I love going to our local pottery place to paint on the pottery pieces there
... but I struggle with ideas on things to make.
But how cute is this? It would be so cute to make a plate every month & then at the holidays, you'd have a great gift for someone.
Favorite Home Design
I kinda love this shelf!!!!
Valentine Idea
Ahhhh - fun idea!!!
Favorite Beauty & the Beast
Someone suggested that this is perfect for a mother/daughter tattoo
I'd just do it for both arms & put them together :)
Favorite Rain Jacket
Spring showers are coming!!!!
Favorite Journal
Favorite Funny
... when I look in a mirror & know I havent seen The Greatest Showman yet
.... when I spend a weekend with thousands of middle schoolers during flu season
... when I found out basically everyone under 25 has no idea who Richard Simmons is
{numbers go with my 1000 gifts journal - just ignore}
88 / Coworker lunch.
I love my coworker walked in on Monday & as she walked past me said, "I need to talk - lets do lunch"... I love she needed someone to vent to & wanted me to be the ears that listened. Plus, we had a really good lunch together. I really am enjoying getting to know all my new friends at work.
Black bean veggie burger for lunch
89 / Ricky found a dentist.
Y'all know we've had some dentists in our day that have NOT been the best or have led us on a wild good chase with treatment. Well, with Ricky's tooth breaking last weekend, we are trying a new dentist that a lot of people have recommended. He goes to our church & I've not heard one bad thing about him... & Ricky really liked him. Could it be? Finally? A good dentist? Halleluia
94 / Work Hand sanitizer.
I so love that work sent out an email about the flu & the statistics on it - they ordered new soaps for the bathrooms & passed out individual hand sanitizers for everyone to take. THIS is my kinda work place.
95 / Meeting changed.
I had to leave work early on Friday for Believe & we had a Finance meeting where ALL of our branches would be linked in together. It was going to be right when I needed to leave & I hated the idea that I was going to have to get up in the middle of this & go.... but then it got rescheduled for another day - YAHOOOOOOO!!!! Whew! I dont have to be the new person who walks out of big meetings.
98 / Tired Ernie
Ernie is just a little tyrant lately. I have to get him into some sort of training class because he's just not listening to me. He will listen to Ricky but Ricky is hardly around. He leaves for work before I wake up at 5:30am & when he gets home, he's in bed usually around 7:30 or 8 so I have Ernie all night to myself... I have to get him to listen to me. Anyways - good things here - when he's tired, he's being really sweet - which he wasn't doing that when we first got him. But he's sweet with Harvey & even came over & laid his head on my leg. This is NOT Ernie behavior - so I'm thankful of glimpses that he could be a good dog - SOMEDAY.
99 / Off early.
Like I said, I had to leave work early on Friday. The cool thing? I didnt have to take any of my personal time. The firm closed early on New Years Eve but the Finance department had to stay in case of any late deposits for year end.... so we were able to take that time everyone else got off & save it to use in January. & I know, Friday was actually February 2, but my manager is amazing & so thoughtful. She told me I could save it for Believe. It worked out wonderfully 101 / Great Small Group
Our small group time was fantastic. I was worried it could be a little chaotic with so many people but these girls really are maturing so nicely & beautifully.
102 / Bed early at Believe
If you call the girls getting in bed at 1am early - I do - last year, it was a struggle to get them to stop talking. We had like 43 people in our room - NO JOKE - try & get 43 middle school girls from stopping giggling with that many people. YIKES... but this year, I told them twice to keep it down & by 1am - it was crickets. I couldnt believe it. So much that I couldnt sleep haha - it was too quiet. I didnt fall asleep until 2:30am - & the girls literally were out. No shenanigans - they really were in bed that easily. Kudos to them 103 / C-ALERT
So if you've been around here for awhile, you KNOW what food I detest... the breakfast food - & guess what they had out for breakfast on Saturday for Believe. Yep... all kinds of choices. All the lady leaders were like, STAY OUT - they brought me breakfast (Panera) to my room so I didnt have to go in. there.... & the cutest thing of all - so many of my MSM girls were like, "Rebecca - stay away from there - you cant handle it"... & they all stayed out in the hall way with me to hear the announcements for the day & then they all went around the back way so I didnt have to walk through the C-infested room. How cute are my girls?
108 / BELIEVE
I actually have so many break downs of things I'm grateful for at Believe - but I'll just sum it up with that. It was an amazing weekend with the girls - a fantastic message - great people to serve with - kids deciding to follow Jesus - it just doesnt get any better than weekends like that.
