Welcome to Friday's Fave Fives. I'm keeping my tulip button up this week in a determined effort to believe spring is just around the corner. We had a snow dump yesterday morning and another is expected over the weekend starting this afternoon. We had such a dry winter that I'm going to choose to be thankful for the moisture. Eventually in it's own good time spring will be here. But until then let's look back over the week and find what blessed us and share five of our favorites.
~ weekend movie afternoons ~ Hubby and I have an extensive blu-ray collection that has built up over the years. This year we determined to watch one of them a weekend and make a decision whether its a favorite and something we will watch over and over again and therefore a keeper or whether we feel we're good to say goodbye to it. It's been kind of fun looking forward to the shared time and it feels good to free up space
~ vanilla slice treat ~ Hubby had to make a delivery in a little town that has a good Dutch bakery and he stopped in and picked me up one of my favorite pastries. Vanilla slices remind me of my childhood when Mom and Dad would treat us with one occasionally. It was very thoughtful of him and I enjoyed every bite.
~ surprise mail ~ Yesterday I opened the mailbox to find this cute envelope in there addressed to me. (Of course I scratched off the personal info on it,)
Upon opening it, I found the most lovely watercolor painting of a book and flowers, 2 of my favorite things. My friend painted me a picture to let me know she was thinking of me. What a blessing that was on the tail end of a tough month. She had no idea I'd been sick or injured my knee, yet at just the perfect timing she sent me this. The envelope already had me smiling but the painting and note was a real gift. I'm going to frame it for my bookshelves. Isn't she talented? And she only started painting last fall.
~ time change ~ Ok I am going to be quite frank, I hate the time change, whether springing ahead or falling back. My body just does not handle it well. But I am more thankful for more daylight at the end of the day. I just wish they would quit messing with nature the way God created it and let my circadian rhythm stay the same groove throughout the year.
~ a return to neighborhood walks ~ my knee has healed enough that I have been able to get out some days after work to take Tux for short walks around the neighborhood. Sometimes it's only around a block or two before the knee starts getting fatigued or sore but yesterday I was able to go over a mile. Not briskly, but a nice slower yet steady pace. So thankful to be able to be out doing that again.
What have been your favorite blessings this week?
