October Daybook

Outside my screen door

The sun is rising, the air is still cool and I can hear the faint whispers of the ocean crashing.

I am listening to

The birds awakening. The dogs toenails clicking across the tile floors.


I am wearing

Red shorts and a college t-shirt I "borrowed" from my younger sister when I visited home...a long time ago. It turns out, it wasn't even hers. I am apparently advertising the college of an ex-boyfriend?

I am grateful

For the encouragement I needed to write. Well, I write every day. I'm grateful kind friends and near-strangers let me know it might just be worth sharing.

I am praying

For my kids. Everyone is either getting or getting over an uncomfortable tummy, head, throat bug.

I am reading
Too much at one time, as always. I'm going back to Scott Hahn's A Father's Promises. I find myself really longing to delve into the Bible right now.

On my Sansa Fuze
Last week I downloaded and started listening to http://www.thewordofpromise.com/ Bible. I used my Audible account credit. I am loving it. I've read a few debates on the fact it isn't a Catholic Bible. I think I can supplement those parts on my own. As a drama geek and bible lover I am really appreciating this format to absorb the Bible in a new way.

I am creating

A new blog. Fun. And a little scary.

And now the children are awake and I will leave my daybook here. It was a wonderful first start and I'm so excited to be here.
