 ~ ~ ~ ♥♥  As I look outside my window ♥♥ Cloudy and grey. It's been this way since Saturday and will continue being cold, rainy, and grey all week. It's rather discouraging but we do desperately need the rain.      ♥♥  Right now I am ♥♥   I am sitting at the kitchen table drinking my coffee. I will have to leave for work soon. I teach toddlers in a Montessori school.              ♥♥  Thinking and pondering ♥♥   I went to a new church on Sunday and I am thinking about how thirsty I am for the word of God in a worship setting. It's been a while since I have attended a church though I do read my bible regularly.          ♥♥ Listening to ♥♥ It's very quiet here at six in the morning.         ♥♥  How am I feeling ♥♥  I am feeling well. I wish I could motivate myself to get out for a morning walk but here I sit typing.          ♥♥  On the breakfast plate ♥♥  whole wheat cereal with oat milk, blueberries, and bananas. And coffee.               ♥♥   On the lunch plate ♥♥   sob

There are almost no pictures of me because it usually me behind the camera. I like this one even though you can't really see me.
