I’ve been doing a lot of thinking this week, of things I want to ponder here, but the week has kept me hopping. Maybe tomorrow I can put some of my thoughts into words.

For now, I’m happy to say that though busy, this week has been productive. On Wednesday, I finally mailed off a whole stack of paperwork that I’d been working on for forever – okay, not forever, but it felt like it. What a relief to finally mail it all off!

In the midst of trying to keep my head on straight, I discovered a new chocolate delight! Okay, not new to many, and I will be accused by some friends for going over to the “dark” side to even suggest such a thing – me being the tea connoisseur that I am. :) Blame it on a fellow author who suggested this delicacy and on my own self-indulgence. (I loved her suggestion.) My discovery?

Espresso beans covered in dark chocolate from Starbucks!

I am convinced that heaven will have better flavors, but this taste has to be one of God’s little gifts to His children here on earth. :) Yum! Too bad they are so expensive or I’d buy a huge bag!

On another note, tonight Randy and I went to Bahama Breeze to celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary (which is Sunday). Good food! Reminded me of Hawaii, a trip we took far too long ago. We stopped off at the Bible bookstore after that – bought the new Archeological Study Bible – it looks awesome! And visited Grand Traverse Pie Company. Guess what I discovered there? Dark chocolate covered cherries! Oh yeah!

I didn’t buy any (I do have some self restraint!) But Randy now has a little hint what to buy me next time he needs an idea for a gift. :) One can never go wrong with dark chocolate.

In the midst of my busy week, I found out my brother and sis-in-law are moving eight hours away from us! That’s going to be very hard to get used to, but we all recognize God’s hand in their move. So it will be a good thing. Why is change so difficult, yet at the same time exciting?

The only down side about this week is that I’ve been exhausted so much of the time. I think it could have something to do with Michigan’s dreary weather. We’ve had rain for DAYS! But it looks like the clouds were headed out of town tonight and a beautiful sunset promises a better tomorrow.

Because of course, tomorrow is another day. :)
