Today was an exceptionally good day. SO many things happened that have me still feeling happy...so happy in fact, that I want to share a few of them.
I think a list is in order. Imagine that.
1. Had coffee with my friend, Jamie. We hadn't seen each other since before Christmas and had a lot of catching up to do. Four hours of catching up in fact. It was GOOD and my heart needed that time with her today. Jamie is someone that I'm completely at ease with. She isn't shocked or put off by my honest emotions or by anything I say. I love that about her.
2. Came home and talked with HisGirl on the phone. I heart that girl too. She is wise and funny and it feels like I've known her for years! I could have talked to her for hours and I don't even like talking on the phone.
3. We went to church tonight. First time in over 5 years that I've been on a Wednesday night. The churches we've been a part of in the last several years haven't had Wednesday services, but the church we're going to now DOES. John's goal for our family in 2009 is to get connected in this new church, and so we jumped into tonight's activities with both feet.
Gotta tell you I was hesitant. Church on Wednesday nights is a routine that I have easily worked myself out of. I love evenings at home. I love not feeling rushed to get dinner on the table or homework completed before we rush out the door.
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed tonight. It felt comfortable and familiar and very much like a place we belong. It was a surprise and a blessing! I'm pretty sure that my husband felt the same way.

What a great, uplifting post. And your attitude about starting Wednesday night church is refreshing!!
Hi Meredith, just finding your blog. I love all your meal planning ideas!
So glad it went well for you last night. And I would've loved it if I could have been in on that phone call with you two!
Yay for those kinda days!!
I heart days like that and girlfriends like that too!
you totally made my day yesterday... yes with the phone call, but also with the good news that you enjoyed Weds night! that's so awesome, friend.
heh heh, wise....clearly we didn't talk long enough if you got that impression. hehehe
Great news about Wednesday nights. I have to admit, there are times (especiall in the winter), I get aggravated about rushing out the door to church on those nights. But, it's always what I need to push me through the rest of the week.
It sounds like a wonderful day :)! I say any time with friends to just sit and chat is good for your heart!!!
Glad you had a great day. Sounds like fun! And so glad that you have found a church that you are comfortable in...
That's a lot of talking and a lot of coffee!!! :) LOVE.
So glad we had that time together....it was a real treat for me. I'm so happy to have you in my life, Mer! and whooohooo for good days!!
