I imagine that this post seems pretty obvious in nature, but today I am choosing to be thankful for weekends! Specifically, autumn weekends since that’s where we are right now and the weekends have been pretty darn stellar, I must say.
My top 5 things to love about autumn weekends:
5) Fall recreation league soccer. Soccer season for Macey is now over for this season, but we all enjoy going to soccer games on Saturdays. (And some Sundays) Macey has such a sweet team. These girls play hard and work well together. While they may not have the most winning record ever, admittedly, they play with a whole lot of heart and that matters more in the grand scheme of life. Macey enjoys playing, Mickey enjoys coaching and Mariana and I enjoy attending the games. It’s great for our family!
4) Football! I seriously love me some football, y’all. With the exception of one (ugly, heartbreaking…) loss, the Georgia Bulldogs are having a great season and are up to #5 in the BCS right now. Love it!! And, as a long-time Falcons fan, I am thrilled that they are currently 8-0 and looking great too. This football season is going just right for this fan.
3) Sleeping in on weekends. Okay, fine…so what if “sleeping in” is now anything beyond 7am. It still counts. At least we don’t usually have to set alarms and roll out before the sun shines in the mornings. Ahhh. Every little extra minute beyond our week-day wake-up time of 6:15am is golden.
2) Chances to take in the beautiful scenery. We are having a really colorful autumn this year. The leaves are all ablaze and it’s just amazing to look around and see all the trees putting on one final splendor before winter. Wherever we look, we see God’s artistry and it’s just awesome!
1) Family time. This falls under any season of the year, really. Weekends are a great time to plan fun family outings or just enjoy vegging at home together.
So, that’s my day 10 thankful — weekends. And, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!
Be blessed, y’all…
