Sunday Matters: New, New, All The New

12 Comments

Sunday Matters

I DO like it very much when all the Christmas stuff is put away. But I don’t do resolutions and I don’t have a need to revamp my diet in any way since I’ve been watching it all through the holidays. I just like NEW. A fresh start is always good.

Right Now:

High School ministry kicks off again this morning so I will take a few moments to prepare for that. My son left for college so it’s pretty quiet right now.

This Week:

I made the very smart move to take Monday off as a vacation day so I don’t return to work until Tuesday even though the campus reopened last Thursday. My daughter is still out this week so she’s pretty lucky. She starts behind-the-wheel driver’s training next Sunday!

Reading:

I picked A Good Neighborhood for my #firstbook of the year. I am really liking it so far. There’s definite tension that I’m sensing.

Watching:

I said I was going to start The Crown but I haven’t yet. I actually squeezed a few more Hallmark Christmas movies in just to get them off the DVR.

Making:

I made Million Dollar Spaghetti the other night. It was good but super rich. I think it would be fabulous to serve to a large group of people though.

Grateful for:

I’ve been hovering between hopefulness and a bad attitude. Personally, things are good but work is continuing to be a challenge and I don’t like it chipping its way into my personal space. I’m grateful to have some good people at work to ride the wave with me.

How is the new year treating you so far?

Sunday Matters: Losing Track of Days

Sunday Matters

The sign of a good vacation is not knowing what day it is. I am at the point now and had to check the calendar to make sure this posted on the right day and even then, I was late to post it.

Right Now:

My church takes a break this week and only provides an online service so I watched from the comfort of my couch. Our plans got all mixed up this past week due to weather. We are rescheduling Disney but the day we chose is also expecting horrible weather now. What can you do? The Hub goes back to work soon and my son is only here for so long so we will have to deal with the weather.

My view as I headed out the other day.

This Week:

No plans for New Year’s Eve. I think my son and daughter have their own plans. New Year’s Day I usually make dumplings and just hang out. My gluten free version is always a challenge. It’s one of the few, good memories I have of my father. He always made Tibetan dumplings on New Year’s Day.

Reading:

My First Book of 2020 is A Good Neighborhood so I will start that this week. My Goodread’s reading goal was not met this year. I tanked in September and could not get it together. Work caused me stress and it carried over into my beloved reading time. All I want to do is read good books. Is that so hard?

Watching:

I’m starting The Crown this week. Too many have recommended it.

We saw the latest Star Wars movie. I liked it better than the last installment.

My husband has found the show Live PD. I have lost brain cells because of it.

New Things I’ve Tried:

I’ve had a couple of bills go missing in the mail so now I am paying them online again. I used to, until a major screw-up took place that caused me to go old school but I will give it another shot.

Grateful for:

My family went to a football game today so I had a little time to organize things. I feel better when things have their own place so I’m grateful for the extra time.

What’s up with you? This is posting so late I probably missed most of you!
