Well here it is already Thursday. As I turn around to see where the week has gone, it’s quite puzzling. For whatever reason, I still feel lost back in Tuesday. Is it just me?
Breathing a deep sigh today as yesterday did not go so well. It was something I read online that caused for such disappointment, to the point it hurt. It hurt so much that by the end of the day, I wrote a little note to the author stating how their words and actions hurt.
It was a day where I could just close the chapters of the internet for a while. But as I thought about it and talked it over with the hubs last evening, I can see where there is a lot of good out there. And just like life, there will always be an amount of unpleasant things. But we must not allow them to rule our heart and destroy our soul.
So for today, this is the verse that I cling to. Philippians 4:8 New American Standard Bible: Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.
I’m dwelling on my good night of rest. Isn’t it amazing how good we feel when our bodies are rested?
I’m dwelling on the fun evening I had with hubby last evening. We even cut a rug dancing the East and West Coast Swing in our living room. With a nice little slow dance too. LOVED THAT!
I thought about that open-faced yummy peanut butter and banana concoction I had last evening.
In fact, it was so good that I had a full sandwich for lunch today. Don’t let this little thing fool you as there are a whopping 550 calories in this sandwich alone.
But good and yummy calories, yes I’m counting them every day. Another good thing, as I’m back to my lowest weight after all the yummy things we’ve had going on. Our trip, that BBQ and my Birthday celebration.
I’m dwelling on how beautiful the weather has been. Even today, we still have our windows open. And thus far, we have yet to turn on the AC this year!
And enjoying the sound of wind chimes coming from the great outdoors thru the open windows and sliding glass doors.
When all is said and done, I’m thankful for the good things I have to think about. I have so much to be thankful for.
Blessings – Debbie

Blessings on your beautiful lunch and day!! ( love me some PB and Banana!) Looking forward to when yours and my lives slow down again for some yummy girlfriend time!! love you!
Thanks for being such a good friend. I look forward to spending some quality time together this summer. It’s going to be epic, I just know it. Is it July yet? It’s crazy how our schedules conflict all the way thru the next month…
