Happy Friday, everyone! I know we’ve all been reading some heavy stuff lately, which is a good thing, so here’s some not-so-heavy stuff to give your brain a tiny break.
Every Friday I share the Winks of Goodness I experienced throughout the week because 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 or on social media. Look around and write it down — share the goodness.
Saturday — We had a Zoom call with John’s family. It was so wonderful catching up with everyone (on three continents and four states)! Zoom isn’t so bad after all.
Sunday — I spent at least three hours reading on our back stoop (by myself)! And, of course, there was a nice breeze. I’m not sure I could read without one.
Monday — I completed a major work project, and I am so, so proud of it. This feeling of accomplishment is right up there with finding a sweet pair of shoes on sale!
Tuesday — Hamilton, one of our tabby cats, joined me for yoga in the playroom. I think I got more out of it than he did, but he’s much cuter.
Wednesday — I worked out on our front sidewalk in a drizzling rain. It was like having my own personal misting system.
Thursday — Dinner outside with two wonderful friends has never been more fun. I’m so grateful for these glimpses of normal.
Friday — I discovered the 1st Wave Workout channel on Sirius XM, so this morning I did bicep curls to REM, The Smiths and The Cure, the holy trinity of Gen X music. (I’m always the last to know about these things.)
Get outside this weekend and celebrate the fathers in your life. I’m lucky that I’m married to a wonderful father and that I have an awesome father and father-in-law. To my friends who have lost their dads, you are in my heart. Happy weekend!
