For Today:     January 31                                                  

Looking out my window...we’ve been in a deep freeze! 

I am remembering...fun times with my kids on snowy days. 

I am going...to keep working on my book. I've been busy and gotten off track; I want to commit to at least 20 minutes a day.

I am hoping...Dan can get off Chemo soon; he's coming up on a year of treatment.

I like this picture Andi took of us at Christmastime. 

I am thinking...about how proud I am of my son, Charles! He recently got his associate's degree from a community college.

One of my favorite things...is celebrating the different milestones of my kids. 

I am thankful...for Charles, he is loved and respected by all. 

Around the house...I’ve been babysitting my grandson, Joey, two days a week now. 

Here's Dan playing on the floor with Joe.

I am creating...a beautiful, functional home. Dan bought some industrial pipe racks and hung the pots and pans in the room off the kitchen. It looks cool!

I am listening... to Brandon Lake, Matt Maher, Sidewalk Prophets, Matt Redman, and Rend Collective

I am reading...The Biblio Diet by Jordan Ruban and Josh Axe. 

I am learning...even more about nutrition. 

I am watching...the TV sitcom  Seinfeld again with Dan. We laugh so much! And last night we watched a funny movie called "The Crew ", we highly recommend it! 

In my kitchen…we found a good natural food store nearby.  They get fresh fish on Fridays, and we tried some this week- so good! 

A few plans for the rest of the week...organize the office and my closet.

  For Today: December 31,2025                                                  

Looking out my window...

there's lots of snow! My drive to work today was so long!

I am hoping...

to sign up at a local gym, or somewhere that I can exercise with others.

I am thinking...

about how fun it was to have the kids over for Christmas. We finally moved into our new home!!

One of my favorite things...

is exchanging gifts and Yankee Swaps.

I am thankful...

for these two!

I am creating...

a memoir. Andi and I have been encouraging each other to write weekly. 

I am listening to...

80's country music at work with Bev!

I am reading...

The Biblio Diet

Dan got it for me for Christmas, along with a new Bible that I wanted. 

I am learning...

more about the Bible, as I recently copied the Book of John by hand. I'm now working on copying the book of Matthew. 

I am watching...

Seinfeld again with Dan in the evenings before bed. We love it!

In my kitchen...

I'm doing the Whole30 eating plan again. It's a 30-day reset for healthy eating. I'm basically eating whole foods, and no sugar or bread. I'm on day 9 and so far so good!

A quote...

If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one.

A moment from 8 years ago...

I love this picture! I'm with my zumba instructor and friends at the YMCA.
