Daily 5 - Year 3, Day 82

Today's Daily 5:

1. Sleeping in
2. attending the afternoon session of a conference alone, and feeling free to worship
3. catching up with a friend I hadn't seen in a while
4. worship led by Jason Upton - so different from anything else out there - contemplative, prophetic, so powerful and refreshing
5. a hug from a friend I hadn't seen in years, and the knowledge that I'll get to catch up with her a bit tomorrow

Daily 5 - Year 3, Day 79

I just realized that I forgot to post yesterday's Daily 5, so, here's Yesterday's Daily 5:

1. Wearing a pair of boots that I love, purchased while I was in Malta
2. picking up breakfast on my way to work
3. Quarter and Nickel candy from a convenience store
4. tears that were mostly cathartic
5. a knitting lesson, and the encouragement of friends

Quiet

I'm declaring a quiet weekend in this space, starting now.  I'll be around for the Daily 5 posts this weekend, but that's probably it.

This has been a wearing sort of week, and sleep last night was fleeting.  I had odd dreams of leeches and dogs and all sorts of other things.  A weird conglomeration, really, and morning came far too soon for comfort and rest.

Plus, it's finally snowing here.  Those of you who know me well know that I am NOT a fan of either winter or the white stuff that comes with it.

So, I'm going to take a weekend to rest.  I'm attending a conference this weekend, and recovering from a tiring couple weeks as I gear up for a very busy November.

See you Monday!
