CWA - Catholic Women's Almanac

Linking up with the ladies from Suscipio

Moments of Gratitude:
>better communication with Andrew
>finding peace during mass despite the heat
>my son repeating mama (he rarely says it)
>having quiet moments without interruption  to watch movies
>for the women on Suscipio, for lifting me up and inspiring me on a daily basis. This has brought so much into my life for the last few months.

Beauty in the Ordinary: 
My husband is a very quiet man and he is teaching me (he doesn't know it) about the beauty of silence.  I am trying to practice being more comfortable with silence.  I found beauty in his reflection.  He loves to sit in his chair and read and he reminds me to take time for myself in order to have more space for others.

I am seeing beauty through reading more about the saints.

From the Kitchen: 
Truthfully, it has been so so hot that I have not had much motivation to cook.  I did make an organic roast chicken and thought perhaps if I do that again I will do it in the fall.....we have no air conditioning.

Praying:
For my daughter who is on vacation with her grandparents.
For Andrew to find the job God wants him to have.
To come up with more motivation to serve others.  There is a walk for Haiti coming up with our church.  I would like to feel confident enough to fundraise.

Pondering:
how to be more organized with a teething baby etc.

Reading: 
about nutrition and organic cooking and also still working on Where There is Love, There is God - Mother Theresa

Looking Ahead:
saving money for a vacation, thinking about my daughter starting kindergarten.

Have a wonderful blessed week.
