Happy Homemaker Monday - January 22nd, 2024

 

I am linking up with Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom for Happy Homemaker Monday

♥♥ The Weather ♥♥
We had the frigid cold last week and we've had a little bit of snow here and there.  We've got a few inches on the ground and more coming tomorrow.  BUT - we are heading back into the low 40s, so it will melt and be muddy and awful again.  BAH. 

 

♥♥ As I look outside my window ♥♥
  Right now it is pretty and white - just how it should be. 

 

♥♥ Right now I am ♥♥
Working although I'm not feeling well.  I think I may have caught whatever my dad has. 

♥♥ Thinking and pondering ♥♥

Really worried about my Dad. He tested negative for COVID but I'm asking him to take a second test.  I'm also worried about another bout of pneumonia.

Still a mess 

♥♥ How am I feeling ♥♥
Overwhelmed. Exhausted. Run down.

♥♥ What I'm creating/studying/Pinning ♥♥

I finished first edits on my first book. I'm taking a little break before starting second edits and I'm working on book 2 in this series.  

I made a KanBan board for my Q1 goals over the weekend and a prayer board (really just a fold out in my planner) 

♥♥Praying for♥♥

My Dad first and foremost.  His poor lungs can't take anymore.  I'm beyond worried. 

The US.  There are so many news articles saying we are getting closer and closer to WWIII. 

Our military - especially those stationed in places under attack right now. 

All of the innocent people who are caught in the middle of war. 

All of God's people.  We need to be strong in our faith. 

♥♥  Devotional, Bible Verse ♥♥

Today I'm sharing a poem - or a verse of a poem from William Wordsworth - as it's how I'm feeling today. 

The world is too much with us; late and soon,

Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers;—

Little we see in Nature that is ours;

We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!

This Sea that bares her bosom to the moon;

The winds that will be howling at all hours,

And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers;

For this, for everything, we are out of tune;