109 / Ernie OK
So while I was gone, I found out Ernie had some deodorant. Greaaaaat. Ricky tends to forget its like watching a baby - eyes on them at all time. Ricky said he was acting funny for awhile... but he just seemed to snap out of it & was ok. Geez.
111 / Home
It was heaven on Sunday to just stay at home in sweats & with my own coffee & finishing a book. They dont have MSM the day after Believe - & my sweet precious Joysters went ahead & pushed back our meet up for another week ... Sunday was just wonderful relaxing, reflecting & recharging.
So what good things happened in your world this week?
We're back to another month of Wellness Wednesday.
I loved last month & reading other's goals for the year ... & looking forward to seeing what this month's topic brings.
Favorite Cardio or Exercise & any tips
I am a cardio girl. Seriously - I've talked about this here before with my issues of struggle with other exercises that focus solely on weight lifting or 'calmer' exercises like yoga or Pilates. - which, before I upset all the calm yogi's in the world, I KNOW it sculpts a body& does amazing things for flexibility, but if I dont get my heart rate up to a high number & keep it there for a minimum of 30 minutes, I feel like its a useless workout.
I always say I blame my upbringing of Richard Simmons on his daily TV show (Anyone else remember that? - I'd totally do it in my basement with him) & because of the Jane Fonda era - leg warmers & all.
Proof this existed....
But I really do feel like, for MY body, I'm all about needing a fast pulse to get any results.
Saying that, I've never really lost any weight running. Ironic, huh?
The only thing I've ever really lost weight doing is the 21 Day Fix or back in the day, Jazzercise.
Now, those are a combo of cardio and weight lifting/toning.
I guess that's my jam. My sweet spot. The thing that gets real results.
Because like I said, I usually would GAIN weight training for races.... & I did the Hammer & Chisel program for 3 months & ended up with zero weight loss on that too. Granted, I did tone up, & I get muscle weights blah blah blah.... but I didnt feel any leaner.
I actually really miss my Jazzercise class & if there was one near me, I'd totally be back. The one I used to go to shut down & moved - it would take me nearly 30 minutes to get to a class now one way... & the time the class is isn't convenient for my schedule... so alas... no Jazzercise.
Same goes with cooking healthy dinners & Pinterest
& now, I'm frustrated that Beachbody is doing everything streaming anymore. I used to love to buy some of their work out sets but now, they really push that yearly subscription & dont sell the new plans on DVD - they want you to stream. I dont have a TV in my work out area where I can stream - & I'm not about to work out looking at small computer monitor or tablet. I've got 46 year old eyes - I dont want to work out with my glasses on.
My ultimate favorite exercise though is kickboxing. I guess it taps into my days of Kung-Fu where I grew up every Wednesday taking classes. & yeah, if you didnt know that fun fact, I got my black belt at 16 years old. Those moves just come natural to me - to kick & punch. It's like those kids that are raised to play any sport young - it becomes just natural moves to them. That's how kick boxing is to me.
It's also a good cardio work out & toning for those kicks & punches.
Beachbody had a program called Les Mills Combat that is my all time favorite. I think they quit dealing with that though - Beachbody, what are you doing to me lately?
But, truth be told - I did that whole 2 month program & never lost any weight either.... sigh....
I in fact did NOT get lean & shredded... but I had fun
& obviously, I do have a love/hate relationship with running - doing 8 (or 9? I forget) half marathons... I have discovered I enjoy the solitude of being on the road. It's mind clearing to me. I've also learned I'm not into races - the pressure of time & judged by others.... I'm actually going to do a post coming up soon on what happened to me a few weeks ago & why I'm really frustrated with running right now after being 'time shamed'... it's a thing - trust me.
So I guess what it all comes down to - just do what makes you happy. There is something for everyone. It's just moving your body - staying active - not letting time walk all over you while you're still. You gotta fight to keep a body in shape - & being in shape doesn't mean it has to LOOK a certain way. It's about FEELING good - its about not being breathless doing normal chores - its about being able to walk up steps with laundry baskets or run down the drive way to get your mail - or lifting groceries or carrying out dogs in the middle of the night to go potty. All the every day living things.
So find what works for you... do it a few times a week.... be kind to your body.... keep moving!!!
Know that it can change all the time too. What you love today, you may hate in a few months... & then love it again in a few years.
