Today is a lovely one…
I am getting ready for a temporary move to be with my husband on a stateside deployment. I have the lovely house-sitter arranged, and I have started my long list of things that I must do before I leave. In the midst of that, I still have school assignments that must be attended to, and household responsibilities that I cannot neglect.
I just discovered what may be the best invention: I am a pluviophile- I love the sound of rain, and this website is the epitome of the beauty of it. That and my playlist on Pandora, including but not limited to: Hans Zimmer, Classical instrumental piano and trumpet, Les Misérables, and some good ol'fashioned bluegrass. Do this, listen to both at the same time and I guarantee your productivity will increase, I am loving every minute of it.
This also reminded me of a few of my random favorites. So I'll share them today:
1. Darling Magazine, a wonderful magazine that encapsulates the "art of being woman," you can check out their site here. And please do, you won't be disappointed.
2. Sharpie markers, most especially the fine tip ones!
3. Classical and movie score soundtracks while hitting the books.
4. Essie nail polish
5. Anemones (you know, the pretty white flowers with the black center)
6. Leather bound journals
7. Summertime and trips to the beach
8. Dark chocolate, especially with a hint of sea-salted caramel. Yumm.
9. Spending time with people I love-over a cup of coffee, while taking a walk, sitting for a long time in a comfy place, or while sharing a meal. I am a "quality time" person.
10. Music sung A Capella such as these guys: Celtic Thunder, Pentatonix, Walk off the Earth, or Straight no Chaser
Everyone has their list, and this mine. Perhaps today, you can find the list of someone important to you and share with them one of their favorite things to make their day a little lovelier. When you love you live, when you give, you are showing love.
Just as Jack Kerouac stated, "Be in love with your life. Every minute of it."
This is just a simple way to love your life and be present in it. I encourage you to find the little things in life that you enjoy, and help others find delight in life too. It doesn't have to be incredible-one of my favorite things is a cup full of Sharpies :)
