Happy Saturday, friends! I'm so glad you're here to join in with us for this month's Share 4 Somethings, where we'll talk about some things we loved, some things we learned, some things that went well, and some things we let go of. I'll jump right in!
I loved a lot of this this month!
The Salad Station...
...and having coffee with friends!
This month I learned (yet again) that I am strong, capable, and worth the effort. I have so much more I want to say about this and what I've been up to the last six weeks, but I'll share more when or if the time is right.
But this cracks me up!
Something that went well this month was the fact that my divorce was finalized. Is it too soon to joke about this?! Asking for a friend! 🤣
Something I let go of this month is getting mad over things that no longer matter. The past is in the past, and this is me officially not caring.
I took this Red Bull to my friend at work on Thursday; I don't drink these things, but I didn't mind buying it for my friend! I also took a Coke and a brownie, because it had been a long day and it was getting longer.
That was me taking an epic nap on Sunday after church; I woke up and didn't know what day it was! 🤣
I'm so glad you're here to link up with me this month! I'm excited about reading your posts. Thanks for reading my blog, friends. Love to all and happy Saturday!
Jenn ❤️
Your letting go is so good! I know you're as glad as one can be about the situation for it to be over. It must be a huge relief; you have such a great support group who will be with you every step of the way in the new, next phase of your life. You got this!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I've been working on that a lot these last few months. I'm not great at it, but I'm getting better at it with each passing day. I do have amazing friends (in this sweet blog space included), and with Jesus, my family and friends, I can do anything!
DeleteI'm sure it feels very freeing to let go of caring about what you cannot control or change. You seem to have a good group of friends around you and better days ahead. I love the little Naans in hummus and I've also started buying tzatziki to dip them in and that's also delicious. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt does feel freeing! The Lord has done a tremendous work in my heart, and I am so grateful for that. I love tzatziki dip! I'll have to try that next. Thanks for the rec! Happy weekend to you, my friend!
DeleteThis is amazing: "I learned (yet again) that I am strong, capable, and worth the effort." - both that you are strong and capable AND that you're aware of it! Congratulations on leaving a bad situation and taking agency to create a better life. That takes courage!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's been a whole process that I'm still going through. God has been faithful! I wasn't in a bad situation, though...the marriage was wonderful until it wasn't for him. That's when everything changed and he said that he wanted a divorce. He was never abusive to me, but was (at one time) a great husband and is still an amazing dad to our sons. I just wanted to clarify that for anyone reading this...I don't want to make the marriage into something it wasn't. It was wonderful for many years, until it wasn't for him.
DeleteThank you for your kind words of encouragement!
Thanks so much for hosting! You have so many wonderful favorites this month.
ReplyDeleteI'm such a terrible host, because I always forget to remind people that it's coming up! But I'm glad to do this each month. I love it, too!
DeleteMmmm...now I want some naan, hummus and tzatziki! Letting go is hard, but it feels so good.
ReplyDeleteIt's so good! I hope you get some soon. You are so right about it being hard, but feeling great.
DeleteIt sounds like overall it was a great month. I love that you took an "epic nap" and didn't know what day it was, LOL! Thanks for hosting and sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great month overall! I got tickled over not knowing what day it was. Those are the best naps!
DeleteThe salad looks so tasty and Chloe is just adorable.
ReplyDeleteYou are such an inspirational woman and have proved how strong you are over the last year!
That salad is my favorite! I ate there again yesterday. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement, friend. I appreciate that more than you know!
DeleteI cringe when I see store bought factory made hummus. Everyone here in the Gulf makes this at home, easy and better than these preservative laden fakes. Just blend in a food processor canned garbanzo beans, tahini, salt, raw chopped garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, cumin and enough water to make a smooth puree. Top with olive oil and sprinkle of sumac or lemon pepper.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it's no match for the real thing! Thanks for sharing that recipe, I want to make it myself soon.
DeleteI think it's a good sign you can joke about it. You've been thru the wringer emotionally but now you have processed and ready to move on. Doesn't diminish the marriage in it's entirety, just the difficult time at the end. And even if it's a harmonious split, it's still exhausting and emotionally difficult. So well done you, getting to where you are with a smile and a laugh! The car wash picture is great!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a good (healthy) sign, too! Thank you for your kind words. I'm glad this chapter of life is closed so that I can move forward. I have big plans!
DeleteI have never been to Carrington Oaks! Maybe we can go there one day. But of course, I am always up for some Salad Station!
ReplyDeleteYes! So much to love and celebrate this month! XO
ReplyDeleteI love what you learned!
