Outside my window... Finally the sun peeked out for a few minutes today. We have been having torrential rain from cyclone Tasha that has been lashing the QLD coast. The river is up in our town but it will not affect us, except that the roads will be cut. Still we have plenty of food and don't have to go anywhere.
I am thinking... that life is good, we have so much. I'm thinking of Chrissie too, we had a long chat on FB today.
I am thankful for... our home, our country town, the guidance that brought us here
From the kitchen... will finish the Christmas meat tonight.
I am wearing... A striped polo shirt and blue capri pants. I have to remember not to wear this shirt when I go for a haircut as the hairdresser says 'Where's Wally" when I walk in...LOL
I am creating... just some knitting for my Care and Share group
I am going... nowhere, isn't it nice when we have no commitments and can just relax or whatever.
I am reading... nothing special, I've finished my library books.... I may swap them tomorrow when things open again... yesterday and today, Monday and Tuesday are public holidays here.
I am hoping... nothing in particular
I am hearing... the local news on the TV, the floods, the progress of the Sydney Hobart Yacht race
Around the house... I've brought the pot plants back in, that I had outside for a drink of rainwater
One of my favorite things... ginger... to eat raw or to admire blooms on the plants. My Haleconia has dozens of blooms just now,(pic from online).

A few plans for the rest of the week: relaxing at home, then we do a New Years Eve concert on Friday.
Here is a picture I am sharing... I'll just download the pics of our river I took this morning.

MY GUIDING HAND
God be in my life every moment, every day....
Be the guiding hand of everything I do,
Be my hope and aspiration,
Be my joy and inspiration,
Let each part of life, the heart of life,
be you.
O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods. Psalm 63:1, 3, 5
