I really do need to stop and take a breath in this crazy week. What I really need is a few minutes to relax and remember all the wonderful things about the week. That's why I post every Friday and share with others at Friday Fave Fives (follow the link) If I don't do this, I find myself just overwhelmed with the busyness of the week.
1. On Saturday, Younger Daughter and I spent a few hours browsing around the local quilt show. We ran into two friends who are members of the quilt guild and had fun conversations with them. And now Younger Daughter is a member. Here are a couple of samples and an overview of a section of the display (taken from the balcony).
2-3. Tuesday was momentous. Very early in the morning, The Professor drove Younger Daughter to take her NCLEX, which is the exam that prospective nurses must take to be licensed as a registered nurse. Understandably, she was a bit nervous. In the meantime, I drove myself in to have blood work done for my annual exam. While I waited for my dr appt later in the day, Younger Daughter finished the exam and they met me at a coffee place, and we had a chance to just relax and chat. My dr appt went very well, and I am thankful that my PCP and I can talk about health and wellness and basically agree on how to proceed with options.
4. Wednesday morning, we woke up to the noise of an incoming text. "I passed!" Younger Daughter is a NURSE! Three years of classes while working fulltime and raising two children (now teenagers)! She's a warrior! I cannot express the pride we have in her accomplishment and how thankful we are that she is DONE with classes.
5. Last evening, we attended a banquet (cowboy western style in a barn) to support Young Life ministry in our local area. A great time was had by all.
These events are only a few of the activities we had on our schedule this week. Every one is important, but I chose these five as samples of how God has blessed me this week. I hope you have had a good week, too.
