What's what: May 2019

Magnolia blossoms at RBG Arboretum in Hamilton. (Apr. 28, 2019)

• Attend the BIC Canada Pastors' Development Day, the first work-related event I've been to since my leave started in late February.
• Celebrate my middle nephew's 3rd birthday.
• Host a drop-in, BYO bowl & spoon dinner for the people in my apartment building (we're having chilli!).
• Start the Soul Play Spring Book Club :
  • "An Altar in the World", Barbara Brown Taylor
  • You can still sign up through the end of June.
• Possibly attend a Preaching Day seminar at Wycliffe College about the Gospel of John.
• Hand-make a small cross-stitch gift for a friend's birthday.
• Get a membership pass to my local conservation areas so I can hike more often.
• Mother's Day! I'm looking forward to celebrating my mom, grandma and sister all in one day!
• Get the gardens ready at my parents' house.
• Look ahead to possibly returning to work at the end of the month. I'm so thankful for wise people around me helping me figure out the timing and the how-to.
• Celebrate my birthday.
  • Sure there's my actual birthday (May 28). Then there's birthday-week.
    ​So why not just go for birthday-month!?! I'm not even sure yet how I want to celebrate, but you can be sure I will!
