We survived Spring Break! Shew! It felt like a long week but is was a fun week.
From blogs:
- A new way to judge a book: start by reading page 112. Sounds like an interesting plan. If I’m going to quit reading a book, I stop before 112, so maybe I need to flip there first to see if I would like it.
- We aren’t in a small apartment now, but this is advice we could have used when we were—How to Be Generous with Your Small Apartment
-
What Is An Enough List And How it Helped Me Enjoy Everyday from Storyline
- Since I wrote a series on self-care for the special-needs mom, I had to read this from Desiring God: The Insanity of ‘Self-Care’
- Stephanie from Not Alone wrote about those days you don’t have anything fun/cool/interesting to post on Instagram or Facebook. The normal days. Joy in the Mundane
- My favorite of the week because I can relate to it so much: “You May Be More Like ‘Other Women’ Than You Think” by Shannon Hodde Miller at her.meneutics
From books:
I read A Man Called Ove this week. I don’t think I’m giving too much away to say it’s about an older, lonely man who is trying to kill himself but keeps getting interrupted by neighbors. I loved it. For my birthday I got Habits of Grace and Letters and Life: On Being a Writer, on Being a Christian. I’m excited to start both.
From the Bible:
Lots from Job this week.
“For he will complete what he appoints for me,
and many such things are in his mind.” Job 23:14
