Yesterday was a quiet day... Mostly.

After going out for a snowy adventure with a friend and her pup, I cam home fully intending on working. But again (other than a few very basic things), said work eluded me and the day.

But it is ok.

I had a nice, peaceful day and enjoyed the calm and still of life as snow swirled around outside the doors and windows. I do love a good snowy day.

So much so that we ended up taking another smaller adventure outside that afternoon.

The rest of the day I fought taking an unintentional nap and brainstormed a little bit.

Today I have some orders I have to get ready to send out and maybe more more sketching...

I have a few new screen printing ideas, but haven't gotten the sketches right yet. Harrumph!!!

I continure to fight that inner battle of letting go. I want to live a life where I can relax without feeling guilt, but I constantly feel like I am not doing enough... What a conundrum, eh?!?

Well, today is a mix of sun and cloud. There are still a few white fluffy flakes flying around.

The snow is thick on the ground and I am smiling.

I hope your day is full of adventure!

Effulgence

This day is full of pleasant, brilliant radiance, it is SO beautiful out!

When I woke up the sun was luminous, shining effulgent through glistening snow crystals that were clinging to everything.
It seemed to cast a rose glow on the world.

I was immediately torn on whether to walk along the water or head into the woods.

(which is what I had originally planned for this mornings excursion)

The forest won.

Bursting with frozen wonder.

I was not sad about the final decision.

I feel so lucky to be where I am right now.

As much as I feel anxious to go, it is days like today and moments like those I have shared above that I can slow down and take it all in, appreciating just being here right now.
Satiated.

I wish you a splendidly grand day.

Now go outside and catch that sun!

Today

Today:

-I am daydreaming about our future lives in Maine.

-I am grateful for the love of the sweetest and funniest man I know.

Also today:

-I will snuggle all the animals as hard as I can.

-I will drink endless cups of tea, but will also try to match it with cups of water.

(I have been so bad at that lately!)

-I will smile for no reason... Or maybe there will be a silent reason, who knows.

-I will appreciate the sunshine, especially how it filters beautifully through green leaves in the windows.

-I will not worry so much about what I haven't gotten done and focus on what I have.

-I will read, sketch and knit.

What will you do today?

Everything I need.

Everything I want.

I am totally happy.
