High five for Friday

A typical Friday will find us hanging out at one of the fine establishments of Bricktown. The name comes from all of the brick in the roads and buildings. There are tons of restaurants but usually we can be found at Tapwerks. I'm reminded of a mountain cabin when I walk in. At the front there's a group of leather couches with a piano and some books to peruse. The bar is long and made of copper. Some of the tables have the same copper and look beat up. I like those tables. The servers recognize us and most times we get great service. If you are in Oklahoma City, you should probably check it out.

Prepare for the weekend

There’s a chance I started the weekend last night since I enjoyed a rooftop party with some new friends. It was great talking about Portland, Oregon, public transit, and art. I am very excited to participate in this years Race for the Cure in Bricktown. I’ve been preparing by running most days for the past month.

My planning and preparations won’t end there. I am looking forward to participating in the local art community. I’ve been looking for a grant to present some of my best photos. Hopefully soon, I will add artist to my list of accomplishments.

Finally in honor of reducing stress, I recommend listening to music and doing a mindless relaxing activity. Yesterday was quite stressful and I look forward to my tunes, a good book at lunch, and a nice run after work. Today will be a good day because I decided it. We all have control over our own thoughts. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Dear Lord, Thank you for your wisdom and patience with me as I continue to learn how to honor you in my life. Amen!
