Look Out Weekend....HERE I COME !!

I realize it's only Friday, but I feel like I'm already well into the swing of the weekend.  I spent the entire afternoon today with a dear friend.  We participated in a little "retail therapy", had a nice lunch at Applebee's and finished up with Starbucks and people watching.  The weather today was PERFECT!!  It feels like Fall is just around the corner....and I'm ready!

I finally got my valances up in the living room.  I knew what I wanted, but they were on back order.  I can't wait to get my apartment finished.  I still need  a couple strong men to help me move a couple things from the other house.  Heck, at this point, I'm willing to take three or four weaklings if they would help me!  I just want to get everything finished.  I'm tired of living in limbo.  My decorating is almost finished...actually I've done all I can do until I get the other two pieces moved. Oh well, one day maybe a night in shining armor will ride in to the rescue and I'll get the final touches done.

Tomorrow morning I'm planning on joining a group at the riverfront to help feed breakfast to the homeless.  My best friend and I have often talked about how we wanted to do something to help feed the homeless who lived there, but under the present circumstances, I don't think that's going to come to pass, so I'm going to go do it on my own.  It's something I feel like I'm being called to do.  I feel like I am SO self-centered.  I need to do more to help other people and not always concentrate on myself.  I'm trying to force myself OUT of my comfort zone.  I guess there's no time like the present, since  in my practically EVERYTHING in my life has changed in the past few months, I may as well see if I can't just go ahead and push myself over the edge LOL.  In a couple weeks I will be volunteering at the OUT OF THE DARKNESS COMMUNITY WALK for suicide prevention.  Who knows what I'll end up involved with in the future.  I am just praying that God will use me where I'm needed.  My goal for the year was to be happy....and I'm happier than I've been in a very long time.  I think maybe the secret to happiness lies with doing what you can to help others rather than looking around to see what you can do for yourself.

I hope you and yours have a GREAT weekend!!
