Laura Ingalls Wilder said " It's easy to have fun if you plan for it " which is so true, the joys can pass us by before we know it if we are not intentional about planning for them. Of course fun moments can happen anytime, but if we are too distracted or feeling discontented we can miss those golden blessings that come our way. We need to be deliberate about living life to the fullest !

If you have idea, memory, recipe, tip, tradition, things that you love ... leave me a comment. I would love to read about it ! Oh my ! I can't wait to read your ideas !

Hip Hip Hooray !!

A Perfect Day

I hope you woke up this morning with a big smile on your face

I hope the sun is shining just for you

and the birds are singing their very best songs ...

I hope your coffee is hot and tastes just right

and the cats are purring contentedly

and the mailman waves a cheery hello

and there are no bills in the mailbox ...

I hope just everything goes your way ...

I hope everything is well with your world ...

a place for everything and everything in its place ...

I hope you can enjoy all you do and you are

complimented on the way

you look and you can laugh

and talk and share to your heart's content

I hope you have all your wish for yourself and those dear to you

and all your dreams come true ...

The Simple Woman's Daybook

FOR TODAY ~ Tuesday, April 20, 2010

Around the House ... I have so much to do ! Bedroom floor to clean and vacuum, balcony to clean, bathroom to clean, laundry to do ... anything I missed ?

From the Kitchen ... I think I will have เส้นหมี่ผัดผักกระเฉด for lunch, ผัดพริกแกงหมู + แกงจืดฟักเขียวน่องไก่ for dinner and a big green salad. No dessert !

From the Learning Room ... I have definitely learned a few things over the last 10 years ~ A few of things I have learned along the way are ...

1. Buddha and Family should always be first in your life, no matter what.


2. Hug tightly, and often.


3. We cannot always chose our circumstances but we can chose our attitudes.


4. I have learned that forgiveness allows me to have peace in my life.


5. I have learned to feel gratitude for even the small things everyday. I have learned I am much more at peace by focusing on my blessing rather than what I do not have.


6. Money does make me happy sometimes.


7. Material luxuries are best enjoyed in small doses.


8. I have learned to listen with more empathy.

I am Creating ... A list of everything under the sun !

I am Going ... To start getting ready to go traveling for a week.

I am Hearing ... Birds singing ... and no dog barking.

I am Hoping ... The next year will be a wonderful year.

I am Reading ... Lots of information about Spa.

I am Thankful for ... Of course a wonderful Dad who tolerated me all these years !

I am Thinking ... You don't want to know. Trust me.

I am Wearing ... Nothing.

One of My Favorite Things ... Sitting in my living room having my Apricot Tea !

Outside my window ... The sky is blue. The birds are singing but I do not want to be a part of it !

Scripture I am Pondering ... I'm selfish impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes. I am out of control & at times hard to handle but if u can't handle me at my worst, then you absolutely don't deserve me at my best ...

A Few Plans for the Rest of the Week ... List, lists and more lists !
