Happy Friday, friends! It’s been a couple weeks since my last fabulous friday post, but I’m happy to be back today. Taking the time to make note of what I love always gets the weekend off on a great note!
Here are 5 things I’m loving right now:
1. Springtime! The weather this week has been absolutely gorgeous, and all the trees are bursting into bloom. Not to mention it staying light out past dinnertime thanks to Daylight Savings — it feels like the transition from winter to summer has officially begun. I love this time of year!
2. My friend Kelsey’s laugh. This girl has one of the most beautiful, contagious, joy-filled laughs I’ve ever heard. I talked with her on the phone this morning for the first time in a while, and it was wonderful to hear her voice and her laugh. It’s been a couple hours since we hung up, and I’m still feeling happy from talking to her.
3. Oatmeal with strawberries. All this week I’ve swapped out my usual apple-and-peanut-butter oatmeal for strawberries-and-vanilla-ricemilk oatmeal, and I’m loving it.
4. Wisdom from some of my favorite bloggers, particularly these posts:
- “on happiness, joy & a lonely place” and “on life after a break-up” {especially the final lines… so very true!} from sometimes.always.never
- “why I’m gushing over coconut oil” from the real-life rd
- “follow your dream” and “success on your terms” from heather waxman {who is also doing an amazing “love yourself” meditation series right now!}
5. This beautiful video {thanks Allyn for sending it to me!}: 20 strangers kiss for the first time
Now I’m off to the gym and to run some errands! Tonight should be a low-key, catch-up-on-New-Girl-episodes kind of night, but this weekend is gearing up to be busy with fun plans. {brunch! birthday celebrations! double date!} I’ll be back on Sunday or Monday with a goals post/recap, but in the meantime I want to leave you with these two quotes that have really been speaking to me lately:
“The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.” -Bertrand Russell
“If you try too carefully to plan your life, the danger is that you will succeed — succeed in narrowing your options, closing off avenues of adventure that cannot now be imagined.” -Harlan Cleveland
Questions for the day:
- What are you loving right now?
- What are your plans for the weekend?
