My Jan. 2020 Simple Woman’s Daybook

For Today: 1/6/20

_____________________________

Looking out my window

It’s cold but sunny outside. Our high for today is 51 degrees.

I am thinking

About doing some daily scripture writing from the book of James (for the next 4 weeks).

I am thankful

For the start of a New Year.

One of my favorite things

Settling down at the end of the day with a cup of hot herbal tea :)

I am creating

I’m still trying to get my bullet journal set up for this year. I usually have it finished by now, but I’m trying to do something new.

I am wearing

A striped shirt and maroon pants.

I am reading

I plan to read a chapter a day of James before doing my scripture writing.

I’m watching (want to watch)

I seriously need to catch up on my YouTube subscriptions (I only subscribe to a handful anyway). I haven’t watched videos since October.

I’ve been listening to

Old-school Kenny G songs with my hubby. He shared with our son how some of the songs are very special because he constantly listened to them when he first met me over 20 years ago :)

I am hoping

I finish setting up my household planner (along with my bullet journal) by the end of this week.

I am learning

To “Count It All Joy” no matter what kind of day I’m having.

In my kitchen

Today I cooked up a pot of Wild Rice as well as a pot of Red and White Quinoa that I soaked overnight. I plan to soak some beans tonight to cook and freeze tomorrow. If I get around to it, I'll cook up some grass-fed ground beef to have on hand to make some chili this week.

Post Script

One year on our Anniversary (our 20th) my hubby surprised me to dinner out at a Japanese Steakhouse. It was the first time I had been to one. On our son’s 18th birthday we took him to a Japanese Hibachi. It’s so much fun watching them prepare the food right before your eyes. Although we enjoy the experience, the food is pricey. In 2018 I tried making an At Home Hibachi dinner after watching someone do it on YouTube. It is much easier than I thought. Since then we have done it 3 times.
You can check out the post where I shared some pics of ours.

A moment from my day

For dinner tonight we ate homemade Chicken Noodle Soup.
We also had homemade sourdough bread (not pictured) toasted with Ghee.
