{a week of} pink: the simple things

 

a few of the simple things that made this day brighter...
taking a few moments just for me 
wearing my favorite happy socks and bloomers and even wearing shoes
 

the ritual of making tea 
sitting at the table (without the laptop) with a snack
letting go of keeping my favorite vintage tablecloth for good and using it every day
 

the smell of a warm pumpkin muffin
a dash of homemade whipped cream
a favorite mismatch plate from my college apartment
  

gathering books to inspire and nudge me just a bit
breathing in the quiet
pushing myself to know i am enough

*****
i am playing along with christina today (in my week of pink sort of way). such inspiration in the participants' posts...

Oh, I love your pink stack of books. LOVE THEM!! I think I found a few in your pile that I need to request from the library. Isn't this idea of Christina's such fun? I love how many of us are roaming the blogroads stopping to say hello here and there. So, hello to you. Happy almost-Friday.
