come on mood shift, shift back to good again

what is it with mondays?

i think i got too excited about the snow last night and i convinced myself that we were going to have the day off, so when that didn’t happen, i went crazy for a bit.

after the weekend, i was convinced the week was going start of well, but this morning was messy. thankfully, i told myself to get focused, get working and after canceling several appointments and attending other random meetings, things are working out again.

its just monday.

my mood is shifting back to good again already.

7 happy things today:

1.) this video of rosie’s yoga practice {rosie is an asheville yoga center teacher & this video rocks}

2.) the image i have walking through the empty quad last night in the snow with ananda, margo & gabriella

3.) talking to friends on skype around the world

4.) chai

5.) this song

6.) this photo

7.) this image of sunset in s. india {above}. colors like these only exist in india. . .

 

home for the weekend

i’m currently sitting at summit coffee with the lovely cora sharing a pot of soothing white tea.

kelsey, cora & i went home this weekend to rest, recover and process LIFE.

life moves.

if we don’t take the time to stop & think, we accomplish very little.

that’s what we have devoted this weekend to –

stopping. thinking. cooking. drinking tea. long talks. journaling. napping. {yes, i took a real nap this weekend. maybe the second real nap of my life – cora & i fell asleep on the couch together for a little over an hour & it was magical}

tonight = my birthday dinner with mm & dd and the family & some more reading/sleeping/thinking time. . .

+ photos of frozen europe

+ i support this

+ song of my week

+ also, for those of you who live in chapel hill. go see this exhbition at the ackland.

what is your weekend looking like?