Just be open to what your body is asking you to do.
_______________________
UPDATE TIME... so my goal this year is dealing with Weight Watchers.
How is that going for me?
Well... OK, I guess. I'm down like 6 lbs (blah - I can gain that overnight so I dont feel like its a big deal) I'm struggling in the sense that I'm feeling a little lost with the program. I guess that's why they want you to come to meetings & not do it solely online - which I'm not paying & driving to go to meetings.
The points they give you aren't a lot for a day.- & I am glad you do get the extra points for the week - but I'm finding its about incorporating those free points. I just have some struggle with that I guess. Basically veggies, fruit, eggs & beans - all free foods. All good for dinner (my lentil soup I post on IG a lot - zero points) - its the snacks & eating out that's tough for me.
I need lunch ideas. I need things to take to work. I need to get snack & dessert ideas that aren't many points - that aren't SUGAR FREE. They really promote sugar-free items to save points - & I'm not about to load my body up with artificial sweeteners.
Everyone talks about a dessert you make with Greek yogurt & sugar free pudding. & I got the pudding & then seen it was made with aspartame. OH HECK NO - I truly believe that stuff is the stuff of the devil. I threw it away. I dont care if its zero points. My long term health is much more important than my scale number next week.
So - I'm still trying to learn about it....
& basically, its like my friend Nathalie told me - sounds like if I ate basically a good vegan/vegetarian diet, I'd be doing the points right... which is basically not even needing Weight Watchers. hmmm... I'm already signed up for another month anyways so we'll see if anything amazing kicks in for me...
This turned really long today... sorry... kinda ... not really - I can talk about this stuff all day long.
Anyways - here's to another month... & I'm still PRESSING ON!!!
Joining in with the awesome ladies at The Blended Blog for a Valentine's Edition
... feel free to join in for the fun!
1. Kisses or hugs?
I've always been a big 'hug' person. I'll give perfect strangers a hug. But of course, kisses are reserved for the ones you love the most. The hubs, my parents on cheeks & of course, my dogs - all over their sweet faces. Ahhh 2. Candy or flowers?
I feel like flowers are pretty & enjoyable & something you dont buy yourself often... but candy, you enjoy a lot more. My scale doesn't enjoy it though. I'll go with flowers on this for sake of health. 3. Baking or cooking?
I have been enjoying cooking lately. & its not so much that I'm better at it - I'm equally as good in both just because I dont know what I'm doing & follow the directions. I know there's some naturals out there that can whip things up on their own.... this question is more for those people. Me? Give me step by step ways to do it & I'm good with either. 4. Do you remember your first kiss?
Yep. All I'll say about that ... a girl doesnt kiss & tell, right?
actually, I cant even remember the guys name. haha... I can remember the dumb details about it - like what I was wearing, where I was at, running & telling my girlfriends - but not his name.These things happen when you get on the back side of 40 5. Favorite color of roses?
I always have loved white roses.... but its hard to find because you cant have white roses with the dead ends on them - they are so visible on a white rose. & they are just hard to find in general. It always drives Ricky nuts because he tries to get me white roses for special occasions & will come home with another color & say, "I tried man, I tried"
6. Conversation hearts - yes or no?
I like their taste... their hardness scares me with my janky & very breakable teeth
7. Do you leave love notes?
All the time - everywhere & for every one. I'm the person who leaves notes on mirrors in random places for people to see & take with them. 8. Do you decorate for Valentine's Day?
Not typically.... BUTTTTTTTTT - our tree is still up - in February. I told Ricky I was going to do it. He's like a whipped dog or something - he just said, "Go ahead"... I guess there are no future plans to take our tree down. I might as well go ahead & decorate it for Christmas so I'm ahead of the game.
this could actually happen
9. Red or Pink?
I used to hate pink. Loathe it. I really like it now. But I feel like red looks better on me for some reason. Ricky reminds me all the time red doesnt look good on redheads - I disagree though. 10. Milk, White or Dark Chocolate?
Who am I to deny any chocolate? But I do love me some dark chocolate probably a smidge better. 11. Do you believe in love at first sight?
Not really. Lust at first sight? Sure.... Can it happen, sure - but I think the odds are reallllllly slim. 12. Do you give Humorous or Serious Valentine's Cards?
I tend to rarely, RAREEEELY ever give a serious card for any event... unless its something tragic or sympathetic. I'm the person who loves to go to the funny card area in a store & read every one of them & laugh so loudly, Ricky has to walk away of embarrassment.
