FINDING JOY IN THE SMALL THINGS

Sometimes on my lunch break I go to the thrift store and wander around. I found a cute little bowl, a vintage ash tray, a really nice New Mexico-ish clay vase, and a cool shirt that ill make into a crop top. I think I spent four dollars total. I got lost in this store and had to speed back to work before my hour was up. Lately, Ive been prioritizing my needs a lot. My one hour lunch break has been a nice time to read or nap, even shop if I want to. For some reason, less guilt comes with keeping this 60 minutes all to myself.

The second half of summer is still quite eventful. Ive been planning for my partner and I’s five year anniversary. Ive been really into redecorating our apartment and upgrading a lot of furniture. I have been working out four to five times a week as well. I am in a really creative space right now and have ideas flying out of my soul non stop. I want to remind you, when you’re feeling really creative and have an idea. Stop what you’re doing and write down your thought and idea before you lose it. You will not remember it the same when you try. The intensity of it won’t be the same and the delivery won’t be the same. If you side step your vision, the universe will assume it isn’t the right time. Im catching ALL OF MINE.

As I’ve said before 2019 feels really special. She is different, she is fearless and a downright savage. A lot of my joy has come from being intentional about every little thing. Smiling as I peruse the thrift store and enjoying that time. Slowly eating a plum that is equally sour and sweet and being thankful for it. Standing on my feet, even when I am tired to make myself a satisfying meal without skipping those extra steps that make it taste so good. All things are abundant if you believe they are.
