It’s Friday, and I’m back!
Fridays are made for fun!
So, let’s go have some!
Get outside. Run, jump, and play.
Do something fun.
Swim, run, hike, or just enjoy the day.
Don’t stop until it’s done.

Friday Fun Day
On Saturday 😂
Well, it’s been a while, and really, Friday Fun Day is way overdue!
My apologies. I suppose, I’ve been a bit distracted from writing lately, or at least, from writing the “fun stuff.”
So, without further ado, let’s have a Friday Fun Day, and since today is Saturday, there’s no better time than the present! 😉
Don’t delay! Get outside. Take a road trip. Hike a mountain. Ride a bike. Stroll along the beach, or maybe just step into your back yard, beyond the chaos and the noise.
Breathe deep.
Exhale slowly.
Remember, the Creator of the Universe loves you.
Although chaos is all around in our world, He can bring perfect peace to your heart.
Just speak His name. Take a moment to talk with Him.
He will listen. Your heart will be changed.
And your Friday Fun Days can begin even on a Saturday. 💕
Whimsical Wednesday
Are you whimsical, you mighty, magnetic beast?
Are you playful, fun-loving and free?
Your roar makes my heart tremble with trepidation.
Your paws make my eyes widen with awareness.
Your power is unmatched and unrivaled.
Your strength is uncontainable and unrefined.
Your tenacity is unfathomable and uncontrollable.
I stand in humble awe of all that You are.
Yet, in all your power, and in all your might, You loved me still.
In all Your awesome, overwhelming sovereignty, You entice me to stay near.
Your fierce protection and unyielding dominance gives way to mercy in me.
Your relentless graces consumes my wayward soul and calls me back to You.

This place was amazing. We went for Valentine’s Day, and although we didn’t make reservations, we ended up with a great table and a great server.

It’s Friday Fun Day! 😜
Whimsical Wednesday
My mind is swirling with so many deadlines and appointments.
I almost feel overwhelmed with all the expectations to be have been sent.
Yet, I will stop and take a moment to breathe.
If I don’t, I only find my sword unsheathed.
Whimsical Wednesdays sometimes remain in my mind rather in reality, but that’s ok, as long as my perspective on Him remains in centrality. 😉

Tuesday’s Treats #200
Paperlo
Location: Kyiv, Ukraine
This place was has just the neatest decor and atmosphere. The staff is friendly and some can speak a little English. The food is delicious, and again, the decor is just really cool. (Lots of pics on this one; so, get ready!)
The food was phenomenal, and the menu was completely in Ukrainian; so, our friends told us things on the menu and ordered for us. As you can see, we ate like kings.
We started with a cheese plate that was delicious. It had four different types of cheeses and honey and ground coffee to dip. Now, I know, that sounds crazy, but it was SO good! They also had brought a type of dried beef, like beef jerky. It had a little kick of spice, and it was great. Our friend ordered a plate of, what I would call, bruschetta. I’m not sure what it is called there, and I don’t eat raw tomatoes all that much, but she said it was delicious.
My husband (and our oldest) ordered a burger that was about as big as his head! He had to squish it to try to eat it, and he eventually just eat it with a fork and knife. 😂 I ordered a steak and grilled veggies, and it was scrumptious. Our youngest ordered a cheese pizza. It was different, as it didn’t have red sauce on it, but it was very tasty.
We also ordered some drinks like (non-alcoholic) mojitos. One had ginger and lemon and the other was apple. They both were good; I liked the ginger and lemon best.
We had so much food; we were stuffed and couldn’t finish it all! We so enjoyed this food, and we look forward to visiting again when we return to Ukraine.
The Website appears to be in Ukrainian, but I didn’t peruse all through time see if there is a language selection. They also have a FB page.
Here are some more pics of the cool decor.
Friday Fun Day
A little late, but done anyway…😂
Friday Fun Day came a day late this week as I battled not feeling well throughout the days, and then, our oldest asked me to take him and his little crew of friends to the mountains yesterday.
Oh what a beautiful day to end a dreary, rainy, sickness filled week.
Sometimes, things don’t happen in the timeline we’d prefer, but nevertheless, don’t let that stop the fun!
If you didn’t get your Friday Fun Day this week, you’ve still got time. Get out and smell the roses. Chase a waterfall. Soak up some sun.
Take a deep breath and breathe it all in.
Remember:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. (Author unknown)
Go have a Friday Fun Day even on Sunday! 😊
Whimsical Wednesday
Oh, Whimsical Wednesday
Where is your whimsical way?
I feel a little weary in this rainy, cold, blustery atmosphere.
I’d feel better if the warm, cozy, bright sunshine were near.
Yet, I am reminded, it shouldn’t be the outside that brings me cause and effect.
It should be the inside, the inner workings, my deep, hidden thoughts I should dissect.
In these, I find the wayward blues and those things that distract my way.
So, I will throw out the negatives and bring sunny smiles back into my day.
I will perform a little surgery on my soul and my mind.
Remembering to Whom I am to look and to whose words I am to align.
