In celebrating the small things this week as a part of VikLit's blog hop, I wish to give thanks to God for teaching me to be obedient to him and for being patient with me when it takes a little longer for me.
I have to say this week I'm glad for:
- a great week at work with much less stress than last week
- beautiful weather
- good digestive health
- making progress on my new book of short stories and poetry, now called Salted with Fire
- meeting with my new critique partner for the first time
- leaving work while it's still light outside (thanks daylight savings time!)
- keeping peace in my heart throughout most of the each day.
.... So, did I do good at keeping the celebrations small this week? What big or small things do you have to celebrate for this past week? I'll be coming by to find out!
Keeping peace in one's heart is so good-- it's about remembering who is in control. :)
ReplyDeleteYes it is... a constant remembering.
DeleteHow exciting to meet your critique partner. That's wonderful. Good luck with those short stories and poetry!
ReplyDeleteThanks. It's turning out to be much more work than I anticipated. I seem to be adding more to the premise of it each time I go back to it!
DeleteWonderful celebrations. Glad you are making progress with Salted with Fire, great title by the way!
ReplyDeleteEnjoying the nice weather and a less stressful week at work deserve their individual yays. Keepin peace in our hearts? Priceless.
Thanks SK. I so agree. Thanks for the encouragement.
DeleteSo many good reasons to be happy about! I am glad for you. :)

DeleteLove your new title! Glad you have peace and beautiful weather, and so many good things!
ReplyDeleteOf course right now I'm tired, stressed, bloated and trying to stay calm! Oh how the enemy works. But I've still got a smile. :)
DeleteSounds like you have a lot to be thankful for and that's something else to be thankful for.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend :)
That it is Mark.
DeleteWhat lovely celebrations, keeping peace in your heart is a wonderful thing to choose (and well done you, in stressful times that isn't easy). I am glad you got to meet your CP = how exciting, and are progressing on your writing.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was a great meeting with the CP. We have very similar goals and gave each other some good insight to our writings for the first meeting.
DeleteLovely that you're finding time to celebrate taking care of you.
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed so very important to take care of ourselves.
DeleteNew critique partner? Very cool! Hope yours is as awesome as my partners.
ReplyDeleteMe too Alex
