Friday Five

Posted by Dory @ Lucky Dorito on Friday, July 18th, 2008

In an effort to overlook my earlier plea for prayer until the point at which I can clearly discuss WHAT the heck is up around here… I’ve decided to focus on the silver linings of the week.

  1. My husband and I are together, out of town, with our girls this weekend. He is attending a continuing education course while the girls and I have no particular plans - just to be here, together. (There might be shopping and swimming involved though! Woo-stinkin-hoo!)
  2. Regardless of the HIGH level of stress that’s been ever-present this week - I am thankful for all the hours my husband and I have spent in deep discussion. We’ve been married nearly 14 years and it’s so easy to forget how much we loved *talking* to each other in the early days. Nowadays, instead - we spend all our time focused on our jobs and our kids and all the normal everyday factors of life…. and rarely get the opportunity to just talk. What a blessing it has been.
  3. My young daughters are forever making me laugh - often to the point of snorting! I can always count on them to keep the humor alive and fresh in our lives!
  4. Getting to see the big ole’ grin on my childs’ face when she used her OWN money to purchase a guitar this week - something she’s been BEGGING for - and it is now hers…. bought with her own hard-earned chore money. Sweet!
  5. A fabulous book to take my mind off of stress.   :) Thanks, Stacy!

    Still praying. Hubby-Wife talking time is the greatest, isn’t it? When M and I make time to sit down and talk about…well, anything…we always somehow manage to start getting silly and making one another laugh until we hurt…OR we end up dreaming together. A husband and wife need to know how to laugh together and dream together. I’m glad you’re having a good time as a family unit! :o)

    Thank you. It was just what we needed.

    Your welcome, but not sure which book it is right now.

    Thank you for #2. Perhaps that is what is needed around here.

    *Plain Truth* by Jodi Picoult. It was fabulous! :)
