Friday Coffee Talk

Good morning my wonderful Bama family. I pray you all slept good last night. Anyone wanna dance with me? IT IS FRIDAY! Our challenge for today is to just have a good day. Make today good. It doesn't matter what is going on in your life, just make today good. Try not to focus on the issues that could try to make it bad. Think of the good things! It's going to be a GREAT Friday! So, what cha sipping on? Me? I'm enjoying some 1/2 caff Maxwell House. Gotta cut back on the caffine today. It's pretty good. Ya'll enjoy your day! Torey, Allison, and I are running away for the day. Not even sure where we are going, but we are going anyway. I love to do this with them from time to time. Very seldom will I, but I will, check one of them out or let one (or both) stay out of school and have a day of one on one or family day. I think we need it today as this is 2 years that their mom, my wife, Joie passed away. Randall

Good Morning Randall, I believe your idea of having a get-away with your kids today is very important, especially given today's significance. God bless your time together. My brother's friends started a tradition this past year, every anniversary of his death, they will have a dinner at one of the restaurants he managed in his career. This past year we had a special time together, catching up with each other at a restaurant near here. I am sipping my diet iced tea, waiting for my Starbucks Christmas Blend to brew. Have a blessed day. Hugs, Trish

Good Morning Randall. DH and I are "running away" today, too. We are going to Sanibel Island on the West (Gulf ) side of our fair state. It's a much slower pace that our East coast side. Actually, we feel the need for a personal prayer retreat. We have a lot of things going on this year, plus friends and relatives that need our focused prayer right now. We do this by reading the Bible (the same portion of scripture), reading a motivating spiritual book together (such as The Purpose Driven Life, etc.) and prayer. Intersperced with goal setting, walks on the beach and prayers at a beautiful coastal sunset. Rest and Rejuvination for 2008!.....and yes, for these three days I will self deny myself my cafe con leches.... You have a wonderful "get away" day, too. It's my DH's birthday so that's among our celebration, too. luvitsunnyv:
