I love how these Saturday celebrations are making me take a look at my week and finding or re-finding all/many positives that happened during the week! They help me discover the good in life!
1. Internet
The necessary and needed part of my life at school--Internet--finally came back on Wednesday! By Thursday it was actually working on normal speed (meaning that I could download documents).
2. Small Group Ladies
We had almost a month break as the holidays came and then the weather situation kept us home on our regular days. I felt so LOVED at our meeting this Wednesday evening! Heidi, Suzanne and Nancy: YOU ROCK! We had so much fun sharing our words for the year, and articulating what it means for each of us. I think we planned a creative session for our small group. We all want to create visual for our OLW! Can't wait!
3. Babies
Two of my teaching colleagues are having babies in the next week! This is exciting time! Two other babies for colleagues are due in the next month! And a few more later this school year! (Maybe there really is something in the water??)
4. Gym Buddy
I am back to normal schedule hitting my local gym. I love texting with Val at the end of the school day.
"Are you ready to leave?"
"I need 15 more minutes."
"Leaving now, see you there."
We are working on helping each other stay true to our exercise routine, and also to leave school early (=meaning not staying late to work on work that never ends) to enjoy life!
What are you celebrating this week?
I so admire your #4. I really need a gym buddy to help me take time out from the work that never ends! Have a great Jaana!
ReplyDeleteThank Leigh Anne! Just came back from the gym! Without a buddy, I don't think I would have made it today.
DeleteI need a gym buddy too. Sigh!
DeletePerhaps twitter could help us find more gym buddies?
DeleteHow great to have a someone to encourage you to get to the gym! You just never know how much you need something until it disappears, glad you have Internet again.
ReplyDeleteJust met another friend from church at the gym! Maybe there will be more to join Val and me on gym dates.
DeleteAll kinds of good stuff going on, Jaana. And good for you about the gym routine - that takes discipline and commitment..
ReplyDeleteTara, when the big 5-0 is nearing little discipline is good!
DeleteSounds like a great 'back to normal' week, & I too envy your 'gym buddy'. Much to be grateful for there!
ReplyDeleteLinda, I really love these celebrations! It makes me intentionally look for all the positives in my life. You are right, much to be grateful!
DeleteSo much to celebrate!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great way to set the tone for the weekend! Thanks for reading!
DeleteHere's to new babies! My colleague had a baby last week and another teacher's a baby is due in two weeks. Happy for you having a gym buddy and for her having you. Exercise is good, both for the body and the soul.
ReplyDeleteHere is to baby showers! Do you have them in Estonia?
DeleteLove the idea of Saturday Celebrations!!! I'm really trying to cultivate a more positive outlook in my life this year as I live my OLW Flourish. I may just have to borrow your idea and start my own Saturday Celebrations...maybe I could link up with you :)
