Linking with Cami at Thankful Thursday
It's been so hot that all we've wanted to do is lazy around. It's hard to be outside very long....so we wait until evening when the sun goes down and then get outdoors. There's something nice about having the freedom to do absolutely nothing. This week I'm thankful for.....
-Dancing Softly reviews keep coming in and everyone's been loving it. Not even liking it but loving it. Yeahhh.
“For just a few months of one's life, is it so awful to nap in a
garden, in a patch of sunlight, in the middle of the day, right next to your
favorite fountain? And then to do it again the next day?” Elizabeth Gilbert

-I submitted my children's story to two publishers...the hard part - waiting, the best part - it's done and over with it.
-going for long drives and discovering new fun places.....beaches we never knew existed, an amazing hamburger place with burgers and fries to die for....and quaint little shops with the nicest people running them.
-life with all it's beauty....flowers that take my breath away...trees that are tall and strong and people who smile and make me feel happy
-mostly His presence in my life...I still have to shake my head that it's real...His peace....His joy....His love. With Him in my world....life is the total best.

I love hamburgers!
And yes, I agree... what joy to have the freedom to do nothing all day. Today, I enjoyed the solitude of my room, listening to worship music ALL DAY LONG. Just a bit of gardening for about an hour in the morning, and when the sun got too hot, I went back to the cool comfort of my bedroom.
Congrats on the books reviews! I am really proud to be your friend.
I know the children's story will be a hit as well.
Flowers... people who truly care... and yes, His abiding presence. Life is worth living.
Love
Lidia
