The Simple Woman's Daybook . . .

 

 

FOR TODAY, April 7th, 2020

Outside my window ...

Birds are singing, the sun is shining. Looks like we are in for another nice day. 

 

I am thinking ...

Had one of those days yesterday. I couldn't settle into anything. I just felt scatty and out of sorts all day. Normally one would go for a drive or some such.  Just had to get through it as best as I could. I am a pretty positive person, but it would be lying if I let you think I was positive all of the time. I am a normal human being and some days I am just in a funk. Then I did a facetime with my friend Lesley early in the evening and we had a few laughs. Just the ticket. We were both in our jim jams with messy hair, no make up, etc. Normal. Sometimes you just need a taste of normal.

 

I am thankful for ...

The ability and determination to move outside myself when inside myself is feeling blah . . .  

 

In the kitchen ... 

 

 

Tijuana Tacos.  Or how to make something delicious with next to nothing.  Ba da Bing!  Ba da Bang! 

On my "To Cook" list ... 

 

Sainsbury's Magazine.  Four Ingredient Flatbreads.  

Good to know ... 

  

Its Fitting.  What have we got now, but time  . . .   

 I am creating ... 

 

Heveskar on IG.  And there is a Japanese symbol pattern included.  I can't buy elastic anywhere.  Its like the new toilet paper. 

 

Pretty little bird in a bath, just for fun . . . .

  

No source, but a tree full of butterflies.  Pretty  . . . 

 

Red Ted Art.  Paper chicks.  

 

Hanki Corgi . . . ready for Easter.  

 I am reading ... 

 

Woman of Clay, by Linda Caddick

This vivid story of love triumphing over human weakness plunges you into a vibrant drama in 1st century Israel.

 "In her mind’s eye, she saw herself cowering as the blur of that first stone hurtled towards her, its keen edge cutting into the soft flesh of her neck. Then another, striking her on the temple with a head-splitting blow, stones slamming into her from every direction. She felt the terror of death and heard her own screams inside her head. “God, have mercy on me,” she whimpered."

Self-deception, passion, and turmoil threaten to destroy everything Shana holds dear, even her own life. Driven by a burning quest for happiness, she sacrifices the love of a good man to satisfy a need she can't identify, paying a high price for the legacy of her father's rejection.

A shocking face-to-face encounter with a controversial young rabbi reveals the truth. He claims her heart and gives his life in exchange, but still she must suffer the consequences of her choices. A cruel twist of fate presents her with a final test - her will or God's will? Love requires a sacrifice, but can all she has lost ever be restored?

From bestselling biblical fiction author Linda Caddick, this poignant account of a woman’s journey from brokenness to healing through redeeming love, provides an enlightening, true-to-life experience of history during the time of Jesus, that illustrates the bible in a new way.

I am really enjoying this.

Makes me smile ... 

  

Its all a matter of perspective  . . .

 *I am in competition with no one.

I have no desire to play the game

of being better than anyone.

I am simply trying to be better

than the person I was yesterday.

Corners of my kingdom ... 

 

Yesterday's sunshower as seen from my next door neighbours back garden.  Now you can see how long our back yards really are. 

 

And that's my daybook for this week!
