Autumn Equinox Daybook Entry

This is my own Cajun Cottage version of the Simple Woman's Daybook
Outside my Window

The window of my calendar says First Day of Autumn this week...the window of my house says Blue Skies and Summer Heat
I am thinking

Life is busy.
I am thankful for

A busy life.

From the schoolroom

School is going good...real good. Yay!
From the kitchen

Stuffed French Loaf
I am wearing

Blue jeans, brown sandals w/ white floral on top, white Sulphur Tor T-shirt, Indian turquoise/silver heart earrings

I am creating

Nothing really...but I am sharing some photography that Chelsea shot this past weekend at a Photography Workshop :-)
I am going

I am mercifully at home. In my living room. In my husband's recliner. I'm home.
I am reading

Come to the Table: A Celebration of Family Life
I am hoping

For an end to the recession and jobs for those families who need them.

I am hearing

The clacking of computer keys and Cartoon Network. We're chillin'.

I am praying

Anima Christi (St. Ignatius of Loyola ~ using the CD by Donna Cori Gibson)
Soul of Christ, sanctify me

Body of Christ, save me

Water from the side of Christ, wash me

Passion of Christ, strengthen me

Good Jesus, hear me

Within the wounds, shelter me

from turning away, keep me

From the evil one, protect me

At the hour of my death, call me

Into your presence lead me

to praise you with all your saints

Forever and ever.

Amen

Prayer for Generosity (St. Ignatius of Loyola)
Lord, teach me to be generous.

Teach me to serve you as you deserve;

to give and not to count the cost,

to fight and not to heed the wounds,

to toil and not to seek for rest,

to labor and not to ask for reward,

save that of knowing that I do your will.

Observing the Liturgical Calendar
