Monday, Monday…….aww to be retired and not be scurrying around to get out the door for school. What tradeoffs we have of aging with the wrinkles, white hair and a few aches and pains but the time to sit with a cup of coffee a bit longer under a cozy blanket. My companion pup, Cora, asleep beside me after a quick potty break in the brisk morning air is such a comfort.
This Monday is not the relaxing one that I usually enjoy. My day is filled with appointments and packing for a month long rv trip with Ronnie B to go to Jessica’s wedding and travel to see grandkids in the northwest. But still there is time for Bible study and a few clicks of the keys to share my thoughts with you.
Remember when each Monday morning we would ask a coworker how their weekend was? Their response was the predictable…..way too short. That always seemed negative to me. Rather than reflecting on their time off that was always as the same number of hours each week unless a holiday was attached, they whined about the predetermined length. Today, I want to share that I had a fabulous weekend filled with smiles and connections. Friday night I had a date with my Ronnie B then got to watch Mayve on Saturday morning. Saturday evening was a social one with Julie coming for dinner and a movie early then a gathering at Jenn’s where I may have eaten too much pecan pie and had a bit more whiskey than I should have. Luckily, it is just across the street so Ron and I walked home safely. Sunday was a trip to see our sweet Aunt Linda who is approaching eighty-one and still sharp minded as her steps slow down with health issues. Sunday night football topped off the weekend before I laid my head on my pillow. So I am not saying my weekend was too short. In fact, it was perfect and filled with those I love and enjoy.
Today, I will shorten my time on my favorite spot on the couch and get around for our next adventures. Natalie and Nate get keys to their first home today which we will see next week when we get up north. I am taking Jenn for a cat scan that she would appreciate prayers for. My lists are dwindling as I get the laundry washed and the packing done. Ron and I are looking forward to our time in our traveling casita. It is always so fun to roll along together in our cozy home on wheels. My hope is that your weekend was just the right length and even if you are getting ready for work that you have work family to look forward to and smiles along the way.
In Him,
Joyful