13. Favorite Chick Flick or Romantic Movie?
Y'all know I have to go with Beauty & the Beast - obvs...
but going outside the obvious... I'll go with Sweet Home Alabama... Reese Witherspoon is so dang cute in this. I think I can watch it every time its on.
14. Stay in or Go Out?
Used to be Go Out... the older I get, I'm all for the Stay in & be comfy version of life.
I will say, on Valentine's Day - if it falls on a weekend, we will go out... for breakfast. Just to beat the crowds & enjoy the holiday in our own unique way. I mean, who doesnt love an excuse for a good breakfast?
I have honestly lost count on how many I have been to over the years.
I bought a sweatshirt that said BELIEVE - Est 1997. Well, I was at Believe 1997 so there you go... I know I've been to other youth conferences before - I guess those weren't called Believe... see how I've lost count? All of that to say, I've been doing this for a LONG TIME.
It really freaks me out because I was thinking of that.... even if we just go back to the beginning of this. Those kids were anywhere from 11 to 14.... they are now 21 to 24.... OH MY GOSH. Adults themselves.
... & I'm still jamming it up with middle school kids at these things. What is wrong with me? ;) haha
More importantly - where does the time go?
Friday kicked off with me running late. Dang it.
I got off work early but still had to run home & wasn't packed. That was my downfall.
But I still got there right before the kids did - whew!
It was funny because my group was originallly supposed to have 18 kiddos - but after more girls from my night time bible study got there & found out they were in another group - they asked if they could be switched... I ended up with 21 girls... That's some "small group"
But honestly - these girls are so great... we really did have an amazing small group time. Some great discussions - some big emotions - some amazing talks. & they are all respectful of one another - listening to each other & not talking over each other... they are the best. Truly the best kids ever!
This years theme was WITH.... & the phrase we kept repeating was God's Will IS WITH....
& we had some great lessons on how we need to remember how God is so near... how we dont have to work towards to earn that relationship with God - He is pursuing US... we need to just remember that & know that not only that He is WITH us - He is WITHIN us... He gave us the Holy Spirit as a reminder that He is always near. Never leaving us.
So many great examples....
There was a great story the speaker gave where he parachuted out... they gave him the lesson on what to do & showed him where the cord was to pull - YOU CANT MISS IT - it was pink with a golf ball on it - right on the chest - YOU CANT MISS IT.... except when he jumped, he panicked & he couldnt find it. Totally convinced he was going to die. & then the hand came around him to pull the cord for him. He was so lost in the panic, he forgot he was in a tandem unit & there was someone on his back who was in control. There was someone in charge - someone who was going to make sure he was safe in this. ... such a good visual story.
Believe is so great at making these weekends come to life
I loved it too because SO MANY TIMES.... they referenced that God being with us because He created us - KNIT US! He was the one who KNITTED US IN THE WOMB... I felt like standing up every time they said it & being like REPRESENT!!!!
A few of the other leaders even told me every time the speakers said that, they thought of me....I should have lifted my knitting high when they said it every time... y'all know I had my knitting with me (but I actually had no time to knit but a few stitches the entire time - too busy having fun with my girls)
& the worship is always amazing.... these kids FEEL it... they are so free to worship in a way they dont any other time.
The kids even told me they love going up to the front where everyone crowds & they dont even know the person next to them but they love worshipping with these 'strangers' - just knowing you all have a connection because you're worshiping the same God together. Such a special feeling.
Of course, I was a little on the freaked out side with all the flu stuff going around & it seeming like the world is sick. I was QUEEN of the hand sanitizer.
& then Saturday morning, one of my girls was like, "go to the bathroom with me - I think I'm going to be sick"... well, indeed she was. She threw up TWICE. Talk about a panic attack coming in.
I called the nurse & the nurse checked her out & sat with her for the afternoon. She thought it may be some sort of food allergy or anxiety thing because the girl never ran a fever & totally acted fine the rest of the evening - dancing, jumping, eating a salad... but I was freaked out & kept the sanitizer flowing.
& even worse, another leader from another church passed OUT on one of my youth kiddos... spilling his coffee in the meanwhile all over her... AND thank God she was there - he would have hit his head on the hard concrete.
