Friday’s Fave Five – Five Things I Am Thankful For

Today I am joining Friday’s Fave Five: a moment to look back and count five blessings.

It was quite a week... no voice, coughing fits, my mother-in-law’s surgery, an inflamed insect bite, and far too much heat. 

But today I’m choosing the nicer list: the blessings. 😊

1. Beautiful skies outside my writing room

This week the skies outside my writing room were so beautiful. Sometimes I only had to look out of the window to be reminded that there is still beauty around me. My writing room has its own little window of wonder.

The photo was taken with my phone, so the stars are a bit blurry. But hopefully it gives you an idea of how beautiful the sky was.

2. An early walk in the woods

It was very warm this week, but I still went to the woods for a little while. I went very early, before the day became too hot. The quiet, the trees, the morning light on the grasses... it all did me good.

Below is my favorite tree-lined path. If you're there early enough, and the light cooperates, you'll see a bright light at the end of the tunnel. No, not that kind of light! It's simply the rising sun. Isn't it beautiful? ☀️🌳

3. Continuing my study of Acts

I continued my study of the book of Acts. I read slowly, but maybe that is not a bad thing. Slow reading can also become deep reading.

4. Writing, blogging, and a small Vinted find

I wrote a few blog posts this week, and I hope to add the links here. Writing helps me to think, to notice things. I also bought something lovely on Vinted for my writing room. Just a small thing, but it made me very happy.

5. My daughter’s wedding dress

A very special moment this week was going to the bridal shop. My daughter’s wedding dress had arrived, and we went to see what still needed to be altered. The dress was pinned and checked, and suddenly the wedding felt a little closer again.

It was also a tense day, because my mother-in-law had surgery. So joy and worry were very close together that day. Maybe that made the beautiful moment even more precious.

These were my five blessings of the week.
What was something that made you thankful this week?
