Outside my window... bougainvillea in bright bloom.
I am thinking... about my to-do list, today and beyond.
I am thankful for... the crazy back & forth life I get to live between the United States and Mexico.
From the kitchen... (well, not MY kitchen. I'm mostly at the Isaiah 55 mission this month with spring break short term teams...) I am washing a lot of plastic cups and oatmeal nearly every morning, and loving the food our tremendous Tencha and Leti serve up every day.
I am wearing... capris and the Adventure shirt (NOTE! the Adventure shirt has been mishap free for a good long while now!)
I am creating... I painted walls today and scrubbed paint off of floors. Does that count?
I am going... home to Harlingen tomorrow! (for 26 hours, anyways!)
I am reading... Major Pettigrew's Last Stand and Dirty Glory right now.
I am hoping... my back is better soon and very soon.
I am hearing... sounds of Mexico, music and dogs and fans.
Around the house... I'm at the mission this week, so my "house" is home to 30ish people, a short-term team from Alabama and the Isaiah 55 staff. LIfe is busy and sometimes dirty and always dusty and always a blessing.
One of my favorite things... today a kid from the neighborhood walked into the house we are painting. I told him, "Bienvenidos a mi casa." He said, "¿En serio?" The look when I said, "Sí, en serio" was priceless. Playing Jenga with the girls tonight, watching the little guys make art, and then, sitting and nothing else at the end of the day.
A few plans for the rest of the week: home to see my girls and ESL and time with my favorite little guy and then back to Reynosa to finish the week.
