- A beautifully white top, purchased to form an outfit.
- Waking to an early morning phone call from my former roommate, L., in the UK. It was lovely to be woken and spend a half hour laughing and catching up on each other's current situations. And, she's acting as a live-in helper to a grumpy 90 year old gentleman, so there was much sympathizing for each other's particularly challenging and trying living situations involving elderly people just presently.
- A short drive to do errands, in the sunshine.
- Feeling like the day was quiet, but oh so very productive.
- The best kind of Sunday, full of things I love, little joys of marking things off lists, conversation with friends and family, emails, good food, and rest.

Daily 5 - Day 248
Today's Daily 5:
Through the Rain
Kelle Hampton's blog is beautiful.
And tonight, these lines from her most recent post caught me deeply: "it hit me...what a beautiful thing it is to be able to fully feel sadness and fear, annoyance and bitterness, loneliness and desperation and to know that they are real and meaningful feelings, but they are replaceable, reversible and recoverable--with time, and the more we submerge ourselves in little pleasures from avocado body butters to inhaling the tiny breaths of a snuggled newborn, the more we learn to accept the duration of the rain, to let it seep deep into our soul to renew parched roots, and to find richer beauty once it subsides and its rewards make themselves known."
may I be a person who learns to accept the duration of the rain, to find refreshing in it, and to let it grow things deep within my soul.

What Kind of Berry Are You?
A Sunday morning quiz! Actually, I've never even tasted this particular berry, though I've heard of it, but parts of the description are very true of me!
| You Are a Açaí Berry |
 On the one hand, you tend to be very controversial. People are always talking about you and trying to figure you out. On the other hand, you are quite wholesome and humble. You don't know what all of the fuss is about. You are unsettled in your life. You're not sure what you want yet, and you're a bit of a searcher. If there's one thing you know, it's that you crave adventure and travels. You want to see as much of the world as you can. |
