I had such a simply wonderful weekend! I got to take some time away from classes and remember other things that I love to do and be, like photographing the pretty weeds and lichens in the backyard, reading about my Scottish ancestors, watching lame movies, and listening to incredible a cappella music:
A dear friend and my grandmother encouraged me this weekend to remember to lean more heavily on the Lord during this difficult time of adjustment and soul-searching. My grandmother gave me a beautiful prayer journal that she wants me to doodle in (not write; I don't have many words left by the end of the day - just doodle) every night during my devotion time, and I'm eager to see if it helps me remember and hold onto what I read a little better. It didn't work last night because I waited to start my devotions until very late, and was busy trying not to fall asleep and topple headfirst off the bed; but it's early yet tonight, so we'll see if I can focus a bit better. :-)
Oh yes, and I spent a lot of time
*grin*
I didn't work as far ahead on my homework as I ought to, and I didn't do any professional networking or career-enhancing activities besides going into the office to do a little data analysis; but I badly needed this weekend of rest. I feel refreshed and ready to dive back into my studies and work tomorrow with renewed vigor.
How was your weekend? Did you get some much-needed refreshment?
Hugs and love and toffee nut lattes to you,

ReplyDeleteMy Saturday and Sunday looked like lot of alone time since D worked his normal schedule. I watched a lot of Call the Midwives and Pinterested a lot (along with a little blogging and lesson planning. :) Now, it's D's weekend (Mon-Wed) so we journeyed to a nearby college town, had breakfast, walked downtown and bought a pizza for lunch. I think we may go and see Maze Runner 2 or Hotel Transylvania. :D
Much love, blessings and lattes to you, sweet woman!!
