Count Your Many Blessings


Source
I always look forward to Monday when I count my many blessings.  It causes me to focus on what's good and right instead of the negatives in life.  I love this printable and I included the link where you can download one for yourself.  You can print it out as a vertical or horizontal and then frame it.  It's a good reminder.

I had such fun this past week.  My friend Theresa loves to kayak.  She enjoys going down rapids in fun places. But since this was my first time, we decided to play it safe.  We rented a kayak for two at Tempe Town Lake. For one and a half hours we kayaked, getting lots of upper body exercise.  I loved it and can't wait to do it again.
We had to go early as the temperatures in Phoenix are hot this time of year.  Of course, we had to get a cold smoothie on Mill Avenue after we finished.

My niece (and godchild) Brittney is heading off to college soon.  I can't believe how quickly she's growing up.  I enjoyed spending an evening with her as we talked and talked.  A movie and The Cheesecake Factory were the perfect combination for a fun evening.

I am so thankful that I had this week off work to rest up, do some much needed organizing and cleaning and have some fun.

  3. The kayaking adventure looks so refreshing. I was outside a lot this weekend at an outdoor wedding and it was invigorating to spend more time in God's nature. (But it was very hot. ha)

    Glad you had a nice week off work.
    May God bless your Monday and new week!

  6. Dear Debbie
    Oh, when I was younger and much healthier, I used to love kayaking! Nice to discover a box of old clothes that is all of a sudden as good as new.
