Friday Fill-ins

Whew.
The week is over and I am so tired!
But it was a fantastic, wonderful, fulfilling, and joyful week.
The hospital I am working for is close to being open for our first admits and even though that is very exciting, I have been awake a few nights in the middle of the night since I am the one responsible for getting those patients checked in, with insurance verification...
so we can get paid.
I love it.
But the details swim through my head at the most inappropriate time,
like 1:15 a.m.
And honestly, I am flat worn out mentally.
I have good friends who have kept me encouraged.
Thanks to my best, best friends...
getting me out in the middle of the day and going to lunch,
sending sweet "thinking of you" emails,
dinner with my prayer partner/accountability partner that lasted until bedtime,
and the most surprising...
my new co-workers.
Working together for a little over a month now, but we all agree, feels more like a lifetime...
and family.
New for me to enjoy spending time with people I work with
when I am not at work
and blessed to have spent 2 nights this week with some great, gifted, and exceptional women.
As I prepare to go to bed and read a book
(The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo)
I thought I would post a little entertainment.
Friday Fill-in (the blank)

And...here we go!

1. Right now I need sleep...just sleep.

2. Water is what's in my glass - it was Riesling earlier, but just a little. :)

3. A copy of this letter remains tucked away to remind me of how far God has brought me since the time it was written.

4. Peanut Butter is best with a spoon.

5. The best movie I've seen lately is Public Enemies; Johnny Depp was great and I was routing for the bad guy - I couldn't help it!

6. Some of the things I like; turn into things I love.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to Girls Night Out with my co-workers, tomorrow my plans include cycle class, shopping with my oldest and closest friend, and worship services at The Village Church, and Sunday, I want to relax in the morning and have my kids over for family dinner!

Hope your weekend is great too!

I Close My Eyes

Well, I did it. I took the writer's challenge at a blog that I have been lurking around for some time. I found this blog through Laura at Wellblog 's place and have been enthralled ever since. I have dabbled in poetry on and off. Written some invitations, cards, and even a few song lyrics (for fun) but have been hesitant to post any. (roaring lion? see below post ) With the encouragement of a friend, I decided to take the challenge on L.L.Barkat's blog, in a lesson on seeing. I chose a subject that is cherished, a memory that was real and something close to my heart. The beach. Many, many days were spent at the beach in the 12 years I lived on the Southern Virginia coast. The memories are real, and when.......... I close my eyes and I can still see the beach. The endless spans of water Sometimes blue, green, or gray. It moves Gently and Violently Bubbles rise and falling forward. On and on. I close my eyes and I can still hear the crash Of tidal movement As earth slowly spi...

A Promise is a Promise (Grand Canyon)

Many years ago, I am guessing about 19 of them, our family visited the Grand Canyon for one day, on the way home from a trip to California to visit family.  Our eldest son was around 11, our middle one around 9, and our baby was a little over a year old.  Our boys wanted desperately to hike into the canyon, but our oldest one especially so.  He pleaded and my husband and I held firm our "No" as our youngest was too young and we were not outfitted for such an adventure.  I promised that we would return one day. A few months later we moved to the East Coast of Virginia.  Not planned when we stood at the edge of the canyon and that promise was made. And the many times we planned vacation time to the beach, our son reminded me of that promise to go the the Grand Canyon. Time flew quickly and years later we had not returned to the Grand Canyon.  But, we did move to Texas and as we looked at spending time as a family, our oldest son brought this promise bac...
