TGIF
So how much can a Friday hold? Let me see….
It started with bloggin, then meeting 2 new clients who are young and ready to do the work (a life coach’s dream), lunch with a much loved sister, found a lost, very loved dog that brought joy to a young man who’s heart was hurting (biggest high of the day!), a client who might be rubbing his eyes and waking up to the fact that taking ownership of his life is his only option, emails…emails…emails, phone tag with my Mom, smiling kids with report cards in hand (always nice), phone calls, A bath for Sunshine, one last client who I love and have not connected with a while…lots of laughter and energy, a call letting me know someone I love is facing a huge challenge in their life, then a favorite dinner of Outback and a bowling challenge. “G-Dog” and “Do Getter Done” against “Wildcat” and “Jack-Attack”! Losers treat winners to Tutti Fruiti….”Wildcat” and “Jack-Attack” prevailed and had the biggest helping of yogurt they could fit into their cup, YUM! (did I really eat all that? isn’t my word for 2011 Health???) Finally to text with a new friend, tuck in the “littles” and PLOP into bed. Whew, what a Friday.
Full day, yes. Productive day, yes. Highlights and Lowlights, yes. It always amazes me how much we can fit in to 24 hours, and how many places God touches with his goodness. Everyday is a gift, different and new. We never know what it holds even if we work a calendar well. As we unwrap it may we appreciate all that is tucked in to that gift. It breathes in and out the joys and sorrows that give life it’s meaning.
Unwrapping Saturday with coffee, writing and time with the one who gives me what I need within each 24 hours….”J-Dog” (as my oldest has called him)
Wonder if he would be a good bowling partner? He did walk on water…..
I hear a “little” stirring….Hello Saturday, what have you got in store for me today?
