TGIF! What are your weekend plans? ♥

 Hello Friends! Happy Friday (TGIF!!)

I promise I'll be a little more positive today than I was in my last post : )

I truly appreciate your support and those who reached out to me to let me know they fully understand what I was feeling and that I'm not alone (or crazy!). I guess I'm just a person that really hates change and doesn't feel like myself when faced with it. This world can be a scary place to navigate sometimes.  I have to focus on the GOOD and I will continue to do that. 

Pinky promise! 

Moving on...♥

I hope you all had a nice week.  The weather was LOVELY here this week and the sun is still shining today which makes me very happy.  I have been taking walks, reading my book, and working on my cross stitch. All good things! I've heard we are looking at a beautiful weekend also, so I'll take that too. Rob mentioned going out to eat on Saturday night (I think he can tell I need it) so I'll be getting myself dressed up and out of the house for a few hours, which I'm looking forward to.  Maybe I'll even have a cocktail - party girl that I am : ) 

I just stepped out on my back deck to get a bit of fresh air in my lungs.  I was drinking my coffee and listening to our windchimes.  It was so peaceful.  Those are the little things that I cling to, the things that make my heart happy.  

*Sidenote - Have you ever put cool whip in your coffee? 

 It's amazing and I highly recommend it ♥

Saturday night John has a "gig" with his band that he's very excited for.  The last one a few weeks ago at the art festival went extremely well!  With every performance comes a little more confidence, but more so - he's having so much fun doing do it.  

I'm so happy and proud of him for following his dreams.  He's been playing music since he was 3 years old.  Taking lessons and playing all through school.  And now he's got his own band and he's preforming for audiences on his own, playing the music he wants to play.  It's what he's always hoped for.  

As parents it's so rewarding to see your kids doing what they love.  

Amazing ♥

If this kid only knew...

I'll keep you posted on how it all goes.  It's one of those "open mic" type things.  His band gets 10 minutes and 3 songs. I'll see if I can get some pictures to post next week 🤞

So, other than dinner Saturday night, I'll be here - puttering around the neighborhood.  I spotted this wild forsythia on my walk the other day.  I don't have a forsythia bush in my yard and I was very tempted to run home and get my clippers.  Wouldn't a bunch of these look pretty on my kitchen table? 

Will I return with clippers in my pocket? We shall see ...:) 

Other things on my weekend agenda:

Laundry (of course!)

Clean out 1 closet and fill a donation bag

Bake a pie.  I've had a craving for a custard pie, one of my mom's favorites. 

Rob mentioned a ride to beach on Sunday after church for a walk, which I would love

Write out 2 cards and take them to the post office

Allow myself to rest 

We also want to see the new Michael Jackson movie, but chances are I won't get there this weekend.  Maybe next week.  I'm also starting to think about flowers, but it's a bit too early to plant.  In time, in time.  It's always nice to have things to look forward to, right?!

This is literally me every day....🡣

I love it! ♥

I especially love how it's not even acknowledged he's drinking out of the coffee pot!  

I feel seen!! 

I hope you all have a happy and restful weekend! I hope you get some sunshine your way. 

Enjoy it! ♥
