I’m feeling very positive today. The sun is out and even though its not especially warm, its nice. I do love fall. Even though I love the heat of summer, and I dread the cold of winter, autumn is a really nice go-between. And spring is a genuine relief that winter is over. Pros and cons.
One thing I’ve been looking forward to is fall clothing. I won’t go on a crazy “fashion” rant, because I don’t really pay attention. I like boots and hats. Last year I was still laughing at people who wore leggings, but I will be the first to admit that I was wrong. I looove them! I bought some really nice ones at Sirens this year. I know. Sirens. Not my favorite store at all, but the leggings are so comfy and warm. Paired with my long sweater, boots, and slouchy hat, I was nice and warm, and if I do say so myself, cute. I actually had someone I don’t often chat with make a point to seek my out to compliment me. I need to remember to do that more. Makes a person feel really good.
We lead worship in church this morning. I enjoyed it more than usual this Sunday. Often, I lead or participate from the piano. It is not always easy to see the congregation from there, or hear anyone around me. But today, I lead from an acoustic guitar, with Brady on a djembe and our friend Ken on bass. Everyone really joined in and praised with us in song. It felt wonderful. I haven’t heard the congregation sing like that in a while. Maybe it was just how the sound was set up, but I’m choosing to believe that people enjoyed the songs and felt God moving this morning.
Now we’re home, feeding Dekker and ourselves. I think we’ll take the afternoon to be comfy and lazy after waking up so early. Then to dishes, and hopefully making some kind of dessert. My parents are coming home from Wetaskiwin this afternoon/evening and are stopping by for supper. It will be nice to catch up. My dad has only been gone this weekend but my mom has been gone for almost two weeks. It feels like its been months. I love my family.
