The Simple Woman's Daybook . . .

 

 

 

FOR TODAY, January 7th, 2020

Outside my window ...

Its dark, cold and dry. The birds are just beginning to wake up. 

 

I am thinking ... 

 

 

 

Its our Eileen's Birthday today.  She is turning 42. Its hard to believe that she is 42 already. That makes me feel so old. I can still remember how very excited I was when she was born, back in the day when you didn't know what you were having until you had the baby. I had wanted a little girl with brown eyes and blonde hair since I was a little girl myself. All my dreams came true. I hope that she has a truly lovely day. Happy Birthday Eileen!

A Thousand Roads Home, by Carmel Harrington

  

 'Where is home?’ DJ asked. 
‘Wherever the people you love are.’ Ruth replied. 

Single mother, Ruth, and her son, DJ, have never truly fitted in, but that didn’t matter, so long as they were together. When their home comes under threat, their quiet life will change forever.

DJ meets Tom, a man who ten years ago walked out of his house and never looked back. Ruth, DJ and Tom have all felt like outsiders. Burdened with grief and insecurities, they are not living their best lives. But together, these three ordinary people will do an extraordinary thing…

I have only just begun this book.
