I just may be a morning person afterall!

Lying on the couch I look to my right and see purple and amber rays beaming through the stained glass front door of our cozy 3 bedroom home. On the table next to me is decadence...vegan chocolate chip brownie waffles with pecans and non vegan chocolate...a hand crafted mug billowing with steam from my freshly ground French pressed coffee...creamy and rich...grass green depression glass of fresh cool water condensating, begging to be enjoyed! I pick up my pen and paper to record and savor this moment just as the two four legged monsters wrestle themselves into my dream breakfast...spilling coffee on the rug and almost drowning my waffles! That was a close one...my throat is scratchy from my exclamation (to put it mildly) but I'm breathing deeply again...about to continue reading and taking in the aromas that is perfection this morning.

Busy Busy Busy

There have been a lot of life changes and important occasions lately.

I had a birthday...not much to say... K took me out to an amazing dinner at an eclectic vegetarian restaurant in Dallas where the positive energy was absolutely a two way street. It was the most exciting thing that happened and I'm happy about that.

Three days later...
K and I moved in together!

Initially the "moving in" talk was fueled by my desperation. I mean, who wants to be homeless? He was sweet offering up a place to stay but it definitely made me uneasy and I told him all about it! As you know (if you know me or read this blog), eviction turned out to not be in the cards that time so all the "moving in" talk became more relaxed and turned into a natural progression of our relationship. We couldn't be happier :) Cute little house with the cute little girl army and of course our 4-legged family...happy happy happy!

Four days later...
I'm off to Portland OR for my sisters wedding ceremony.

Its hard leaving a job unfinished (I couldn't really relax) but the timing was not my own. Flew to Portland on a Friday and back to Fort Worth on Sunday. Great to see my sister and dad. She is very happy in her own little world in Portland...I can see the appeal! But that is her town now and she likes it that way :) nothing wrong with that...I'm happy she's happy.

I was able to bring back some great plants and memories of some amazingly fresh produce. Also the environmental awareness was very impressive...and it motivated me to do more. I've recently started bathing in two gallons of water with my Dr. Bronner's tea tree hemp oil soap...brushing my teeth in a cup of water or less...and generally just being more conscious of my carbon footprint.

Happiness

I'm to the point at the moment...maybe its my new minimalistic mentality...or maybe I'm truly realizing that with happiness there is no need to try and complicate things. You are either swimming with the current or against it.
