Daily 5 - Day 19

Today was a lovely day, filled with some moments that I will hold deeply precious within me for a while, though perhaps I'll eventually share.

In the meantime, here's today's daily 5:
  1. the joy and laughter of children on the amusement park rides (that I was also riding!) at Heritage Park today
  2. a big bag of really sweet, fresh green grapes, purchased at a very affordable price at the Harvest Sale
  3. an incredible, God-ordained moment on another cemetery tour
  4. finding just the right spot (while praying) to sit by the creek in the park for a while and write
  5. wet feet!
  6. (a bonus today!) Chinese take-out for dinner, after a quick stop at mom and dad's to give them the pineapples I'd picked up for them at the harvest sale (2 for $4!)

Sunday Morning Quiet

This has been kind of a crazy week for me and Jesus.

A good week, but a bit crazy, and, just in this moment, one that I don't have a lot of public words for.

I'm planning to spend today quietly, and by myself. I'm think I'll probably go to Heritage Park for a while. Ride the old fashioned amusement rides. Maybe take advantage of the Harvest Fruits and Vegetables Sale that's going on this weekend at turn of the (nineteenth) century prices.

My roommate went camping and hiking, and I don't expect her back until fairly late this evening.

So, I'm planning a quiet day. Maybe a few little excursions, and time in my favorite park. Maybe a movie. But likely mostly just quiet. Reading, resting, thinking, writing, praying, and cleaning. Maybe pulling some supplies off the shelves and doing something creative.

But quiet.

Other than the live webcast of Jason Upton at a church in Texas that's currently playing in the background. Because that is soothing my jangled soul as well.
