Good morning everyone, welcome back to my little corner.
Started my day with my mammogram test results, and thankfully all is good, praise God. If you haven't yet done yours, please do it, I know it's scary but we need to take care of our health especially as we get older.
It is a beautiful morning here in Texas. We've had some rain this weekend, but temperatures are going to start rising, and I am not looking forward to that hahahah So, I'll put it out of my mind for now.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and I wish you a very blessed week ahead.
*** The Weather ***
We are entering the time of higher temperatures. Anyone else stop liking summer as they got older? I used to love summer and the heat, but the past few years I have grown to dislike it immensely and pray for it to come and go fast so that I can get on with Fall.

*** Right now I am ***
At my desk. I just got my breakfast, and am working on this post while listening to a sermon the tv.
*** Thinking and pondering ***
My Jasmine is having eye surgery on the 18th of June. I am a little anxious about it, not because I am worried anything will go wrong, but eye stuff bothers me. She desperately needs it though. She is having ICL (Implantable Collamer Lens) surgery. Her ophthalmologist suggested normal lasik because her eye sight is so bad, but when she went for the exam in Dallas, they told her she can't do normal lasik because her cornea is paper thin. So they're doing the ICL.
If any of you have had it done or know anyone who has, please let me know.
*** How I am feeling ***
I'm
feeling good though a little tired, had family over yesterday and
didn't get to bed until after 10pm which is really late for me. I am a
girl who by 830pm is fast asleep.
I am also a bit sore from the gym work out and my stomach is a little
off, due to the dark chocolate that I indulged in for a few days, last
week. Will I ever learn? No, I don't believe so. Darn chocolate
temptation!
*** On the breakfast plate ***

*** What I am creating ***
Grabbing my blanket today, I really need to get on with it and have missed it.

*** From the camera ***
I used to hate my bedroom wall color, and didn't enjoy being in the room much at all. Since painting it this gorgeous Olive color, I am in love with how it looks.
*** Devotional, Prayers, Bible Verses ***
Punishing the Darkness was a fantastic book and I highly recommend it.
This week I am concentrating my prayers on my daughter's upcoming surgery.
Praying for our country, as always.
Praying for the continued instability all over the world, that it calms down, that it stills, that it stops, that people learn to get along and live their lives peacefully.

Good morning dear Sandra! I will certainly be keeping Jasmine in my prayers! I don't care how far we've come in technology, eye stuff IS scary though I'm sure she will be fine! Some of the best doctors in the country are in Texas. And wonderful news about your mammo results. I love that new olive color! Have a wonderful week!
Dearest Sandra,
I'm so glad to read that your mammogram result is negative, I'm a quite anxious person too and do understand such feelings!
You know, I also don't like summer as I did when I was a teenager: now I hate the heat.
But I have to say, however, that here in Northern Italy a few decades ago the temperatures were milder than they are now, so I loved going to the seaside and sunbathing. Now I prefer to go out at the end of the day, end enjoying the breeze of the evening, if I can.
With sincere thankfulness for hosting,
I wish you too a most lovely day and new week
XO Daniela
