Weekly Winks

Lake Tillery, home of my favorite hammock in the world.

            Every Friday I share the Winks of Goodness I experienced throughout the week in the hopes of inspiring you to do the same thing. I’ve found that writing down and formally acknowledging these suckers gives them more power. I encourage you to share your own Weekly Winks on my site (still figuring some technical stuff out on that if you have trouble) or social media. So look around and write it down — share the goodness.   

Saturday— I finally made it to Lake Tillery, where I got to lounge in my favorite hammock in the world. This is my happiest happy place. 

Sunday— The Tots and I played fetch with the resident dog at Lilly’s Bridge Marina at Lake Tillery. Who knew such joy could come from a slobbery tennis ball. 

Monday— My son, Graydon, and I walked the two-mile loop at the lake. He held my hand on and off. That never gets old. 

Tuesday— I rearranged my home office in order to begin some kind of fresh start. (Fingers crossed that this clears the fog that is plaguing my brain.) Now I have a panoramic view of the trees in our back yard. Why didn’t I do this years ago?

WednesdayDesigning Women is officially on Hulu. I cannot stress enough how awesome this show is and how it so accurately portrays strong southern women. Watch it! Go watch it now!

Thursday— The breeze felt like a baptism today. 

Friday— The high school football players worked carpool this morning at The Tots’ school for Spirit Day. Their bright blue jerseys are so cheerful, and I love seeing the different ages of students help and support each other. Go Spartans!

Happy weekend!
