Hi friends, as you read this, hurricane Milton will have come and gone in Florida. I am hoping and praying that I have power today and that the damage has been negligible. However, I am writing this on Wednesday afternoon and right now Milton is a huge threat. But, since I am a Pollyanna, like my friend Jodie, I am focusing on all the best!
Friday Favorites – Hurricane Milton
So, if I can share any advice for dealing with a hurricane, I’d say to control what you can and not worry about what you can’t. This sounds so cliche perhaps but it is true. When we panic and make ourselves sick with worry, we only hurt ourselves and others.
On Wednesday morning as I read my daily devotional by Joyce Meyer “Trusting God Day by Day” this verse really spoke to me. 1 Peter 5:7 ‘cast all our care on God because He cares for us’. Whether you are facing a hurricane or not, I find this very comforting.
One of my favorite things this week, as we were waiting for the hurricane, was to make sure I got my exercise. That may sound silly but I always want to feel my best and one of the ways I do that is through exercise. I need it mentally and physically. Wednesday morning I decided that a little rain would not stop me from getting my walk. I had decided to sleep in rather than get up by 4:30 and get to my boot camp class so I really needed to get out and walk. I brought my umbrella and sure I got wet but I got it done!!
Last weekend I dropped by JCrew Factory and tried on lots of fall fashion. I fell in love with the lady jackets, of course! As I walked out of the dressing room, I spotted this one – on the clearance rack. It was an additional 70% off and with a JCrew credit card an extra 20% off. I am happy to report that I brought this beauty home for less than $45! I bought a size 4 – fits perfectly!
One last fashion favorite – my Brandy Top from Avara is marked down! It is $16 off, I own it in a size small. It is FABULOUS!!! I think you can use my code THISBLONDE15 on top of the sale price.
Well, that does it for this week. Thanks for being here! I’m hoping and praying for a wonderful weekend – how about you?
