A soft breeze is blowing the trees around and the leaves are falling gently to the ground. The sky is a picture perfect baby blue and the warm sun is shining down on our home, almost smiling on us. It's a beautiful day. I was able to get up early this morning. I have been having trouble getting up early and had determined to get up early today. I know the Lord helped me. I was up half the night, tossing and turning. I haven't felt well and this morning seems to be the worst of it. It seems to be a mild flu bug. My dd woke up this morning and said her tummy hurt her. Shortly afterward, she was sick. We've got her on the loveseat, laying down and watching cartoons. She said her tummy still hurts, but not as bad. Hopefully, she's gone through the worst of it. It looks like we will not be doing school today. We will probably read more in our book, Prince Caspian. I've been reading to the kids and we chose the Chronicles of Narnia as our read-aloud book for now. I love reading to them and they sit quietly listening and absorbing our latest selection. It's peaceful when we read aloud. Somewhere along the line, in our society, we have lost the art of stillness. We have lost the ability to be still and quiet before the Lord. We have almost lost the ability to soak up the quiet and let the Lord replenish our spirits as He gently speaks His Peace into us. It's a shame. I am anxious to start back on my embroidery. Since I am not feeling up to par today and my little one is not feeling the best, perhaps I'll embroidery a bit this afternoon. I love working with the floss and making something beautiful. It is my goal to finish my dd's pillowcases before Christmas. I hope to get it done quickly so she can use them before the holidays. There is much to be done before I can start working on the pillowcases though. I need to get going on laundry and the kitchen needs my attention. I want to get several things done today and I'm hoping my strength will hold out to do them. Well, I suppose things will not get done if I am online. I'm off to get laundry done and my kitchen cleaned a bit. I hope everyone has a good day!
