living seasonally…
I haven't felt like I was living much this past week. I've had a miserable head cold and felt quite awful. I think I am mending and looking forward to a much better week.
giving thanks for…
- husband's who cook and clean
- tart peach frozen yogurt to soothe a sore throat
- vitamin E ointment to moisturize dry skin
- God's answers to prayer
- humbling lessons in life
- online printables from creative moms
- clean folded laundry
- heated rice packs
- toddler talk
thinking deeply...
My deep thoughts this week were challenged in learning to accept what I've asked for in prayer. I find it much easier to give than to receive, but am humbled by blessings that have surrounded my spirit with a renewal of hope and faith.
turning pages…
I've been barely turning any pages being sick. I've thumbed through my Five in a Row manual and sniffled through one day of reading Madeline to Charlotte.establishing rhythm…
Nothing was normal this past week. We accomplished one day's worth of planned lessons and it was a holiday.
cultivating simplicity…
Nothing seemed simple this week and yet, I plainly was only doing simple. Resting and drinking fluids.
creating beauty…
I'm a sight for sore eyes with my raw, red nose and puffy eyes, but sleep is my comfort --I shall call it Beauty Sleep.
nurturing hearts…
I've learned to ask for what I needed instead of expecting it to happen. As I've asked, I've been blessed with special cooperation as I rested to meet the needs of my aching body.nurturing minds…
Sometimes its unschooling where children are left to explore and create on their own that tugs the heartstrings. We've had dot art pictures, cardboard frames, and simple sentences written that surprised a mom's heart to read. I watched a 6 year old sound out letters with a 2 year old repeating -- just darling!
nurturing senses….
The sense of smell was sadly at a stand still as my nose spent much of the time wrapped in a tissue. The flicker of a fireplace offered a little bit of heat as I shivered under a blanket. Snuggles and hugs were warmth to my soul and kept me recovering in love.nurturing hands…
Toddler hands rubbed my face as she sweetly asked, "you okay, mommy?" A tear stung my eyes as I whispered, "yes".
nurturing bodies…
Fresh oranges from my grandmother's tree offered the best tasting vitamin C.
tending the earth…
We had rain! Much need rain. I loved the sound of its pounding drops against the glass on the windows.
capturing time…
Time moved ever slowly during each day, while the nights went far too fast and mornings arrived with a startle. I wanted to stay in bed, but the time of day, urged me to get up despite the sickness calling me back to bed.

I barely did much this week, but after my hot, steamy shower I wanted to let my husband know that I was grateful . My simple 3 symbols to speak the words of my heart.
{project ♥ family 365-21: Reflections}
A symbolic capture of all the deep moments I spend reflecting upon the Father's plans.
{project ♥ family 365-22: He does dishes!}
Yes, he cooked a pot of curry over steamed rice and even did dishes, too!
3 in every way and everywhere we accept this with all gratitude.
