is right now

Today I did lots of small good things for myself; things that I never seem to have time to do anymore:

I made my space more alive: I deep-cleaned my room, reorganized my lovely little things to be less cluttered and more fresh. I filled a box with clothes and shoes and picture frames that I can do without. I washed all my blankets and fluffed my pillows. 

I picked white lilacs, filling a mason jar with their stems & my room with their scent. 

I opened a new bottle of red wine & sipped it while cooking myself a yummy, healthy dinner. 

I discovered and listened to new music. 

I read a magazine and had afternoon coffee, for one.

I carefully packaged a vintage blazer, sent with love to Norway.  

I found the sweetest new blog. 

I worked out, hard. 

These things seem slight, but put them all together in one day and I feel centered, at peace, and more in tune with myself than I have in weeks. I'm hardly ever alone these days, and I forget how much I need that until I get it. I'm so blessed. Love.

one more day to enter to win gorgeous spring vintage!
