Daily 5 - Year 2, Day 313

Today's Daily 5:
  1. Another morning where I could allow myself to fall back asleep after waking painfully early and catch a bit of extra rest
  2. discovering that expected company was not in fact coming
  3. finishing the fairly large task of weeding the entire garden (today I worked for several hours while listening to an audio book.  it was a lovely solitary way to spend the afternoon)
  4. a hot shower after hours of cleaning and gardening, and the feeling of lovely lavender scented body butter on dry tired skin
  5. crawling into a bed with freshly washed sheets, smelling of fabric softener, and wearing freshly washed pajamas smelling the same

Quiet

Today is a day for quiet.

For cleaning, and for prayer.

For lifting some deep needs I've been made aware of to Jesus.

For thinking, and maybe journaling.

For pondering patterns.

For celebrating the joyful moments as well.

For gardening if it doesn't rain, and reading if it does.

But mostly for cleaning, and for praying.
