♥♥ How I am feeling ♥♥

I took this selfie while out for a walk this past week.

I am quite well. I completed a one week no cheat Trim Healthy Mama challenge this past week. I did cheat once. I visited a friend, and she served me a sandwich for lunch. Manners were more important than perfection. I also finished my 21 day salad a day challenge on Instagram. I'm slowing down on salads a bit because of a queasy stomach. I am feeling better now. My current challenge is no sugar until Thanksgiving Eve. Unfortunately, I may need to modify that a bit. My husband just asked for a double layer yellow cake with extra chocolate fudge frosting for his birthday accompanied by vanilla ice cream. I think I'll be having a small slice. ~smile~ 

♥♥ On my mind ♥♥ 

All the things I need to do before the holidays. 

Last year's Christmas tree
We don't decorate the tree until the Sunday after Thanksgiving.

 ♥♥ My breakfast ♥♥

Monday's breakfast is going to be an egg scramble with spinach, bacon bits, and cheese. That's an S for Satisfying on Trim Healthy Mama.

 

♥♥ Right now I am ♥♥

Sitting across from my husband. He's working on his computer. I've been answering emails, and soon, I'll be saying goodnight. It's Monday evening as I write.

♥♥ I'm wearing ♥♥

My black knit dress. It's so comfortable. I have a shawl around my shoulders to ward off the chill. I call it Reyna Rematch on Ravelry. My Ravelry name is HarvestLaneLaura. If you're on Ravelry, please comment and tell me your name. We can follow each other! 

 

♥♥ On my reading pile ♥♥ 

I'm still in the book of Hebrews by Paul the Apostle. I'm starting on chapter 12 this week. I am listening on Bible.com. That app has changed my life. I have read and listened to the Bible several times since I started using it almost ten years ago.

Home Sweet Tiny Home by Melody Carlson is on still on my bookshelf. I've been reading! Mrs. Carlson wrote A Christmas in the Alps that I reviewed earlier this year. 

The Debutant's Code by Erica Vetsch one of my favorite authors ~ I just downloaded this book to my Kindle Fire today. I haven't started it yet. I'd better! I've got to review it at the end of the month. I adore Mrs. Vetsch's books.

The Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian is my current Scribd audiobook. Get 2 months free by clicking my link.
