Mornings – yesterday and today

February 21, 2006 - Posted by danielle

Yesterday morning, I spent some time sitting in the sun and singing to music.

Mom actually took this picture of me today, but replace the laptop with my journal, and you can imagine about what I looked like yesterday.

Yesterday, I started off my music listening with Ginny Owens – Without Condition. Her music really speaks to me at a very deep, faith-based level. And better yet, we both have a similar range, so I can sing almost all of the songs without straining at all.

Next, I sang along to a compilation CD that we used for practicing when I was in the Praise Chorus at my church back in MA. I jotted down the titles of the songs and some of the lyrics in my journal.

I attached a beeded bookmark to my journal that I made as my craft project at my church’s Women’s Retreat a couple of years ago.

Thy word

I like how the rays of the sun shining through the beeds refracted and also created interesting shadows.

Jesus, lover of my soul

I am not quite up to full-blown storytelling yet, but I wanted to share some of the other pictures I’ve taken lately.

Mom gave me this angel and I hung it up in the window yesterday.

This morning, HB left before sunrise, and he looked pretty sharp and sexy with his blue shirt, red tie and matching cufflinks, chunky watch, and live strong bracelet.

And the sunrise this morning, was comforting.

Mom and I are going to go for a walk today, but right now, I’m enjoying the sun on my face and legs and am listening to Joshua Kadison’s album.

    My favorite part of that picture is that you have the laptop in one hand and you’re petting the Girlie-Girl with the other hand ;)

    Lover you,
    HB

    Yes, I’m lurking again! Your pix of sitting in the sun really speaks to me. Today in class (yes I’m in school again!) I moved in the middle of my dreadful lecture on mitosis to sit by the window, the sun was pouring in. It lifted my sprits and made me feel so good. Amazing what a little soaking up the sun will do for you. Hope you feel better D, I’ll be thinking about you.

    I really like those pictures. Especially the way the light goes through those beads. Hope everything’s going well for you.

    What nice photos. I’d like to transport myself into the first one – that’s pretty much how I spent my presidents day and it was wonderful! Also, I love seeing bloggers’ handwriting! Yours is quite nice.

    Hope you’re doing well, dear.

    Thank you everyone for your kind comments.

    I’m glad you are all out there. As you know, I haven’t been by anyone’s blogs lately and I hope to start to catch up.

    But the good news is that I went for a walk in the sun yesterday with my mom for 35 minutes. It felt really great to get some sun and exercise. :-)
