dreaming about ...
From the front looking in . . .
A thought to carry with you ...
