this week #34

IT IS OFFICIALLY THE BEST MONTH OF THE YEAR! May! I’m biased because it is my birthday month, but also the weather is fab, the pool opens, it’s almost summer, and it used to be the last month of school (when I was a kid). What’s not to love?! I hope you’re having a great… Continue reading

It is a beautiful week here in Virginia! The sun is shining, the temps are just right, and everything’s so green. I love it. Is there anything better than opening up the blinds to a gloriously bright day in the morning?! I think not. It’s been a very fun week and this weekend should be… Continue reading

ALLERGIES. That is my word of the week! The pollen count has been slowly growing, and this week it is really real. I thought I had escaped the worst of it, but now I have stuffy ears and a sore throat and generally feel tired in my face – you know what I mean?! Aside… Continue reading

It’s interesting to me to read about other people’s perspectives on the world or experiences. I enjoy this when it’s a deep reflection or simply an update about someone’s week! I started… Continue reading

Happy spring! Well, not quite, but close enough! It was a beautiful 70 degree here in the DC area yesterday, and I am overjoyed. I went on a very sunny run during my lunch break, too. All around fantastic. After a busy week last week, followed by a weekend full of running and sleeping, it… Continue reading

Three Ordinary Things
I knew I wanted to write today but was coming up short on ideas. I googled some journaling prompts and came across this one: “What three ordinary things bring you the most joy?” It immediately reminded me of a quote in a poetry book I started reading last night! And so, I decided I will… Continue reading

Half Formed Thoughts

I’ve had a topic that I’ve wanted to write about all week. It’s been a half formed idea that’s been floating around in my brain since last weekend but, every time I sit down to write, my brain fizzles out and can’t muster up quite enough power to make it happen. Maybe because this week… Continue reading
