Linking up for another edition of The Sunday Currently...
Reading: I just finished reading
The Gates of Evangeline. It was a recommendation from People magazine and when
I found it at the library I had to grab it. I think I finished it in three
days. I was hooked and it kept me wanting to read more and more. I hated when I
had to put it down. It’s a great book, full of mystery and intrigue. A little
spooky even- not scary. You find yourself connecting to the characters, even
the protagonist. I also loved that I didn’t call all parts of this book. Though
I did call a good portion of it I always love when some of the ending surprises
me (in an good way). Any book that can throw a twist my way without outraging
me is a good book in my world any day of the week!!
Writing- As of right now, just
this. I did finish an article for our church magazine though that I am pretty
excited to see in print. This is my second one and each time I do one I still
get nervous.
Listening- to the radio in the
car. We road tripped to Tennessee this weekend for my cousins wedding.
Thinking- That I got pretty
blessed to have found the perfect road trip partner! He spoils me. He packs the
car early in the morning, wakes me at 5am so that all I have to do is stumble
to the car and fall back asleep while he drives. Waking up to his bearded face,
driving in the sunshiney morning makes me smile a lot. Even when he tells me I
look a hot mess after I pull my head out from under my blanket, maybe
especially when! Love is all about being open and honest right?! (P.S. I called
him pretty).
Smelling- My coffee and the crisp
Fall weather outside my window.
Wishing- That we could stay
in Tennessee a little longer and continue to watch the leaves change colors,
while spending time with family on the porch. Tennessee is my happy place and
some of my very favorite people live there. Back to Florida it is though.
That’s pretty happy too I guess!
Hoping- That the cooler Florida
weather continues to stick around. It was so nice before we left and apparently
is supposed to be even cooler when we get home!!
Wearing- T-shirt, shorts and
bare feet on the dashboard, my go to road trip attire!
Loving- All the time in the car
this weekend! Time in the car with just my Babe, a book or two and the tunes on
the radio is total perfection to me. So two full days in the car for a one day
wedding is right up my alley!
Wanting- To be super productive
this week! I worked on cleaning out the house all last weekend to prepare for a
garage sale we are having on Friday. It was time to purge, A LOT! So I am
hoping to go through the house again this week and get rid of at least two more
boxes of stuff. Getting rid of stuff is usually really hard for me, but I have
felt this need for simplicity recently so it is time for it all the just GO!
Needing- To see my sister and my sweet nephew baby! I feel like life is
so much more hectic then when all my other nieces and nephews were born. I was
younger and it just seemed easier to carve out time to meet up. But life being
busy doesn’t mean I can’t be more intentional about finding time to visit.
Babies grow so quick and I want to cover him in kisses before he is old enough
to not want as many!
Feeling- At peace. Car rides do
that for me. I think it’s also the reason Flo makes me so happy. I just feel at
peace on the road, there’s not much you can worry about focusing on in the car.
You don’t have connection really to anything except your destination and the
person sitting next to you. Glorious I tell ya!!
Clicking- Through Instagram
and Facebook and Youtube videos- my dad and the guys at Mind, Body and Soul
have a new video they just posted for their recovery race. I’m pretty proud of
them, that’s for sure! My daddy, he’s the handsome man at the end of the video,
with the big heart and a story of fight and redemption.
What are is your Sunday looking like currently?
