Today's Bliss: Rest

I cannot believe that it has been two weeks since my last post! I have been working and running around a lot...leaving no time for thinking or writing. After a very full two weeks, I have had this weekend to catch up on some rest, get some time to reconnect with N, and enjoy my home. I am a person who needs peace and uninterrupted quiet to recharge and refuel. This is what has been missing lately! I am grateful for time to just take a breath, catch up on things, and chill out.

Today is Palm Sunday, a day to celebrate Christ - God's ultimate gift to us. I wish I was better at showing that gift to the world...telling people that their stress and frustration can be healed at the feet of Jesus. In fact, I need to remember that myself lately! God gives, gives, gives to us in so many ways. Patience, love, grace, loyalty, forgiveness, understanding, peace, mercy, the list of His gifts could go on and on. I celebrate His giving this Palm Sunday. Celebrate what I have and all that I am; celebrate the opportunities and hope I see around me; celebrate my family and friends; celebrate my blessings.

Resting in His love + spending time with my true love and partner N = Bliss.

Today's Bliss: Free Time

Last month, a moment of free time was difficult to find. I felt like I was running in circles, constantly checking things off of a list! But this month has been completely different so far. What a great relief.

I am really not a fan of January or February, full of cold, cloudy days and darkness more than light. But as I search for the bright side of this winter season, it has been easy for me to see this year: time at home every evening after work with very short to-do lists! I have been reading novels, playing games on our new Kindle, watching television, lounging around on the couch, surfing the internet...I know I sound lazy, but this is list describes a blissful life for a homebody like me, especially during this season of the year. N and I have even had time to read a couple's devotional book together everyday, which has sparked some interesting discussions for us. I have really enjoyed this time at home and I am grateful for the opportunity to recharge my batteries before a busier spring season arrives.

I am looking forward to a 3-day weekend ahead of me. I hope you have one, too! If you need me, I'll be snuggled up on the couch with a book, my dog, my husband, and a remote. Have a blissful weekend!
