Daily 5 - Day 87

After my appointment this afternoon, I found myself feeling very tired. I had dinner with my parents and my brother and his girlfriend, and then decided to forgo church tonight in favor of a quiet evening of rest. I've basically had the evening I've been hoping to have for the last several Friday's to have and haven't been able to for various reasons.

Today's Daily 5:

1. I'm thankful that the technician was able to repair our internet connection again.
2. Spending a quiet evening doing what I'd hoped to do last night.
   
3. Red wine
4. Grey's Anatomy - and seeing God speak amidst that yet again
5. Eating the cookies I baked this morning
6. Sipping a cup of mango rooibos tea
7. feeling fairly peaceful
8. Thankful for an appointment today that seems to have gone well (praying these treatments will truly help)
9. Spending a chunk of the afternoon resting
10. magic bags - so great when you're tired and your muscles ache.
    

The Titles Tell a Story...

It's clearly on record that I love Grey's Anatomy. I fell for it the first season it came out, and I've been watching ever since. Yes, it's a soap opera. I'm quite aware of that, thank you. But (and I know it sounds bizarre) I keep watching because God speaks to me quite regularly through the episodes, through the themes they explore, or especially through the voice over monologues that begin and end most episodes.

Lately, though the other things have still caught my attention, it's been the episode titles that have been telling a story. If you know me well, and know some of the things that have gone on in the last while, the titles of the last four episodes will likely make you chuckle. They tell a story about the journey I've been on as well.

Invasion

I Saw What I Saw

Give Peace a Chance

Invest in Love

Yep, they tell a story... one that I can't share all the details too, but let me just say that the progression made me chuckle when I noticed it tonight. Because it's a pretty accurate description of the way I've been journeying too. And of the places my heart has been, is, or is aspiring to be.

Saturday, Mid-Afternoon

I got the internet repaired this morning. I'm hoping that that means that I won't be having a visit from a telus technician every two weeks.

In about 2 hours I have a health appointment that I'm both nervous and excited about.

I'm debating the merits of attending church tonight, or simply coming home after my appointment and having the quiet evening of Grey's Anatomy and self-care that I'd had planned for last night.

So, we'll see how the evening goes.

But for the moment at least, I'm grateful to have my internet connection restored.
