Daily 5 - Year 2, Day 243

It's been the kind of day where scraping together a list of 5 reasons to smile is more challenging.

Today's Daily 5:

1. making fresh fruit salad
2. hot crossed buns
3. curling up with magic bags on my feet and back
4. a hot bath
5. a bottle of fresh water.  water really is my favorite beverage, and some days I'm just grateful for a good bottle of water.

Daily 5 - Year 2, Day 242

Today's Daily 5:

1. A robin perched on the very top of a tree, singing to welcome the morning
2. unexpectedly having 20 minutes to chat with my chaplain friend when we ended up waiting for friends we were meeting in the same coffee shop.  totally a god thing since it let me have a conversation and do a little processing out loud that was very helpful for me
3. coffee with the friends I went to visit over reading break a few months back
4. a really good appointment
5. good food from a local restaurant, popcorn, and an evening spent watching the movie "Despicable Me" with my mom

Half-Way Through Thursday

I finished writing my last term paper somewhere around 1:30 this morning.

I proofed it once this morning, after I'd slept for several hours, and I'm about to proof it once again before I submit it tomorrow.

I've worked a short shift.

I'm teaching at house church tonight.

I'm going to fit in a little bit of exercise, a shower, and a few administrative style tasks.

Tomorrow is a super-full day, and I'm very much looking forward to tomorrow evening and having a few hours to just rest.
