Feel Good Friday {2}

Hello folks, and happy Friday!  Its been a while since I linked up with The Girl Next Door Grows Up to participate in a Feel Good Friday, so I thought today would be a good day to do so again.....

I received news last week from one of my closest friends that was not happy news.  She is going through a lot right now, and this is one of those situations that makes you ask "why?".  However, in the midst of it all she is smiling, staying positive and not giving up hope for healing...for happy news :) So my FGF is dedicated to this sweet friend.  We met up this week and I brought her some delicious goodies from Gigi's Cupcakes ...

(bless you, Gigi, and all of your cupcake goodness)

We sat and ate and laughed for over an hour.  In the midst of her heartache, she made me feel good.  I left Micky D's (yes, we were actually at Micky D's, drinking some tea, with our Gigi's) and cried.  Not sad tears, I cried happy tears because I am so inspired to stay positive in trials; giving glory to God when life is good, and not forgetting to do so when life is tough too.  

What made you feel good this week?  If you have time, go link up with Erika and share with the [blog] world :) 

Happy, Happy Friday!!

Terrific Tuesday!

Why is it a Terrific Tuesday? 

Well....no real reason at all.

I just wanted to remind myself that I am so blessed and God is so good, all of the time. 

When I am frustrated or stressed or trying to understand 'life' in general, I need to just stop what I am doing, and remember to

choose happiness

....just as dad always said!

What do you do when you're stressed?

Thrifty Thursday | #2

Who doesn't like to save money?! I know I sure do!  I thought it would be fun to bring you another installment of Thrifty Thursday and look forward to reading some feedback!

Today I'm talking about Groupon.  Unlike the last site I mentioned, you do have to purchase the Groupons, but trust me when I say you're still getting a great deal!  Groupon offers a great variety of food, fun activities and accommodations for customers to purchase at a deeply discounted rate.  When you sign up for the service, they send daily emails with coupons to purchase.  As long as enough friends are interested in purchasing the groupon (and by friends I mean folks in your area) then it will be available for purchase...what they call "collective buying power" (See how it works here)!

AND, my new to me favorite feature is on my BlackBerry with the Groupon App.  I get to see what is available right on my phone and make a purchase without having to log on to the computer...easy peasy :)

So head on over to Groupon and take a look around.  Again, go here to how it works and find out if they are in your area :)

Enjoy!

Wednesday Brain Dump

{1} How is it only Wednesday?

{2} Wait...how is it already February? 

Happy Groundhogs Day!

{3} I went to Mellow Mushroom last night with ladies from our Sunday school class.  I had a great time chatting and getting to know some of the girls better, not to mention that  I ate a yummy calzone (and of course brought BL the other half!)!

{4} I would like some fun weekend getaway ideas.  Preferably not far from (or even in, I am ok with stay-cation) Atlanta.  Any ideas?

{5} Loving this song "Dancing in the Minefields" by Andrew Peterson:

Make it a great day!!
