I'm currently...
Working on a new blog entry. I was using a Bible reading plan through the YouVersion app on my phone and found that several women had made comments about the entry for that day. It included a young lady who used an interesting format. I've decided that since I've always had trouble with the thought of "free forming" a blog, it might be a good idea to use her format. So I'm borrowing it from Laura's Louisville Life... and I might get daring and add some different headings in the future.
Listening to: Volume 5 of What's in the Bible. My 8 year old daughter, Aubrey, is watching it and lying on the couch. "Ishbosheth, Ishbosheth, nothing rhymes with Ishbosheth"... She covered herself up with the afghan my mother made and has asked me "Mom, do I look cozy?" (Of course - and cute, too!) She's also asking for chocolate milk which I'll have to take a moment to make in a bit here.
Planning: To write some Thank You notes that I've been both procrastinating about and also finding some lack of opportunity to get them done. The Thank You's are going to my family and one dear friend who were so wonderful to me on the occasion of my 50th birthday in July. I sure felt loved!!
Wishing: For some motivation to begin my necessary exercise program. I'm going back to physical therapy this week to try to do something (again) about my back pain. Also, the back specialist suggested that I start swimming and I have yet to get a membership anywhere to get that started.
Thinking about: My daughter, Renae, as she is almost finished with her summer of work in Chicago. It's hard to believe she'll be heading back to school in just a few weeks. It was so great seeing her this summer on our annual mid-west trek.
Craving: Iced coffee - Decaf French Roast, to be specific.
Looking forward to: 1) Getting past this week - (see previous entry about physical therapy and) on Wednesday or Thursday I have to get two crowns on my teeth. Reaching 50 has it's downsides as I guess I've just worn out some of my teeth. I already have one crown - this will make three FAKE teeth in my mouth. Hope it will end there, but I suspect not. It's so great that they have those sealants that kids can get these days. I think my kids each have one or two fillings in their mouths... My mouth is full of them and now my teeth are falling apart!
2) An evening out with Steve a little later. Aubrey got an invitation to go out to eat with a family from church who has a boy about a year younger than her. They get along so well. The family also has an older daughter who will be at a birthday party this evening and they offered to have Aubrey with them as they go out with their son. So we'll get to use our Olive Garden gift card that was given to us for our anniversary in April by Steve's parents. Mushroom Ravioli - here I come!
Working on: Three areas of discipline in my life: Eating better, exercising (reference to swimming), and spending time in the Word of God. After church today, I spoke with an older lady friend about working on these three disciplines and she said she would pray for me regarding that! So great to have other women in the body of Christ who will do that for me.
Reading: I'm going to start using a devotional reading plan by John Piper through YouVersion. I have no doubt it will be challenging.
Feeling: A little apprehensive about writing a blog. I'm not really a writer and usually have a great need for approval. So I'll probably write it and not do anything to promote it so that I don't have to "share" it or receive feedback in any way. That's just easiest - and way less pressure!
Making me happy: Aubrey is such an enjoyable child! So thankful for her and the relationship that we can have even when she is 42 years younger than me! :)
Now on to the Thank You Notes... then I'll try to do a few light housekeeping chores so that we don't start this busy week with absolutely no advance organization. Oh, and time to make that iced coffee and chocolate milk! Yum - for both of us!
