Welcome to My Daybook Online Journal. A weekly post here at The Littlest Way where I gather all the ordinary things that happen or are happening in my day to day. Things like what I’m reading or listening to, eating, cleaning, and learning. These are the small moments that make up my blessed daily life and I want to remember them. My prompts may change depending on season and circumstance.
Thanking God for…

“During times of discouragement am I really just thirsty for God, do I need to reconnect with Him?”

Around the House…
Veronica just has some touch-up work to do…mine, not hers, she’s a great painter! We need to clean the garage and windows. The farm is greening up beautifully which means mowing has started.
Last week I linked to some muted rainbow pictures I was considering for the dining room. I went a different direction! I hung up some twinkly lights and clipped on pictures I printed from my phone with little clothespins. I love it!

In the Kitchen…
How many times do I say I need to use my crockpot more? All the time! There is nothing like the feeling of knowing in the morning you already have dinner started! And there is nothing at dinner like not having to rush around to start something!
Our grocery stores seem to slowly be getting back to a kind of normal. That being said, I sure do save money when Iuse the online grocery shopping option! It eliminates my impulse buying!

Self Care
Read my Bible, water, exercise, weekly conversation check-ins, diffusing, and using essential oils, rest, repeat…these are my essentials.
(I used to purchase my essential oils from Amazon or Edens Garden instead of a distributor. You can read my thoughts on why here, “Where I’m From…” I’ve since decided I don’t have the time or resources to properly educate myself on using the oils to their fullest potential. That’s why I signed up with Young Living under a former Family Practice Physician.)
The Littlest Way
Last week I shared a repost of a pretty vulnerable time a number of years ago but the fruit from that time was learning about the power of the Word of God. You can find that post here, The Truth About Me and Bible Quotes. I also designed a Bible Study Journal Template following the Alphabet Bible Study Method.

I see things moving ever so slowly back to ‘normalcy’. Like molasses, but it’s moving. Fingers crossed for being able to attend Mass soon! All the best, kellie
