GOLD in the CLOUDS : SUNDAY DAYBOOK for NOVEMBER

It's the first Sunday of November so I'm doing a Daybook for today, 3 November.

Looking out my window... the sun is shining, the sky is blue, the leaves are golden yellow and red and quickly falling because the temps have dropped down to the mid-50s. Overall, it's a beautiful Autumn day.

I am thinking... about the sermon from the 9 AM service on Philippians 3: Religion or Reality? It was top notch! Lots to chew on.

I am thankful... that the space where my tooth was extracted is feeling less painful and I haven't needed meds since Friday morning.

One of my favorite things... Sipping from a steaming mug of fresh brewed coffee in the morning sunrise curled up on the family room couch reading from the Bible. Today I was in John 20 and 21 in preparation for the HW due in class on Wednesday.

am wearing... a thick chunky knit cropped crewneck dark brown sweater with a pair of khaki skinny jeans and brown socks with golden flowers and green leaves.....plus gold hoop earrings, my birthstone ring and my engagement/wedding rings. I wore above ankle boots to church.

I am creating...a google doc welcoming new members to my hiking group and explaining how I came up with the logo "SoulSteps) and why.

I am watching... with husband on Paramount +: the 3rd season of the Original Star Trek series. We are on episode 4. We watch one almost every evening since visiting the Star Trek museum this summer. On Netflix I am currently watching American Homecoming Season 3. I watch Netflix series' when I cook/bake or am folding laundry. I'm also watching the movie Family Man sometime later today.

I am reading... The Ice Princess (Fiction set in Sweden); Loving People who are Hard to Love (non-fiction for Bible study small group); Nothing to Prove (non-fiction for the Wed morning class I take) and reading from the book of Psalms as a morning devotional time.

I am listening to... Here I Am by Plumb on Spotify while I type this. Also, the very quiet hum of the dishwasher

In the garden... Garden? it's November in eastern New York haha so no garden BUT in my front flower bed, my tea roses are still blooming as is my smaller rose bush which has a few new orange blooms opening!

In the kitchen.. rolls are set out to rise for baking later; Autumn Squash soup and pumpkin seeds for a late lunch/early dinner later this afternoon plus Swedish Apple Pie.
