Rummaging at Garage Sales with a three year old Batman sidekick (the costume made complete with wings) is an adventure and attracts a lot of attention.
Gorillas have an incredible range of facial expressions. I could stand and watch gorillas for hours. They say so much without saying anything at all.
There is no better feeling than being able to use the gifts God gave you (talents, knowledge, finances, and whatever else) to bless other people. I had so many opportunities to do this in May, and I was so blessed for it, whether it be receiving a special picture Dachemie, our Compassion International sponsored child wearing new clothes and standing next to a cow her family was able to purchase, or having the joy of taking photographing a local extended family and capturing some images I love of an 85 year old pair of great grandparents. I’m blessed to be able to teach music almost every day. These things are what make life vibrant, and I love it when I feel like God just made me to do exactly what I’m doing.
Stitch Fix is actually really fun. Everyone seems to be trying it, and because I’m just not a clothes person (I’ll wear my pajamas anywhere, with no shame) I disregarded it for a long time. Then one day I got the crazy, hair brained idea to try it out just to see what all the hoopla is about, and I found out that I really liked getting a box in the mail with surprise contents inside. Since I hate shopping, it was kind of fun to see what someone picked out that I might like to wear. The things in the envelope did actually fit my long list of criteria about clothes I won’t wear (things with colors, things that are sleeveless, things that are fitted or tight, no shorts or skirts that aren’t long, etc.) I definitely would not have even given a couple of the pieces of clothing a second glance if I had come across them in a store, but I ended up liking some of those best. Some of the things I really liked didn’t quite work on me, but I did end up keeping two things that really did work for me. I really hate trying things on in stores. Actually, I just hate going to stores at all, so it was nice to just try the clothes on at home. I hesitate sometimes to order things online or from catalogs because I don’t want to deal with returning something that doesn’t fit or that I don’t like in the end, but all I needed to do when I wanted to return the things I didn’t keep was load them into an envelope and drop it off in the blue mailbox at the post office. I didn’t even have to go inside the post office.
Playing piano with The Banana and her violin is so much more fun than I ever anticipated.
