Pleasant Surprises

Well this morning i woke up, ate some breakfast in the den of this beautiful condominium that overlooks the bay. It was beautiful outside.

i was in a TERRIBLE mood this morning. I don't know what happened or why i was this way. I just cried at the drop of a hat and cried pretty much all morning. I'd stop, and then I'd start again. it was horrible!

But thennnn I got over it and we went out to the beach. It was amazing, and just what I needed. I stayed in my shorts and tshirt and sat in the chair, under the umbrella ALL day. I got NO sun, but i kept my feet in the sand and looked at the water. I read part of my book Forgotten God by Francis Chan. Its about the Holy Spirit and how we should be aware of Him all the time. I love it. It's teaching me so much. I highly recommend it.

We came back to the condo and just hung out for a little bit, and then we went down to the cute little pool deck/grill and just got some gumbo and some nachos for the whole table, and my whole family just sat and watched all the SEC football games that were playing on all the tvs and just laughed and talked. It was so relaxing, yet so fun. Some times I resent having a big family, and some times (like tonight) I love it.

My sister and I are about to watch Grey's Anatomy in our room. But first, I must journal-- which i definitely encourage EVERYONE to do! It's important to keep record of what is going on in your life so that you can see afterward how much you GREW and what all you LEARNED while walking through a trial or a struggle.

I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend! Monday is Columbus day which means most people don't have school. I love homeschool. I can have holidays whenever I want. :)

Smile and be positive! Encourage yourself today. You are worth it.

love, me.
