Actual Joy and Thanksgiving

It was a good weekend. Nothing too extraoridnary but one without drama. These dramaless weekends are rare in my life but recently are happening more often than not. Exciting? YES! I love it. So I am going to praise God for all the things that made me smile this weekend...
1. I survive someone forcing me to go to the gym
2. I got to go into Vancouver on the skytrain with my friend and colleque Dave. There I met someone new who taught me new and interesting things about addiction.
3. I am reading this fantastic and interesting book that was suggested to me called the emotionally heathly church that is helping me to recgonized some issues that I need to deal with. While this sounds like it should be depressing, I am actually at a good place where I want to deal with some things head on so I can get past them.
4. I ate ice cream!
5. Our mexico team took Drime training - it is mime to music. So much fun! We bonded and got over our self consciousness. I got to participate instead of having to be the boss. Seriously so much fun and a great work out. My butt hurts so bad!
6. No one said anything hurtful this morning at church. Actually everyone was really nice.
7. The Calgary Flames won the hockey game against the Vancouver Canucks which gave me bragging rights all day long. I even did a victory dance and was distruptive during the service over it. Hee hee - these dutchies will never get used to me.
8. OOOO they had someone doing actual pottery during the sermon to demonstrate the whole potter and clay thing. So cool!
9. I finally got rid of two big and heavy peices of furniture today. Oh and a hot and nice stranger helped take them away too.
10. I had fun at youth - i started a broomstick war and this absolutely startled and thrilled the boys in my group as i tried to thrash them with sticks. Actually one of the leaders gave them heck for it and was astonished that i had started it. I like to keep them guessing. It may have got out of hand because the pastor got whacked on purpose ( I told them to do that too). Hee hee. All the metal broomsticks were broken by the end of the night. If it wasn't so much fun, i might feel guilty about the waste of them but the bonding was worth every dollar!
11. I had several wonderful conversations with young people where I felt like I was actually helpful.
