Today is January 5, 2009
Outside my window the early morning light reveals wet limbs and grass.
I am thinking of the weather and wondering if the forecast of freezing rain will be correct.
I am thankful for the gift of another day. I learned this past Saturday that my son-in-law's mother, who was only 4 months older than I, died in her home, alone. Rest in peace, Judy.
From the kitchen I smell fresh-brewed coffee, and am ready for my first cup of the day.
I am wearing flannel pajamas with blue frogs printed all over, and fuzzy slippers.
I am going to work in the church office later this morning... if the streets are not icy.
I am reading Cheating at Solitaire by Jane Haddam.
I am hoping the weather permits me to get to the doctor's office this afternoon to pick up new written prescriptions.
I am hearing thunder, the sound of rain on the roof, music from the windchimes hung outside my front door, and the neighbors' cars starting as they prepare to leave for work.
Around the house, there are daily chores waiting my attention.
One of my favorite things is checking for new posts on my most-visited blogs.
A few plans for the rest of the week include attending an Epiphany gift-exchange with a few close friends tomorrow evening (weather permitting), baby sitting my daughter's animals while she and her family are out of town for her mother-in-law's funeral, and baking a special cake for a special occasion.
Here is picture thought I am sharing:
