God Made Me For A Purpose

 

This weekend was a lot of fun. I'm still not feeling 100% but decided I needed to get out and have fun. There was a large festival on in the city Saturday and I decided to go. I messaged a former work colleague and arranged to meet up with her and her husband. I said I wasn't going to drink much but it was outside it was hot and I was enjoying myself.  Always a person to try new things. I had a Red wine with Cola.

 

Apparently it's a Hungarian specialty. Sounded like BS to me but I've never been to Hungary. So, if anyone can enlighten me to the authenticity please do. My thoughts on the drink. I think Red Wine should be drank undiluted and Cola goes best with rum.  

On the other hand they had amazing Rum Punch.

 

 Rum is by far my favourite alcoholic drink and mixing it into a piña colada is the best thing ever. I love pineapple and coconut.  I was planning to stay until the end but I got the bus home at 11pm after overdoing the beverages. Typical.  

Have you ever had that issue with your other half about what to watch on tv. We have an on demand Movie Channel with more than enough movies to cause conflict when people with different tastes try to pick a movie to watch. As we did last night.

I wanted to watch the Omen. The old one with Gregory Peck. He wanted Castaway with Tom Hanks. Eventually after he sat there sulking that I like to control the remote ( actually true).  We eventually found a movie we both like ( a miracle).
So, I settled down with a bag of sour cream and onion chips to watch Chariots Of Fire. I had forgotten how awesome the movie is. Not entirely true to facts but Eric Liddell was a man .of immense faith , dedication and devotion.

I love his quote " I believe that God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast and when I run I feel his pleasure.

 I think we can all take something from that. We may not all be fast but I think God takes pleasure from seeing us excel and enjoy what makes us happy.

  For those people concerned about my appearance from my hospital bed. A pic to show you I am actually back looking my awesome gorgeous self.
