I’ve decided to copy Lisa’s monthly status report again. Who knows? Maybe I’ll make it a regular thing.
Sitting
…on the sofa in the livingroom, listening to the quiet and looking at the dark.
Drinking
…coffee, black, French-pressed. I broke my drip coffee maker a few weeks ago and I’ve decided not to replace it.
Thinking
…about the day ahead. So many plans, so little time. And so many anticipated interruptions.
Loving
…cuddling the warm pup as he lies beside me.
Anticipating
…warmer weather. I’ve become a weather wimp in my old age.
Dreading
…January. It used to be my favorite month of the year, but I no longer find cold and dark so attractive.
Starting
…a little after-Christmas cleaning and rearranging. And a spending diet.
Reading
…The Reason for God by Tim Keller and Always Ready by Greg Bahnsen. Do you sense a theme?
Liking
…candles. Scented candles, floating candles, tea candles. They’re my way of cursing the darkness and lack of good fresh flowers in January.
Ordering
…nothing. See the bit about the spending diet above.
Nervous
…about nothing. Not much makes me nervous anymore. That’s one of the good things about getting older.
Planning
…to stay at home today to work on projects. I’ve had too much away-from-home lately.
Wondering
…if a pup could be any cuter than the one beside me. And if I really must leave the sofa.
