~A Meme~ 

One of my favorite things is home.

Outside my window the sun is casting long shadows of blues and grays.

I am thinking that my foot hurts.  

From the kitchen I hear the radio and that noisy clock ticking.

I am wearing jeans, a turtleneck, a long sweater, and no shoes.

I am reading a biography of a missionary written by his wife. Sometimes we have no idea who lives in our midst.

I am hearing the furnace click off and now the blowers start up.

I am hoping that the economy will improve and that people will be able to stop stressing.

Around the room are deepening shadows and many memories.

I am going to start preparing supper.

I am creating a life, a story, and a table runner, not necessarily in that order.

I am thankful to God for this good life, for family to love, and a home to care for.

Here is a picture thought I love thinking about:

I found this meme at Cait's. Hers reads like poetry. You'll love it! As she encouraged her readers to try this, I also encourage you and let me know so I may read it.

A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body. ~Benjamin Franklin

Linking to Mary at Little Red House who is featuring "home" on her new Thursday Inspirations. Future Thursday Inspiration prompts:

February 14:  love
February 21:  white
February 28:  architecture

Have a wonderful Wednesday...


P.S. This meme is very similar to The Simple Woman's Daybook, though I see that some items have been left off. Even though I have known about the former, I never even gave it a thought reading Cait's Meme that it was the same. Probably because Cait turned hers into lovely poetry. Anyway, my sincere apologies to anyone who might have been offended. (I know that many of you do this on a weekly basis. I can't imagine ever doing it more than once so kudos to you!) I am linking to the Daybook without participating. I'm a quiet gal and can't handle too many parties.
