God is good and it's been a good week. I started the week with disappointment and allowed anxiety to create an embarrassing moment for me, but I am able to walk past it.
I celebrated my dad's birthday this week. He turned 75 and I had a chance also to join up with my eldest sibling and we took him out to an early dinner after I finished up from work. I've had salmon all week and continued with the trend. They had steak. Not many people reach 75 and even with all the arguments and issues I have with my dad, I am thankful he has been blessed to live three quarters of a century and that he is doing well. He was polite and humble during the outing which was nice to see.
I had a successful finish to this week (well I finished on Wednesday early afternoon to begin a 6 day staycation). My parents who watch my son went on their vacation and are doing reunions and house construction (which has been going on for a month).
I decided to get dressed on Thursday and put my hand accidentally on the very first shirt I put in my closet when I first moved in here. It's a mermaid statement shirt from Walmart that I thought was so cute. That motivated me to really get dressed and head to the aquarium with my son. He wore a Captain of Adorable shirt complete with anchor and we had a great time.
It was a blessing to see him so excited about the sea life and calling out the correct names of creatures he saw in various exhibits. It was also wonderful to see these amazing creatures in a cool and airconditioned environment.
My son is extremely hesitant to put actual food in his mouth that he has never tried before. I bought some soft serve ice cream with oreo cookie crumble on it and he actually ate it and enjoyed it. He is venturing out more and hopefully soon he will eat a full course meal instead of leaning on Pedia sure. I no longer really think it's texture sensitivity but foods have to be put in a positive yummy light.
I like my food and love to cook. Hopefully some of what I do rubs off on him and might do culinary arts.
God helped me find things I needed this week that I didn't even know I had. Jesus helped me to pay rent and the rest of my bills. We have food in the cupboards and one of my sisters came by and joked that my freezer was stocked full to the coming of our Lord and Savior. I do have grains that can last a year or two, no lie. I have bags of barley, a huge jar of farro, an even more huge barrel glass jar (tank?) Basmati rice, bags and bags of chickpeas, beans, amaranth, and more. I could open a small natural foods store.
God is good. He has been good to my family and really good to me. I have 3abn and can watch with free Internet (courtesy of my sister) in my own home. I am going to have a tasty curry salmon steak with a huge fresh spinach salad. I have cool water to drink from my own filtered cistern. And I have a good central air system making each room a dream.
I can't wait to see what else is in store for this weekend.
God is good.
