Happy Friday, friends! How was your week? Mine was good with some ups and downs, but this is all to be expected. I'll jump in with a few things from the week that are my favorite.
I'll start with an exciting one: I signed up for a night at my new church to learn about becoming a covenant member. I love it that much there, y'all. I can't picture myself going anywhere else, and even if I walk in alone each week, I'm perfectly okay with this. I'm so grateful for this! I feel like it's where the Lord wants me right now. You can be happy for me; it's something that makes me proud of myself. I am stronger than I ever give myself credit for, and I can keep on doing hard things.
These little lists that I keep and work on throughout the week at school are my favorite. This is what the students ask me about; I gladly share with them what I do and how it helps my attitude. I talked about this in
yesterday's post...you can click that link in case you missed out. And while I'm on that note, I wrote a bonus post as well.
Here's that one.
Going out to dinner last night with a couple of work friends was a favorite; so was this empty margarita that you see and also at a beautiful place. I broke my one drink rule and had a second margarita! It was that good.
My little M and I drew hearts this week at school; that is a favorite for us both! She loved mine and also went multicolor, but she did rainbow colors. I adore her!
Reading at lunch has been my favorite pastime this week. I also loved this quote on friendship at the beginning of the chapter.
It was not a favorite to hear that the beloved Dolly Parton had passed away. I loved this message that our principal sent out to us late Tuesday night. This was me wearing my pink to honor her on Thursday. I love that the majority of the staff showed out for this! It was so much fun doing this without the students knowing; one of them leaned over and asked me about it at lunch and i shrugged my shoulders in response. They don't have to know everything!
Getting cards in the mail is a favorite. I sat and read these all over again this week; I paid particularly close attention to the ones that mentioned scripture. I want to go back and write them down in my journal; I mentioned that I've been using my journal a lot lately at work. I think it helps me process my feelings and thoughts more than I could (or would) anywhere else.
This is such a great book! You know books are my favorite, and my collection is growing.
Monday morning's sunrise was my favorite. This picture does not do it justice!
Seeing a big dog pretend to be little will always be a favorite.
Marilyn took this at my house this week; the way they're all looking at me is my favorite!
My friend gave this to me this week; it's my new favorite thing! I love the verses that are on the outside.
What was a favorite of yours from this week? I'd love to hear from you! Here are my other blog posts from this week...
And tomorrow I'll see you back here for Share 4 Somethings. Love to all!
That is such a sweet tribute to Dolly! You have an amazing stack of cards there and I love that you reread them to give you comfort.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was too! Isn't that a great stack? I just keep them out on my table; my sons have gone through them and read them all as well.
DeleteOH my gosh the dogs? They LOVE their Mama- so precious! What a great week full of JOY- don't blame you on the margaritas girrrlll ;)
ReplyDeleteAren't they sweet? They know who feeds them each morning! It was a great week, and yes...the joy is coming back. I hope you enjoy the weekend!
DeleteYou had so many glimmers this week while you are healing. There's so much to be thankful for. You still have a beautiful life. I love the idea of having things out that bring you joy and comfort. As I am decluttering, I am thinking that I want each piece that stays to be useful or meaningful, you know? What is in our line of sight really affect us. I am excited to hear how you will spend your weekend and I hope you have healing alone time, do something fun, connect with someone, rest, restore, and relax.
