Share Four Somethings-February 2022

I am a week behind but better late than never! These past few weeks have been insanely busy!

Welcome back to share four somethings, a monthly link-up hosted by Heather Gerwing (thank you Heather!) where you literally share four somethings on the fourth Saturday of the month. The categories are Something Loved, Something Gleaned, Something Braved, and Something Achieved (new topics for a new year!). Even if you do not participate in the link-up, I would love to hear your four somethings from the last month. 

Something Loved

Bear with me as I have so much to share in this little section!! First, my husband has been studying since last summer to get computer certified. He passed his second test this week and is certified!!

My son finished driver's ed in October and has been waiting to finish the driving portion and get into the DMV to take his test to get his learner's permit...he took and PASSED the test on Monday!

My daughter came home last weekend for spring break and brought two friends with her. They all three sang on the worship team at Church on Sunday. My daughter and one of her friends did a duet as a special song, it was beautiful. 

The file was too big to upload here but if you'd like to see it you can go to this YouTube link.

We had a great week with my daughter's friends. They left this morning and we were sad to see them go! We have one more week with my daughter 😀 before she has to go back.

 Something Gleaned

Last month I was reading Little Pieces of Hope by Todd Doughty and this quote stuck out to me:

"Life isn't long enough to do all you could accomplish. And what a privilege even to be alive. In spite of all the pollutions and horrors, how beautiful this world is. Supposing you only saw the stars once every year. Think what you would think. The wonder of it!"-Tasha Tudor

 Something Braved

I am an introvert, I am happiest when I am at home with my family. However, I stepped outside of my introverted box and have started a book club in my neighborhood! With strangers! While it might not sound like a big deal, it took a lot of courage to put myself out there and get this started. We had our first meeting Thursday night, it was a planning meeting. While it did not go how I had planned, and not as many people who said they were coming, were able to come, it's a start. One person said to me, "I am not a reader, but when I saw what you were trying to do, I wanted to support you. I appreciate you opening the Little Library and I appreciate you doing this (book club). We need more people like you in our neighborhood." It really touched my heart. I am not doing anything special. I wanted to start the library as a way to give back to my neighborhood and community. I started the book club because I love to read and I need more connections with people, in person!

Something Achieved

I opened my Free Little Library last weekend!!! It has been in progress since the beginning of December, so I really felt like I achieved something by getting it done! Feel free to check out the Facebook page for the library 😁

So, what about you? What is something that you have loved in this month? Something you have gleaned? Something achieved and something brave? I would love to hear from you!
