April 2011 - Simple Woman's Daybook

Outside my window... Sunshine! ☼ Not a cloud in the sky...! :) Mild, slightly breezy, beautiful spring weather. ♥

I am thinking... Why did I start writing this while I'm making lunch? :)

I am thankful for... April sunshine! ♥

From the learning rooms... I miss it.

From the kitchen... Pasta and Swedish meatballs for lunch. :) Served with green peas and ketchup! :)

I am wearing... White/green tee with green 70s style flowerpattern and black capri sweats.

I am creating... an unfabulous lunch? ;P

I am going... nowhere. Not even forward at the mo, bu maybe that's ok...(?)

I am reading... 'Committed' by Elizabeth Gilbert.

I am hoping... We'll get our garden looking decent soon.

I am hearing... MisterMan and his friend C playing with lego, the meatballs frying in the pan and birds chirping outside.

Around the house... Sound of children enjoying ice cream. (yeah, lunch is already in them! ;))

One of my favorite things... Spring! ♥ Seasonwise it's 'only' beaten by Autumn.

A few plans for the rest of the week... The week is over tomorrow but its Little Miss's birthday next week (she'll be 4?!) so we'll be organising something for The Day as well as plan her 1st b-day party for friends next weekend. :)

Here is picture for thought I am sharing...

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
- Marianne Williamson
