Homey

Well, I thought about heading out on a little adventure this morning,

or....doing some homey things...like a few projects I have wanted to do.

I sent up a prayer.

I do that when I can't make up my mind.

Then wee Tsunami Jr. rolled in.

I love the quick response !

So I have been enjoying listening to the rain, and other random things like:

Watching you tube videos on growing garlic.

Start my own garlic.[they say start in cups, but glass is prettier.]

Drew a special picture for a special person. 

Organized some of my photos.

Wrote in a few cards to send out.

Thought about working out.

Got on here instead.

I plan to:

Finish this up, then make some hot tea & hunker down with my Rosetta Stone Spanish.

Maybe later, join my girlfriend at the gym...

or

stay in and do some yoga and listen to the rain.

I'm guessing the latter...

it sounds perfect.

I hope you are having a calm and peaceful day.

XOXO

Sad

Because I had a choice.

I could let sadness kick my butt...

or walk away.

So I grabbed my camera, and put on my boots.

*grateful for....

 my Aunt, and the memories that we shared. her love. 

a rainy weekend to slow things down

a sweet little side-kick to keep me entertained

dodging the rain and splashing in puddles.

swishy ponytails

my hubby's love & understanding

plenty of ice-cream....my comfort food of choice

sweet friends

my wonderful family

XOXO

Ice

In the midst of a busy week,

a seemingly random covering of ice...

felt like a divine orchestration to slow things down.

When things seem to be moving at breakneck speed...

I welcome some slow.

Love it even.

XOXO

Rain

 It's always crazy and amazing...

that we get to be a part of this beautiful life...

and what we choose to do with our days .

Playing in the rain...it's simply about finding 

 happiness in the simple things. 

XOXO

Rain

Today I give myself permission

to choose my wants over my shoulds.

I want to curl up on the front porch

with a good book.

Smell the refreshing morning rain.

Listen to the birds sing.

I want to take pictures.

I want to go barefoot all day...

 and delight in a Summer thunder storm.

And if 50 lbs of scared

comes to find comfort on my lap...

I want to delight in that too !

I want to play and create.

And marvel at the little things.

I want to loose myself in daydreams.

So thank you God for the rain !!

You always give us what we need.  

Today I needed a big drenching of You !

These moments are heaven sent.

Thank you !

My little heart is all a flutter.

XOXO

Here's a little smile for you ! 

XOXO
