Everyday Magic

Be a seeker of everyday magic! 

Rushing to get to work this morning, I ran out the door, backpack slung over my shoulder, purse and keys in hand on a mission! I closed and locked the front door and as I turned to continue my rush to start the day I noticed the moon, along with what I believe is Venus and Jupiter. The sight stopped me in my rushing tracks. I set the bags down, got out my phone and snapped a few pictures, savoring this quiet morning on the porch before the sun rose and the neighbors stirred. It felt kind of magical in those few moments on this chilly morning.

And that my friends is what I mean by being a seeker of everyday magic.

Loved!

There’s nothing like a birthday to feel all special and loved! Thank you to everyone who took time out of their day to wish me a happy birthday. All the texts, Facebook and Instagram messages and phone calls were cherished.

I planned on baking myself a cake yesterday, but that didn’t happen. I’ll save it for this weekend. I did however get taken out to dinner by hubby and son. I also got a new sewing machine I can’t wait to play with and ended the day with a little knitting in bed. I was happy, content and oh so thankful for this life I live. Here’s to my 48^th trip around the sun!

Birthday!

Today starts my 48th trip around the sun. Life is so fleeting and I want to celebrate getting a year older, twirl around in a hot pink tulle skirt and enjoy every 525,600 minutes of this 48th year.

The older I get, the more I realize I just need the simple things in life: a comfy home, good food on the table and surrounded by the people that I love.
