FOR TODAY JANUARY 24th
Outside my window
… SUN….and a few puffy clouds
I am thinking… That January has just flown by.
I am thankful for… For my office chair.  It is better than the one they gave me. 
From the kitchen… Not Sure-I’m leaving it to Craig this week!  Lucky woman I am.
I am wearing… Tweed Capris, Black Sweater and Tom’s Wedge Shoes
I am studying… My teenage daughter, trying to figure out life from her point of view. (scary)  
I am going… To walk everyday at lunch.  We are having spring like weather and I am going to enjoy it while it lasts.
I am reading… Always True – God’s 5 promises when life is hard – By James MacDonald
I am hoping… That the X-Rays I had give us some answers or rule out more things. 
I am hearing… Tons of birds singing.  They are having a blast in the warmer temperatures.
Around the house… I trying to get caught up on some letter writing, good old snail-mail correspondence.
One of my favorite things… Note Cards and Stationary
A few plans for the rest of the week… I am looking forward to a friend’s birthday dinner and lunch with another friend.
Here is picture for thought I am sharing… My Hometown – Santa Cruz

One Word 2011

Alece at Grit and Glory has set a challenge for her readers to pick a word. A word that will guide, define or move you throughout 2011. A word that will challenge you, make you think and motivate you.

I am joining the challenge.
I have picked my word.

perseverance
–noun
1. steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., esp. in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement.
2. Theology . continuance in a state of grace to the end, leading to eternal salvation.

I’m not sure if the idea is to share our word choice. I am going to so that I will have accountability. I want to be Persistent in my seeking of “Grace to the End”. I want to strive for Perseverance “In Spite of Difficulties”.

What is your word for 2011?
