Sweet Sweet Friday

Ah, Friday.  Sweet, sweet Friday!

 Friday, the day when the universe whispers in my ear, "Hey, you've survived the week."

Even my coffee tastes better on Fridays because..... I add a few magic vibes to it. 

I have always LOVED Fridays because they are the gateway to the weekend, and who doesn't love a good weekend?   

Fridays feel like FREE days for me!  The house is clean, the laundry is done, and I've finished all the cooking I plan to do for the week..... Fridays mean NO CHORES and NO COOKING for the next 2 days!!

Fridays are even great if you don't have anything exciting planned for the weekend.  You just roll with the flow.  On Saturdays, I slap on a little makeup (just in case one of the girls drops by and wants to go shopping) and I'm ready for whatever the day brings.  

I worked at least 60 + hours this past week and I earned ZERO $ Dollars, but life isn't always about money.  I love my job of keeping our household running smoothly.  

My Friday and my weekend energy is loading even as I am typing this post.  Let's do this!!

Shug...

Enjoy your Friday...and Love your Weekend.

Kiepersol is a Winery/Restaurant......

The Wine Room.

None of us are Wine drinkers, but it was neat seeing all the different kinds of wine.

The outside view from our table..

So peaceful!!

Look at these beautiful doors!! 

You all would not believe how long we were there...  

 3 hours!!  

Yes, we ate and visited for three hours.  

We had a fabulous day!!

Hoping this day will bring you many unexpected joys!!

 Oh yes... sometimes when you declutter, you find things that have been lost.  This happened to me yesterday.  

life gets busy, and in the process of keeping up with day-to-day responsibilities, things can get misplaced.  This is exactly what happened to me with a special book I purchased, "The Keeper of Stars."

I had been looking forward to reading this book ever since I got it.  However, in one of those moments of absentmindedness, I put it away and promptly forgot where it was. 

Weeks passed by, then the Holidays came, and the next thing I know.....it had been a couple of months since I had seen the book.  I had looked  "EVERYWHERE" for this book....and finally, yesterday I found it!!

I was so excited!!  It is very satisfying to find something you have been searching for, and I may have done a little dance when I spied it.    Woo Hoo.....I am so excited to dive into its pages.  This next Monday and Tuesday might be the perfect days to read.  Some very cold weather is heading our way!!

Why not curl up with this good book and enjoy this lazy time?  I can feel it.....JOY is heading my way.  

Speaking of Joy, I have a lunch date today with my awesome friends.  We are actually going to a "FANCY" place today.  Rarely do we fancy up on the places we choose to eat, but this is a quiet place with a beautiful view and we all just felt like we deserved an outing like this.  

It's a great day to embrace gratitude and positivity.....

BTW....My book was carefully packed away in a bag where I put things that I don't want to get lost.   This was a serious "dull brain" moment for me!!

Midweek Magic is here!!!   Hope you will make the most of this Midweek Magic and do something amazing for yourself...

Love you all....

14 Boxes

"This is a great day for us all to create our own happiness" 

 Isn't this a beautiful statement? 

 Carrying 14 boxes of household goods to Hangers of Hope was a rewarding experience for me.   Hangers of Hope is certainly more than just a donation center, it's a place to give....... It is great knowing that others can benefit from your giving.  Let me tell you, this place is ALWAYS busy.  People all around are looking and needing affordable prices.

LOL...I am not sure how I did it, because those 14 boxes were physically challenging for me.  The thought that these donations could help families in need, made the effort worthwhile.

This morning, I am feeling soreness in my arms and my legs, from all of bending, squatting and lifting that I did yesterday. 

                * * * * *

Do you make your bed every morning?  

This is a must do for me!  There is just something about knowing your bed is made and  all ready for the covers to be pulled back for another nights rest.  

What about Pillows on your bed?  Do you have a stack of pillows being displayed on your bed each day?  

I have just a few!!!

Every night.....I take them off and every morning I put them back on.  

crazy isn't it?

I suppose I do it because it makes me happy.  

What will I clean today?  

we shall see!
