FOR TODAY July 2...
Outside my window... bright pink and white impatiens bordering my back yard and fern garden
I am thinking... I have so much to be grateful for.
I am thankful for... my husband, who generously just encouraged me to book a flight in September to the Berea Woman's Retreat and to spend time with my friend, Nancy, in NH
From the kitchen... tonight's dinner: Weight Watcher recipe Orange Beef with Snap Peas, and white rice
I am wearing... my workout clothes from this morning. I have been encouraged by the steady improvement I am seeing in my health after faithfully working out at Curves for the past month.
I am creating... a book proposal, actually two, to be presented at the Greater Philadelphia Christian Writer's Conference in August.
I am going... with my friend Beth to redecorate my sister-in-law's home office as a birthday gift. We are going down to her home tomorrow to draw up plans so I can do the grunt work while Beth is away on vacation.
I am reading... "The Sacred Ordinary" by Leigh McLeroy
I am hoping... I can lose 20 pounds by the writer's conference.
I am hearing... my baby grandson squack and shriek in the room down the hall. Nothing cuter than hearing those happy baby noises!
One of my favorite things... the way my dog's ears go back in pleasure when I walk into a room
Some random thoughts, from an ordinary day in the life of Julie Coleman!

this may be one of the most encouraging things you've posted yet.
I saw a picture of someone's house today. In the background on the wall read the words "Pause. Relax. Breathe." I thought, "what a great idea". This post is those words in action. I am encouraged to pause and be grateful and hopeful instead of being hurried and unsatisfied. There are so many beautiful sights, sounds, and ideas right here, right now, it's a shame to miss out just because there are things I want to get done now. Great work. :)