But he was sweating with a fever - told the nurses when they got there that he has the FLU.... OK - let's stop for a second - WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY would you come to a youth conference if you knew you had the flu??????? COME ON PEOPLE... & we wonder why the flu is an epidemic right now? I was so angry about this. Like LIVID about it.
The nurses put a mask on him immediately & they got him out to go to the hospital.
I told my MSM girl to take that shirt off & BURN IT. We got her another shirt & I about doused her with sanitizer too... UGHHHH - all the sickness.
Pray none of us get sick now after this weekend. (PLEASE SWEET JESUS)
The best part of the weekend was these kids making choices & decisions on becoming Kingdom Workers - what CIY calls it to promote following through weekends like this - decisiosn on what you're going to do NEXT....put your faith into action to change the world.
The challenge was to do this in group of 3's - accountability.... they went to different areas to see where they were going to decide what they were going to do. They brought their decision back to me & we prayed over the things they wanted to do together.... I LOVED THIS PART OF THE WEEKEND.
We headed back to church to break down the weekends events... & found out 3 people decided to commit their life to Jesus... YAHOOOO!!!!
& about a dozen are rededicating... A successful weekend! GO GOD!!!!!
& then it was time for a Talent Show. & next thing I know - I have a group of girls running up to me to ask me to dance with them. I thought they were joking. These girls dance. Like seriously dance every weekend in competitions - I told them to just do it on their own & they refused - they said I HAD to do it with them.
& then they showed me a routine... & next thing I know - we're starting the talent show in 15 minutes. Ummm.... what's that routine? HAHA - they didnt even care. They were like, freestyle the whole time - we dont care - we just want you up there. I LOVE THESE GIRLS.
So I have no problem making a fool out of myself for them. I just kept telling myself - its all about memories. I want these girls to grow up remembering they had someone who loved them so much, they just wanted to have fun. There's no cares in having a good time together. I want these girls to always remember our friendships & relationships when they think back on this weekend.
{Here's the full version if you saw it on Facebook}
But let's back up & say, our kids have some AMAZING TALENT! There were some kids ,I sat with my jaw dropped at how amazing they were. We had one kiddo that has skills with a yo-yo that he SERIOUSLY needs to get on America's Got Talent. Me? Not so much ;) haha
& then we went into the sanctuary for our CELEBRATION SERVICE.
What a great time to have kids come up & talk about their weekend & what they learned...
& to get to worship one more time together.
Its so hard to put into words weekends like this. They are so individual. God speaks differently for every single person. But the fun & relationships that come out of these weekends are just the best part of it all.
Even when you get 3 hours sleep & you eat junk all weekend - & your feet are killing you - & you deal with puking kids - & make a fool out of yourself.... it's all worth it. & you look forward to the next year.
2018 - here we go Another year lays ahead of us... so much possibility But first, we gotta get through the first month. The dreary winter month - the month that is after all the excitement of the holidays - the month that apparently is full of flu germs (YIKES) - we made it... & here's what my month looked like One Sentence a Day _______________________________________
1. Didnt even leave our warm home when it was zero degrees all day long & ended up getting all the Christmas decorations down. #baretreestillupthough
2. Looks like its back to the grind. #backtoworkwego
3. Water pipes are busting everywhere in this frigid cold & we were all in a little panic when our water went out at work & we were trying to figure out where to go to the bathroom at. #theyfixeditfast #noaccidentswerehad
4. I have been watching every day how they are taking the ice rink down out of my office window & shocked that now, they're at the point where people are actually SHOVELING the ice up. #gottabeabetterway
5. So I made the leap & joined Weight Watchers!!! #letsdothis 6. Got to meet a FB friend in real life when she commissioned me to do a canvas lettering project for her & she is even more ADORABLE in person. #howdidInotgetapic? 7. So glad to be back at MSM & see my adorable & precious girls. #missedthemsomuch
8. Starting to have issues with Mr. Ernie trying to show his dominance to all the dogs, & even me & Ricky. #gottaputhiminhisplace
9. Getting so upset about Ernie & hoping this is just a phase he's going through with his aggression. #snarlingissues
10. My kitchen floor is basically a mudpit with all the damp ground & no sunshine for a week. #SwifferOnOverdrive
11. I didnt think I was ever going to get out of the grocery when I stopped on the way home from doing my weekly shopping the night before a snow storm - when EVERYONEEEEE & their momma was in the grocery. #2hourtrip
12. Winter Storm Warning let us get out of work early on a Friday. #slipperyridehome
13. We all stay snuggled in the house all day long while it was snow covered & freezing outside. #snugglethedayaway
14. The kids were laughing at me because I kept giving everyone "Far away hugs" instead of real hugs because hello - Flu season is crazy. #tryingtostayhealthy
15. My first MLK day off work & I'm so glad because it snowed all day long & I wouldn't want to drive in 5 inches of snow. #cleanedmyhouseallday
16. I'm 100000% convinced my Bruno has angels protecting him when he SOMEHOW managed to get BEHIND the gate at the steps & fell down them for the THIRD TIME. #hesELASTICDOG!!!!!
