FOR TODAY April 4, 2016
Outside my window… sunny. It was in the 70’s today and apparently is supposed to hit 90F on Wednesday.
I am thinking… about all I have to get done tomorrow housework-wise.
I am thankful… my friend Liz who entered the Carmelites today.
In the kitchen… I’m smelling my mom’s salmon and broccoli.
I am wearing… charcoal shirt from Old Navy and jeans from Kohl’s.
I am going… down to Gilroy tomorrow for a doctor’s appointment. I’m hoping my bloodwork isn’t too bad…
I am wondering… how the my parents’ meeting on Wednesday will go.
I am reading… Accidental Saints by Nadia Bolz-Weber if I remember to put my e-reader back in my purse.
I am hoping… some of the books I requested come into the library soon…
I am looking forward to… Morning Prayer and Bible study starting back up this week.
I am hearing… a fan. It’s kind of hot in here. We’re trying to figure out how to break it to Daniel that “warm spot” is not an option tonight.
A Daniel story for today… little boy was having lower G-I issues yesterday so we kept him home today. When the alarm went off for us to get up to go to my meeting this morning, kiddo was fast asleep and was very drowsy until we left! He was so adorable.
Around the house… oiling the wood on the doors and cleaning before the meeting on Wednesday. Fun fun fun.
One of my favorite things… air-conditioning. I’m wishing we had it.
A few plans for the rest of the week: cleaning, my doctor’s appointment tomorrow, knitting/crocheting group tomorrow, Morning Prayer/Bible study/choir on Thursday, and whatever else comes up.
A peek into my day… flowers in the garden.

Hi! I found your blog through Daybook. I’d love to know more about your friend’s journey on entering the Carmelites. I have a friend who is a lay Dominican, and another friend who’s sister is a religious, but I can’t remember the Order she is in. The flowers in your garden are gorgeous!
The short story is: she spent a lot of time at another convent some years ago, but it wasn’t for her. In the past few years she discerned again, and one day, she knew with clarity she had a vocation to the religious life! Because she grew up in a Carmelite parish, I think she knew this time that she definitely belonged with them – so she visited some Carmelites over the course of a year, and on the third or fourth convent (suggested to her by a priest friend, I believe) – something REALLY clicked! She applied shortly after and was accepted (last summer/fall) and entered right after the Easter Octave.
Hi there! Found you through Simple Woman Daybook. Love those flowers! Wish it was sunny here today, but it’s cloudy, windy, and cool. Things are looking up for later in the week, though.
I don’t think I have ever oiled the wood on the doors in my life! Am I supposed to be doing this?
No clue. Do you usually use Scott’s Liquid Gold or Pledge on your wood furniture? I think it’s kind of like that.
