The weather this week has been spectacular.  Blue skies and sunshine.  And I’ve been so happy about that.

The list of things to do this week has been regularly long – but starting with the mindset that my life is full and not busy has been surprisingly so helpful.  Hasn’t changed the to-do list but it has shaped my attitude.

Also – I can’t come up with all the fives this week.  What can I say?  I’ll give you what I’ve got and we’ll have to choose to be satisfied with that.

 

 

funny

 

Tripp and Tyler have a new video out and it makes me laugh.  (What if candy was currency?)

 

 

fashionable

 

While I find it obnoxious that Instagram and Facebook frequently post ads, I also sometimes find myself being drawn to what they’re selling.  (I know.  I KNOW.  This is exactly why it all keeps happening.)

Anyway.

I think this dress is lovely.  That is all.

 

 

faithful

 

I finished reading God Has a Name by John Mark Comer.  Although his writing style of over friendly didn’t fit the format I like best in a non fiction book, I really gained a lot of helpful truths and enlightenment from his writing.  I underlined and dog eared a fair amount of the book, which I find to be a sign of a good read.

 

feels

 

I hope I never outgrow my affection for surprises.  Since I’m forty four years old (!!!) I’m thinking that my chances for keeping that love are pretty strong.  (Wait – let me clarify.  I’m mostly talking about HAPPY surprises.  My love for happy surprises.  Not like the surprise of a frog on my pillow or a kid coming to me with a bleeding foot injury.  Not those sort of surprises.)

This week my nephew – grown up man that he is – about to be a college graduate THIS weekend, surprised me.  He and his sweet girlfriend sent me a package for Mother’s Day.  That’s pretty fantastic – isn’t it?

I love the gift – a really great camping supply set that I can’t wait to use.  And you know what else I really love?  That this busy guy took time to think about me and then actually took the time for the follow through of sending said gift.
