Time for my weekly dose of joy and its always a bit strange writing this when I don't feel that joyous. I'm feeling quite flat and anxious as I write this and wondering why. I assume it's because my Dad had an operation on Tuesday and I haven't seen him yet. I'm also stressing about stupid stuff and because the kids are off school, I'm not getting the time to take myself off and just be with God, which is what I'd normally do when I'm out of sorts. But it is only a short while they are off and I need to embrace it and enjoy it. I can focus again next week!
So there has been some good times in the last week, many things to be thankful for -
Friday - my lovely friend Krisha came over for the day and we chatted loads, ate cake and had a great walk around the lake. I started that day feeling sad and ended it much happier.
Saturday - We all went out for lunch at the Toby Carvery and I helped the girls make some cupcakes for sale at church the next day.
Sunday - an excellent service at church, about being salt and light right where you are.
Monday - Fun WI meeting learning how to make natural skin cream. It was fab and I'll certainly be having a go
Tuesday - We headed over to Leeds Castle as a family and had a really nice day. In truth the castle wasn't as glamorous or stately as I had been told by others, but the falconry display and just generally walking and feeding the ducks with all my family was fabulous.
Wednesday - nothing major today, I got a few jobs done and started investigating cars for sale in the local area. I discovered all the ones I want are far more than I want to spend.
Thursday - I'm off to see my parents for a couple of days with the kids. It will be great to see my Dad and be able to spend some time with my family.
Come and Join In!
