A quiet day

 

I am almost done with
the green scarf.
Fish is cooking in the oven
as today is a
fish day for St. Nicholas.
I ordered some more yarn got and
an email that it has shipped.
I am hoping that I will get it soon
so I can finish the
Easter Baby Blanket.
This book title got my attention today.
I am thinking that I need to get a library card soon.
I am on the last part of Everyday Saints
and am putting off reading it quickly
as I, as many others have said,
will be sad when it is done.
I am loving the blog community and
the new bloggers I am meeting through
Ginny's Yarn Along.
At the same time,
I am aware of needing to balance
my time a bit better
and read more, etc.
I have begun re-reading Courage to Pray
I am still tired but am able to do some things.
Now I just have to try not to over do it.
I think tomorrow I will seek to have an extra restful day,
as today was a bit tiring...
I know I am so blessed to be able to rest.
What is your day turning out to be like?

Bright Wednesday

Another way I decorated for the
Bright Season
is using this lovely table runner that
Mr. Husband's Grandmother made.
So lovely and festive! 

I put out the icon of
St. Nicholas, Raphael and Irene
on display as well as
they are commemorated on Bright Tuesday.
See here for a wonderful story of how
a young teenage boy was saved by them
after being severely injured on a motorbike accident.
My small icon of them is from the
Greek monastery Mr. Husband and I love in
Quebec. 

So glad for this beautiful embroidery from
Mr. Husband's Grandmother;
having things passed down to us is such a special thing.

We got this lovely Pascha card!

Mr. Husband stayed home today ~
there was a flash flood warning for this part of NJ earlier this AM;
sadly Mr. Husband woke up with a sinus cold
and we are drinking lots of water, teas and I made
chicken soup for lunch.

 

It was the easiest soup I've made
as I had been given the chicken broth by a
caring friend from church,
had the rice made already
and the chicken I cut up from the nice
meal Mr. Husband and I had at restaurant on
Bright Monday.

I am still really tired and am trying to rest up.
A dear friend sent me an email about when she had mono
and that it took time to get better
and reminded me to keep pacing myself and rest.

Pascha was such a wonderful time.
I miss it already!
Yet it is still bright week and that is so wonderful!
This blog has had so many wonderful
posts for Bright Week.

I am loving that we get to sing
Christ is Risen
for our prayers this week!
