It was a pretty good week....a lot less hectic than the last two, and so I'm taking time to reflect back and share FIVE of my FAVE blessings. You can join in by going to Susanne's site to learn about this writing exercise.

- LATE AFTERNOON KAYAKING! I get out of work at 2 pm on Fridays, and since last Friday was such a gorgeous day, I took Claire kayaking. We had a lovely time on the lake and came home to a yummy pizza dinner cooked by Dave. It was a wonderful way to begin the weekend!
- ERRANDS COMPLETE: Last Saturday was rainy and I had several errands to run all over town. Dave offered to drive and go with me to help me with a couple of them. We stopped at our town library first which was fun....we had some time to browse and I discovered a book that I had been waiting for was finally available! I'm thankful for the extra help on the weekends and for a library with good books!

- SALE! One of our local drugstores had a special going on regarding this brand of dark chocolate. I snagged 2 bags and saved even more money with my extrabucks! I love having a square in the evening after dinner with a hot cup of tea while relaxing with a book. Dave and Courtney like this flavor as well. We don't eat it every day but when we crave a little sweet, this is the perfect size!
- CATCHING UP! On Wednesday evening I was out doing my power walking/running interval training and I happened to see one of Courtney's teachers from high school out doing yard work. She lives in the next development over from ours and I hadn't seen her to talk to her since about the time Courtney entered college in the fall of 2011! This woman teaches some higher level writing classes at our high school and Courtney had her for Creative Writing. Come to find out, the woman is now a Christian and goes to our church! I had her son, now 17, when he was a 4 year old in a preK where I was teaching for a year. It was so much fun to catch up and I'm thankful to know there is yet another Christian teacher in our local public school.
- ANSWERED PRAYER! I had a huge answer to pray happen this past week. I'm not going to go into the details here but I'll be writing a post about it later this weekend. It involves an upcoming vacation, my youngest daughter, and my marriage. I'm so thankful that God hears our cries and the deepest desires of our heart and sometimes He answers "yes"!
That wraps up my week.
I am looking forward to this long weekend and I hope you all have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend enjoying the perk of having Monday off from work!
Do you have any fun plans??
Blessings,

Looks like perfect weather for kayaking! I love when my Dave comes with me on errands. Keeps me more on track. I tend to wander and get distracted when I'm on my own and the next thing I know hours have passed. LOL. Yay for finding that book you were waiting for. I'm all about that being a fave. The chocolate sounds yummy. Don't know if I have you discipline to only have one square! Praise God for answered prayer! Enjoy your long weekend.
I've always thought kayaking looked so peaceful, though I imagine it's hard work. All of the men in my family have tried it but not my daughter-in-law and I. I'm glad you got to go - and coming home to pizza was a plus! Nice to have some company for errands. I'm like Susanne - it's hard for me to limit myself with sweets, especially ones I most like. Nice that you found a sale for the ones you like! What a nice meet-up with your daughter's former teacher! And sounds like wonderful answer to prayer.
A kayak ride sounds wonderful. I loved going out when I had my kayak but I don't have it anymore. I miss it. Answered prayers are such a blessing.
One of the things on my bucket list this summer is to take a kayak out at our local nature reserve.
It's always exciting when I get an email from the library that one of the books I have on order is in! It's like a letter in the mailbox -- good mail!
One of my faves this week is answered prayer, and YOU were a part of it. Thank you. xo
Kayaking has never been something that appeals to me - I'm not a strong swimmer and don't like being underwater but your pictures make it look so peaceful. One square of chocolate? I'd have to get hubby to give me the square and then hide the rest to keep to that! lol. Glad your prayer was answered. Enjoy your weekend.
The kayaking seems like it would be both good exercise and good relaxation.
I'll check back to read about your answered prayers. So good to hear about that!
Enjoy your weekend. Ours is just a usual quiet time with nothing special planned.
Very productive week! I have never tried kayaking but it does look like a serene hobby.
