Admittedly, I wallowed a bit on Friday. Â But sometimes I need to be down before I can be up again, so my grief wasn’t all for naught – after a bout of heartache, I eventually climb out of my hole and more genuinely appreciate life’s little blessings. Â And this weekend was full of these glimmers of goodness…
Like my beautiful latte at Vivace on Saturday morning, sipped over a particularly good book club meeting with the ladies.
And my perfect, moist frosting-topped cupcake, a super-thoughtful little gift from Erica.
My new gray wedges and black heels, cause sometimes shoe shopping really is the best medicine.
Sunday morning brunch with Shane at our favorite cozy Irish pub, complete with Mimosas (for Shane), hot coffee (for me), and thick, crispy bacon (for us).
The satisfying feeling of tiredness that came after a run along Lake Washington.
And then spending the rest of the afternoon in my pajamas, drinking tea and painting and listening to the lastest Coldplay album.
I’m also so thankful for the people in my life that pull me out of that hole when I find I’m too tired to climb out of it myself – the kind comments and text messages and hugs and cupcakes are like new shoes for my soul – merci, friends.
