5 Good Things | No. 20

Welcome to the first edition of 5 Good Things for 2021! How was everyone’s first full week back at work? Goodness me, it was strange at the school house. No students, and ALL the technology. God bless teachers who have to do this. God bless parents for logging in their child(ren). God bless principals for having to deal with all of us! God bless us, every one! 🙂 Seriously, though, what a strange time to be alive.
Let’s add on the madness that happened in D. C. and we basically have an extension of 2020. I shared a post on my Instagram story from Priscilla Shirer and asked if you were praying for our country. If you aren’t, please start. If you don’t know what to say, just tell God that. He knows.
And now for an awkward pivot….I enjoyed making it a point to find at least 5 good things about each week at the latter half of 2020, so I thought I’d continue it. I’ve got books, a craft, nail polish, a game, and a TV show on deck for you today. You’ll have to let me know if you like any of these things, too.

My, my, my! What a week! I thought I was going to be starting my first full week of school, but Hurricane Sally had other plans for us. Thankfully, all was well in the Norman house. I did have some bright spots during the week and have listed them below for you. One of them was definitely getting to celebrate the upcoming nuptials of Paul’s cousin Cam to his beautiful fiance, Bailey! Did you get a look at all those Normans in one picture? Welcome to the family, Bailey!

Happy September, my friends! I just love that change in the calendar when August gives way to September. Something about seeing that word September makes me so hopeful for fall. I don’t know exactly what it is about this time of year- pumpkin spice, football, falling leaves- whatever it is, it makes me want to put on a pair of boots, get a hot coffee, and walk through a park with orange and yellow and red trees. Now, we won’t see trees that color until about November here in Alabama, and my air conditioner is steadily running, but a girl can dream. And dream I will! So as wonderful as the calendar saying September now is, I do have five more good things to share with you.

My Favorite Fall Accessory

Some of you might say, “Elizabeth, I know your favorite fall accessory is definitely a scarf.” And you’d be making a pretty valid point, but fall in the south is still pretty warm, and the accessory I always pull out first will not make you hot. Continue reading “My Favorite Fall Accessory”
