For today...October 17th

To participate in the Daybooks, head to the blog!

Outside my window...the sun is going down and it's getting chilly!

I am wearing...jeans and a long sleeve tee shirt. might have to get a scarf when I head out to pick up my hubby from work!

I am thinking... about my up coming trip to South Carolina. I'm glad I get to see my family for a bit! It's the airport and the flying alone before I get there that is getting to me!

I am thankful for...my wonderful, loving, sweeter-than-honey hubby. We just celebrated our second wedding anniversary on October 11th! The best 2 years of my life, and I can't wait to see what the future brings!

From the kitchen...well, I'm making cookies. I shouldn't be, because I eat them...yet they are baking as we speak!

I am creating...I finally got around to making the fall memorials for my mom's headstone today. Yeah, I'd rather it not be memorials, but it was really nice to get back to my flowers again!

I am reading...Healing Mind, Healthy Woman: using the Mind-Body Connection to Manage Stress and Take Control of Your Life by Alice D. Domar, Ph.D, and Henry Dreher. I just got 49 books at the local library sale though, so who knows what's next! Gotta love the bag sale! I got all those books for $3!!! 

From the learning rooms...I'm still learning to take life one day at a time.

I am hoping... that I am making a difference! 

I am hearing...the tv. I love America's Funniest Home Videos!

I am going...to remember that I am one person and I just can't please everyone at the same time. 

Around the house...the laundry is folded, but not put away. The dishes are washed, but not put away...I think there's a pattern developing here!

I am remembering...well, trying to remember everything I need to write on my "Going on a Trip" list!

Quote to commit to memory... “Thousands of candles can be lit from a single, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.” -Buddha

A few plans for the week...gotta mail this package, make sure all the things for my trip are in order. Getting close now!

One of my favorite things...warm homemade chocolate chip cookies and a coffee.

Photo for Thought... this is our first full autumn season here in PA and I am just loving the fall weather! The leaves are just gorgeous here...so I took a stroll and shot some pictures around North East. I hope your fall is beautiful where ever you are!
