Wednesday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day we went swimming! At first I thought we may not because it was quite overcast, but the sea was so still and so alluring, we couldn’t help it. Off we went. As we went I talked about how it is important to find joy in the little things. I find myself throughout the day getting excited and joyful over the tiniest of events or pleasures. I get pleasure out of reading my Bible in the morning. I try to remember what I’ve read and I test myself when I’m swimming. I obviously get a huge amount of joy out of being in the ocean. I just can’t help myself in enjoying it. I never regret going to the beach.
Then today I went and had a quick pedicure. Work has been so unbelievably busy, but I had a Zoom call cancel and that freed up an hour. I’m so happy! Pink toenails! Elsie, you would love them! One day, my girl, you and I will go and have a pedicure together.
Other joyful moments, believe it or not is Wordle! It goes so quickly, so I always savour it. I love doing Wordle. If I wake up in the middle of the night, I force myself to wait until morning.
Breakfast is always wonderful because after the swim we are starving.
Bedtime is marvellous! Climbing into bed and feeling so tired and satisfied after a hard day’s work – there’s no better feeling!
Sometimes I have grumpy days and then I turn to rich cups of coffee and comfort food like Aunty Ivy’s biscuits! On those days, I need to dig deep for joy. It doesn’t come naturally.
Anyway, I’ve kicked February off with pink toenails. I’m getting the blog done early because I am going to need to get a bit of extra work done later this evening. I’ll have an eye break in between.
Psalm 32:7
You are my hiding place; You will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.
The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
