Friday's Fave Five #820


Welcome to Friday's Fave Five. We're intentionally looking for our blessings in our every day lives, whether big or small. Whether it's been a good week or a difficult week. Looking for those moments God has sent us good things to lift us up. Won't you join us?

~ crockpot meals ~ Sunday was the first Sunday back to church for me since my Mom went into hospital at the beginning of December.  It was a hectic morning trying to get back into Sunday routine.  Days like this I'm so thankful for my hard working crockpot who cooked us up a fine meal of bbq pork chops while we were away at church.  In the winter months my crockpot gets a good workout as it's used quite frequently because it's such an easy way to have a great meal ready at the end of a long day.  Basically just toss, season and go.


~ tea ~ I always know when I'm coming down with something is when this coffee loving gal turns her nose up at coffee and seeks out the tea cupboard, even in the morning.  Such was the case this week as the weekend's "feeling off" turned into a winter cold.  There is something so soothing and healing about a hot cup of tea when one isn't feeling well.  I've got a good stash of them, both herbal and black teas, so I just went with whatever my body was craving at the moment.


~ organization ~ I have had a to-do list of getting certain areas of the house organized and cleaned up, but it has been on the back burner for so long.  Finally this week I took the plunge and got started.  Though it was tough going at first the longer I spent at it the more motivated I became.  It felt so good to finally be dealing with all the chaos.  By the weekend hopefully I'll have made a good dent in the dayhome storage room which has blown up with all sorts of stuff that has nothing to do with dayhome.  


~ cozy lounging outfit ~ my friend gifted me a cozy outfit to lounge around in for my birthday.  I don't usually have separate clothes to lounge around in but this comfy outfit now has me questioning why not?!  It's so soft and warm and comfortable.  Perfect pairing with a good book.





~ sunshine and fresh air ~ December was a month where I was not able to get out much so it was a pleasure to be able to get out into the sunshine on a beautiful day yesterday.  What a blessing the crisp air was with the warmth of the sun.  So thankful for those moments.


What were your favorite blessings this week?
