Daily 5 - Day 26

Today's daily 5:
  1. A different sort of day of rest
  2. Finally seeing Star Trek
  3. popcorn for supper
  4. A Venti Iced Passion Tea Lemonade, with raspberry
  5. sitting in "my" park, writing beside the creek

Heading out for the evening

I'm still "spinning" a little from this morning.

I spent a chunk of the afternoon in "my" park, writing, listening and praying.

It helped with the processing a bit.

I'm going out to see "Star Trek" with my dad (and maybe mom) tonight. Did you know that I'm just a bit of a trekkie? Nothing too obsessive, but I've definitely loved several incarnations of the television show, and went through a time period in my teenage years where I read quite a few novels as well!

So, dad and I (and maybe mom!) are going to have a movie date and catch the latest Star Trek movie (which neither of us has managed to see yet) at the "cheap" theatre in town. Should be fun.

Plus, since I haven't been hungry, and I'm on my way out the door, I'm totally planning on having popcorn for supper!

Unexpected...

I've had a truly unexpected morning. It's going to take a while to process this one.

Not bad. Very good, actually, I think.

But incredibly unexpected and different.

I'm headed out to find some lunch, and a quiet place to sit and think and write and pray.

Picnic...

I am having a solo picnic, sprawled out on the couch.

I'm eating "Laughing Cow" cheese, spread on Breton Crackers and Melba Toast.

I'm sipping a glass of red wine.

I'm eating Italian Salami.

And I'm taking the time to enjoy a quiet evening. To rest and think, and pray. To have my version of Sabbath.

And it's a beautiful thing.

Daily 5 - Day 25

Today's Daily 5:

  1. The new ostrich feather duster that my mom purchased today, and the laughter and crazyness (including dancing) that ensued.
  2. a picnic by myself in my living room
  3. laughing with dad as he teased my mom
  4. remembering Mother Teresa, and the way her favorite prayer has shaped my own life
  5. quiet moments, listening to sermons from the Jesus Culture website
