Simple Woman’s Daybook – January 25, 2010

FOR TODAY… from Pamela’s Daybook

Outside my window…the hard city streets tempered by gently falling snow.

I am thinking…that I’m enjoying getting back to blogging more although I’ll be easier on myself about it. No more pressure.

I am thankful for…a super fun weekend with my sister and her family, and my brothers. Good food, good company, good times.

I am wearing…brown dress shoes, medium brown slacks, a muted brown, green and cream colored top with a gothic design and a cream cardigan.

I am remembering…that I have financial obligations I must attend to.

I am going…to finally decide on a format for gratitude journaling this week.

I am currently reading…The Brutal Telling by Louise Penny. I have fallen in love with her writing and recommend her books to everyone.

I am hoping…and praying that my son get over the stomach flu/issues he’s been having.

On my mind…my beautiful friend Jane and the loss of her daughter. I wish I could make it all better for her.*

Noticing that…While I still love stylish clothes, comfort is becoming more important to me.

Pondering these words…“The fault is in the blamer. Spirit sees nothing to criticize.” ~ Rumi

From the kitchen…leftover spaghetti and giant, yummy meatballs from last night’s dinner. Add a little salad and some breadsticks and wa-la!

Around the house…I’m going to go through the papers, magazines and boxes sitting in front of my desk. It’s truly a ridiculous sight! I’m also on a mission to get through the laundry pile this week!

One of my favorite things…the soft, fluffy “stay at home” socks Santa brought me for Christmas.

The Next Chapter: Wreck This Journal

Yes!  The day has finally come to dig into Jamie Ridler’s The Next ChapterWreck This Journal

I confess, I found the book at the bookstore about a month ago and wanted to buy it then but new I wouldn’t be able to hold off starting it until June 5th.  I waited until last week to buy it and then put it out of my sight so I wouldn’t be tempted to open its pages and start playing.  During my initial perusal of the book at the bookstore, I found some pages I’m especially looking forward to and I can’t wait to see how others are wrecking their journals. 

I must also confess that the competitive and insecure side of me has me worried that when people post pictures of what they’ve done, I’ll feel that what I’ve done won’t measure up.  This is ridiculous, I know, because that is NOT what this journey is about but feelings of inadequacy tend to surface when I’m involved with a group.  We are all in this together, sharing our discoveries and joy and it is important to push away those nasty insecurities and just have fun. 

Okay, the confessions are out of the way and it’s time to boogie!  I do look forward to reading about your experiences with Wreck This Journal.  I’m sure it will be a blast!
