I got caught up and sadly wasn’t able to create my joys of the week post last week… And so, we find ourselves with another week has gone by, and us here, on the precipice of a new one, with so much to be grateful for. Let’s share our joys of the week – I’ll start!
We spent Sunday celebrating our wedding anniversary as a family (well, our kid was sort of a wedding gift from God… our little honeymoon baby!). We had a lovely brunch at one of our old favourite cafés, went disc golfing (well, hubby played and I tagged along with the little one), and we attended a co-cathedral for Mass. Plans changed, but we stayed flexible and had a great day!
We made another new friend with someone a few months older than our kid at our local playground. Our new friend is shy so it was so fun for of us mothers to see our kids start to play together! The best thing is that they only live a few doors down, so we will probably be seeing them often!
Fennel. We had some really good fennel this week. That’s my third joy. That’s really as simple as they need to be when you share yours. Marie Kondo your week – what brought you joy? Haha! But actually, come to think of it, there’s been some good food – our Friday fish dish was sublime (no pun intended… we used some lime in the dish), really lifted by a simple but great little salad – avocado, cucumber, radish, tomato (we would have squeezed a little lime juice over it too, but the tomatoes were plenty tart), we had some duck leg earlier this week, and just a bunch of tasty food. I’m so blessed to have a kitchen and to share a love of making good food with my husband!
I’m going to throw in a fourth joy this week: I got to catch up with one of my best friends. We’ve been trying to make our schedules work for weeks now, and we finally found a little chunk of time to chat. It really lifted my spirits!
What have been some of your joys this week? Feel free to share as many as you like in the comments, and praise God for all His blessings, no matter how small!
Until next time, let’s pray for each other. And remember, we can do Mom things through Christ who strengthens us!
