- Sitting in the sun at a bus stop, reading
- finding a great deal on a hot yoga towel ($20, instead of the $65 that Lulu Lemon charges)
- Taking a hot flow yoga class this afternoon that kicked my butt (in a good way)
- a salad with blue cheese, chicken, pecans, dried cranberries, and other tasty bits
- finishing off my evening curled up with a book and a Kit Kat bar

Daily 5 - Year 3, Day 7
Today's Daily 5:
- Wearing several new pieces of comfortable (and cute!) clothing
- the smell of freshly cut sweet peas in a vase
- listening to podcasts while gardening (in this case Chuck Colson and his daughter Emily Colson, speaking at Willow Creek church about her autistic son, while picking green beans)
- green beans and chicken
- audio books
- empathetic friends
- a very productive evening at home
- cell phone games
- colored pens
- fuzzy peach slices to eat while reading (love me some candy)
You Ask, I Answer, Take 19
Today's You Ask, I Answer question comes from Johanna again. She asked:
This is a question that makes me smile. I dream of writing a book, and I actually plan to one day, even if it's only for me.
Most likely I'd write a book of essays and stories from real life. A memoir/essay style combination. Maybe throw in some poetry or photographs or song lyrics that have spoken deeply to me. These are the kinds of books that I love to read, and it's most likely what I'd write. A story of God's work in the day to day moments of life, of God's sense of humor, of the moments in which I've come to know Him, and that ways that knowing Him has changed my life.
My favorite books are the ones that somehow meld story and truth, so that you don't feel preached at, and yet, you find, when you set the book aside, that your life has been changed and shaped because you read it, because of the truths it contains. That's the kind of book that I'd love to write someday.
If you could write a book, what kind of book would it be?
