*** Right now I am ***
Eating my breakfast at the dinner table, and working on this post.
*** Thinking and pondering ***
I was a bit bad this weekend, especially yesterday, I had two slices of pizza and a lemon bar. But in my defense I am good every other day and have been for months. I do tend to be a bit hard on myself and feel guilty for doing it, so I'm trying to remember that it's a one day thing, and that we just go right back to watching what we eat, and it's fine. We really can be our biggest critics, can't we?
*** How I am feeling ***
Honestly? Gross.....carbs don't do well with me anymore and I'm feeling it.
*** On the breakfast plate ***
Coffee with milk, and 2 scrambled eggs with spinach, onion and tomato. *** On the lunch plate ***
Chickpea Salad with Tuna.
*** On the dinner plate ***

*** Looking around the house ***
With all the rain my poor carpets need constant cleaning, which is also not good for them. I've been spot cleaning as I go, but today I really need to get the carpet cleaner going.
The house right now is quite dark for this time of the day, because it's cloudy and we're expecting storms.

*** From the camera ***
My sweet girl got me some really cute gifts for Mother's Day, among them the cutest coffee mug that says Crazy Chicken Lady with a ton of cute chickens on. I did use it already this morning and it's in the sink, so will take a photo another time to show you. But, something else she gave me is something I've been wanting for a long time. A Turkish Tea glass and saucer set, the teapot and the Turkish Tea. I am so excited to try it this afternoon.

Let me be acutely attuned to Your Word, so that each decision I have to make will be in Your will, almighty God.
