I've rarely been called simple anything but I have a yearning for more simplicity in my life, the ability to be mindful and focus on what I'm doing at any given moment. Today when I was reading at H.D. Silversmith's blog and saw an entry to The Simple Woman's Daybook and decided to use the writing prompts too. I'm not sure how the original author will feel about a kink blog linking to her, but we'll see.

FOR TODAY
Outside my window all is dark and chilly.
I am thinking about my small neice and how fun it is to see her laugh.
I am thankful for my family, that I'll be teaching next semester, and for the medications that keep me sane-ish.
In the kitchen all is quiet. I wish there were cookies, but we're leaving town soon.
I am wearing jeans, a tee-shirt and turquiose Vans.
I am creating this blog post and basking in the glow of the Christmas tree.
I am going to Portland on Saturday.
I am wondering how much work it will be to move this blog and The Punishment Book to WordPress from TypePad.
I am reading Here Come Everybody.
I am hoping against hope that I end up with an interview for MLA. But I'm also at peace with the idea of going to the conference without one.
I am looking forward to giving myself over to Christmas.
I am hearing the heater and my fingers on the keys. It's all pretty quiet.
Around the house there's dust and clutter and Christmas lights.
I am pondering how many books to bring with me to Portland.
One of my favorite things is watching Doctor Who.
A few plans for the rest of the week: packing and flying to Portland. Enjoying time with my family.
Here is picture for thought I am sharing...
