have a great weekend...

Wow this week was a fast one for me.  I don't like that, I like my days to linger and waltz around me.  I think it's why I get up so crazy early every day. I want more of each day, to do more, be more but to have it feel like it's more of a meandering walk than a sprint.  Here's to a meandering weekend.

"Give me work to do, give me health, give me joy in simple things. Give me an eye for beauty, a tongue for truth, a heart that loves, a mind that reasons, a sympathy that understands. Give me neither malice nor envy, but a true kindness and a noble common sense. At the close of each day, give me a book and friend with whom I can be silent." -S.M. Frazier

"There is a privacy about it which no other season gives you.... In spring, summer and fall people sort of have an open season on each other; only in the winter, in the country, can you have longer, quiet stretches when you can savor belonging to yourself. "   ~Ruth Stout

See ya'll on Monday!

One of my favorites...

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak  - Ecclesiastes 3


Have a good one and I'll see ya'll on Monday.

yearly declaration...

As you know, Andrew Henry and I both have September birthdays.  Each September we declare it our "year of....".  It's kind of like a New Year's Resolution.  We pick some sort of theme and try to weave that into our year.  Last year was our year of  adventure, which led me to start this blog and my Etsy shop.  What an adventure it has been. 

This year we tossed around some ideas and they were all okay but none of them were speaking to me.  We settled on the year of "the road less travelled" and I love it!  It's nothing major just us doing the things we usually, do but in a different way - breaking out of our normal routine. 

For instance on Sunday we went for a morning walk and took a totally new route.  It was nice, saw things we hadn't noticed before.  We drank our orange juice out of wine glasses at breakfast and I've been listening to different music this week.  Same life, just tweaked a little.  So far, so good.

Have a great weekend and a safe Halloween - see you Monday!

 

have a great weekend...

I'm on my way to New York for a vacation right now - goodbye Phoenix heat!  Will be going to the Brooklyn Flea Market tomorrow (might explode from excitement) then off on a "see the fall colors" and celebrate my birthday (next week) cruise to Canada and New England.  I will not be able to visit ya'll as much but do please stop by here because I've got a jewelry giveaway coming up on Monday and some eye candy for the rest of the week.  I'll be taking lots of blotos to share when I get home.

Have a safe and adventurous weekend!
