a simple strum.

brings joy in the most beautiful way.

sit.

listen.

soak.

absorb.

reflect.

every string. the purity of the sound. the calmness of the melody. the simplicity of the rhythm.

start this week off with some down time. find a guitar playing comrade. use this time to listen and enjoy what is being created. but allow yourself to create something in you too.

someday sundays.

3. poker.



i don't know why i still haven't learned to play. i feel that this is an essential activity that i should know how to do. that is definitely still on my bucket list, and hopefully before i finish college. can't put it off for too long...


enjoy your sunday. enjoy yourself.

twenty one.

so, i just turned 21 recently. as in about a month and a half ago. i still forget that i'm 21. until i walk through the wine aisle and think "wow, i could totally buy something." weird.



here's to being legal. and old. cheers.

smudge.

i have really been enjoying painting the last several months. i hardly ever clean off my palette because i love when all the colors join together and sit on top of each other. i definitely paint more for relaxtion and fun, than for showing others.

but really, some of the great joy comes solely from squeezing the paint onto the palette, and watching the colors and textures form.

paint a picture. be creative. don't be afraid to use color.

2. make ice cream from scratch.

this may have definitely been something i did as a child but it has been so so long. too long.

and really, i'm not picky. anything with chocolate. i'm such a girl.

be sweet.

proud parent.

i got to take my pup to the beach when i went home for a couple days. she is still a pansy. seriously. i cannot get this lab to like water. she hates lakes, pools, oceans, bathtubs. you name it.


but you can't really tell from the photos. my darling mother shot away. she says she likes being a "grandma." hopefully its very clear that this pup is the only baby headed her way for a lonnnng time.

do something for you today. suprise yourself.

1. host a tea party

i love tea, and loving sharing tea time with friends. but i haven't actually had a "dress up, wear gloves, act prim and proper" tea party. that is something i want to do in the very near future.

petal.

no, not the flower.

this is petal :)

she's my new baby. and she definitely acts like a baby. its ridiculous. but oh so fun.

we went to the pool today. i tried to get her to swim. my shoulder has scratch marks to prove it. what a pansy. and i thought labs were supposed to love water.

enjoy your day, go google over cute puppies today. but be careful, its dangerous :)

shalom.

flower.

equals joy.

enough said.

take time to smell the colors and admire their beauty.

shalom.
