Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn, or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.
The weekend arrived and it was time to push my worries, and doubts aside. It's been a long two weeks with everything that has been going on with the shutdown, on top of many other things. This weekend I just let go and reminded myself just how thankful I am. This weekend the air was cool, with a slight breeze. The streets are covered in autumn leaves, and the sun attempted to make an appearance through the clouds. We spent most of our time indoors. My husband made some delicious caramel popcorn, which was amazing. We recently purchased a popcorn maker since we had a popcorn recipe book sitting around collecting dust. It's been nice experimenting with the different recipes.
We also cooked up a delicious dinner, we had lasagna stuffed shells. I'm not sure if it's the weather, but we have been spending a lot of time on new recipes. :) I of course did not get around to making my cookies and cream fudge until today. That was actually on my to-do list for the weekend.
Tea time is a favorite time for our little one. She loves to set up her dolls, and serve up delicious play pastries. We're always up for joining in, and she makes sure we all have a tea cup along with a saucer. (I'm sure when she's older and no longer shows interest in tea parties, I will miss it.)
Over the weekend I was just so thankful to spend it with my family and enjoy the simple things in life. We cooked, relaxed, and just enjoyed our time together. How did you spend your weekend? I'd love to hear about it! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend spent with your loved ones. Until next time, thank you for stopping by and reading! (New followers, and Google+ friends, welcome! I'm so happy to have you here.)
Hi Stephanie!! I so cherish my weekends also. Time is flying by and the kids have gotten older, so we're holding onto every moment spent with them! Thanks for the reminder to hold dear our loved ones! Have a blessed week my friend..I'll be keeping you and your family in my prayers! :)
ReplyDeleteMichell, thank you for your kind words. I really do appreciate it. I'm so happy to hear that you are holding onto every moment spent with your children. Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful rest of your week.
DeleteThat popcorn looks SO good!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a good weekend; we did too! Saturday we went to a big bonfire and did hayrides and roasted marshmellows. Then Sunday spent the day watching football together.
Angela, thank you! I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed your weekend as well. That sounds like a whole lot of fun! Hayrides are always so fun. Thanks so much for stopping by. :)
DeleteI'm so glad you were able to let it all go and enjoy your time with them. The foods look delicious. I'm working on letting go too, it's not easy, but the shutdown combined with all of life's other worries is just dragging me down and it's time to stop the worrying.
ReplyDeleteJennifer, thank you. I really do need to just let things go, and let it be. It really does help when we do this. :) Thank you my friend. :)
