moments of joy in the week

 


Happy Thursday, friends! I thought I'd share about some things that have have brought me joy during the mundane moments of the week. I hope you enjoy!

This week has felt much lighter at work. Whatever thing has been in the undercurrent there seems to have lifted, and things feel better...brighter, more hopeful. I love this feeling of lightness that I've sensed all week! Too many days of that heavy feeling really starts to take its toll.


The weather this week has been incredible! Tuesday literally felt like paradise: it was sunny, but in the mid seventies. Jonah even commented about it when I got home that afternoon.



The sunrises and sunsets have felt spectacular. 


I've been sucked into the show Love is Blind, thanks to Amy! I watched all of season nine (the US version) and have moved onto season ten. I feel like it's not all that often that I stay home and watch TV, but it's what I did last night. I skipped choir rehearsal and opted to stay in, instead. I came home and sat in a comfy recliner for an hour just to decompress, then I talked on the phone for a little while. Marilyn and I always have so much to talk about! 🤣 Then I talked to Jonah for a while. I tried to convince my three Memphis sons to have dinner with me, but none of them took me up on my offer; maybe the next time they will, or at least one of them. I ended up changing, having leftovers for dinner, and then planted myself in front of the TV and watched this show while I worked o blog stuff.


I have talked to my sister Lisa no less than a dozen times in the last week. She's helping me with the refinancing of my home to get it out of my ex-husband's name and into my own. I'm forever indebted to her many, many hours of work on my behalf. Not to mention that she was with me so much while I went through my divorce. I'm so close to all of my sisters! I am extremely fortunate to be able to say this. 


My co-worker Karen and I have laughed so much this week. It's been a tiny bit stressful because of state testing that's going on, but we've managed to laugh our way through it, and we're almost done! 


I've seen Chris once this week already; he came over Tuesday night and he's coming over again tonight. I can't wait to see him again! I always miss him when too many days go by without us seeing each other. This is a good problem to have, right? It is.


As I'm writing this, my niece is sending images of her baby girl that is still in utero! She had a 3D ultrasound yesterday, and the images are breathtaking. I am excited to see this newest addition over the summer! 


What are some moments of joy you've had this week? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading my blog today, friends. Love to all!
