Glimmers

It's Friday, and it's time for my Friday Glimmers.

Glimmers are the moments, activities, and occurrences that brought you joy during the week. Most weeks bring their share of anxiety, frustration, or things that just wear you down. This is where we turn to the glimmers.

Monday, I went to Screen Unseen, where you walk into a theater without knowing what movie is playing. I also met some new people from a movie club I just joined.

Tuesday night, I caught Cliff Beach, a musician, at a free concert with friends.

Wednesday, I taught my AI class, then went straight into my church small group that evening. Somewhere in between, the US won their World Cup match. The World Cup really is such a bonding experience.

Every week has its ups and downs. But look for the glimmers, and let them lead you back to joy.

What's one small glimmer from your week that you almost let slip by unnoticed — and what would it look like to actually pause and let it count?
