Catholic Woman's Almanac

My brain is always a bit mushy on Monday after the weekend and I'm suppose to be jumping back into lesson plans and school.
The coffee helps, but I thought I may as well also join the ladies at Suscipio for {CWA} as well.


Gratitude::
- Healthy children, healthy family
-A small handful of friends who encourage and inspire me

Listening To::
-The two year old singing and contentedly playing by herself.

Pondering::
-Pope Benedict and what he must feel like in these last days as Pope. Is he by himself praying quietly? Is he hoping that we are all praying for him? I wish I could give him a big hug and tell him 'thank you'.

Creating::
-Menu plans. One of my favorite things, but it takes time since I plan for a couple weeks worth of suppers.

Praying::
-For Patience

Words on my Heart::
'To run the race of Catholic motherhood, we need to strengthen ourselves emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Part of this means building our stamina through fitness, exercise, good nutrition, and proper sleep.' (A Book of Saints for Catholic Moms, page 41)

Reading::
-The Four Signs of a Dynamic Catholic by Matthew Kelly
-A Book of Saints for Catholic Moms by Lisa Hendey


Web Favorites From Last Week::
-Crosses And Simons
- Keeping up with Blogging


Captured::
-Lovely, silly girls