17. So that was a surprise when I opened the door to come home from work & Mr. Ernie had apparently climbed out of his play pen & sitting so proudly waiting for me. #whattodonow?
18. Watching Ernie on our security cameras all day to make sure he stays in his play area & he stayed in there all day long.... until about 15 minutes before Ricky got home. #sofunny
19. Went to the vet for Ernie to get his rabies shots & to find out Bruno busted his inner ear after that stair fall. #mypooroldman
20. Loved staying at home to finish reading a book & watched all the snow melt away!!!
21. So excited to be back with our Joysters to kick off our new season. #feelslikeforever
22. It felt like the longest Monday ever when I had work & ran home & then had to run back down to church for a Youth meeting & got home near 8:30pm #needmytimeathome
23. Tried a new Vegan recipe of 1-Pot Lentil Soup that was DELICIOUS! #thehubslovedittoo

28. Enjoyed being back in my middle school girls Bible Study as well with a great talk on anxiety & worry. #itstartsyoung
29. So glad Ricky was able to get in with a new dentist to get his broken tooth looked at. #wemayactuallyhaveaGOODdentistnow!!!
30. I made it through the entire State of the Union address. #thatfamilywhoadoptedthebaby #thatmanwiththecrutches
31. Yep.... the bare Christmas Tree is still up. #decoratingitforvalentinesday
& just because I started using this app for 1 Second Everyday, I thought it would be an extra Bonus every month
68 / No Coat.
I think one day last week was the first time I didnt have to wear a coat into work. It felt so funny & different. Granted, I was chilly on that morning walk, but it still felt good to not be constrained.
69 / MSM Meeting.
We played a Taboo-type game before we got down to business & its just fun to hang out with all the other leaders & high school kiddos that help lead as well.
70 / Lunch with coworker.
I've just really hit it off with one of my coworkers & we went down to the Hard Rock for lunch. I was even happier when we prayed before out meal together.
This is a CAULIFLOWER Burger!! Ever heard of that? It was delicious!!!
73 / Diapers
Speaking of my coworker - she brought in some diapers that she didnt need anymore. She had gotten them for her dog when she was in heat, but she just got spayed so she was going to throw them away. It worked out perfectly because we were wanting to try the XL on Bruno - this let us try it before buying. (Note - the XL did help with his fatty tumor hanging - but he was able to wiggle those loose & they'd fall off of him. Back to the size L)
74 / Precious text.
I got the sweetest text from one of my MSM girls telling me about a conversation that my girls had at lunch & how grateful they were for me as their "CM" (Church Mom).. I honestly got choked up. These girls... have I mentioned how amazing they are? Probably 3 dozen times, I know. I'll keep saying it.
78 / My Artic Cup.
My work buddy from my last job got me this when I left - & man, this is the best cup. I have my Yeti that I got at work for my coffee - & boy it keeps things hot - but I love this cup because I can put ice in it & water & at the end of the day, there's STILL ice in it. I dont mind drinking water at all when its so cold & this is doing the job of keeping me up in my water intake!
79 / Bank walks.
While its been so nice, my coworker has had me walk with her to the bank in the afternoon. It's been so nice to get out & breath fresh air in the late afternoon.
81 / First Readathon
I had never done it before but I am so hooked. Clear out the schedule to do nothing but read. I so enjoyed focusing on books & finding other reading IG accounts & Twitter accounts. It was just the best experience for something I had no idea existed as of last week.
86 / Ricky & horses
Ricky has been wanting to help out my dad with his horses since my dad hurt his knee - but my brother is amazing & has taken on the job. Well, this past weekend, my brother had his daughters basketball games where it was going to cut into his sleep - so Ricky got to help. & then the poor guy broke a tooth .... & then had something painful happen to his hip. But he was NOT about to miss the chance to help out. Love his heart in serving others.
What good things have been going on in your world this week?
