A Different Kind of Weekend

My normal weekend consists of house and laundry cleaning, and church. This weekend I decided to mix it up a bit. On Saturday I convinced my BFF and my daughter to join me at a book signing. We went to the square in Gainesville, ate burgers at The Collegiate, then met with the author and his wife at the local bookstore. It was fun to reminisce and catch up on life. 

However my daughter only agreed to go if a shopping trip was included, so she did get a couple of items. She also commented that we had a good day and she was happy that she was actually social on a Saturday. I was thrilled! Perhaps I can get her out in the world more often. :)

Sunday after church my BFF and I trekked around Gibbs Gardens. I had never been and it was wonderful. Definitely a place I will visit again many times this year. I can hardly wait to drag the daughter there for a bit of photography!

Sometimes I get so bogged down in what I need to do that I forget to look up and enjoy the great adventures around me. Doing so is like learning to sing a new song. Just trying something different, I was able to soak up a ton of joy! 

Psalm 33:3 Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy.
