The past six days have been filled with moving, job hunting, friend-being and love.
I've come to a couple of really good conclusions recently.
I get caught up in nit-picking my life apart--the conclusion? I don't need my life to be perfect in order to be happy. And frankly, I don't even know what perfect means. I love being happy with how and who I am without going toward some imaginary standard... I am my own standard, and goodness knows I am plenty of a challenge to keep me on my toes.
I love being a good friend. And I love having good friends. To the new and the old, much love and gratitude!
I love spending time with my Mama! This isn't a new idea, just a reminder.
I love taking space and giving space. Space doesn't mean anything is ending, space means you understand your own and others' needs and wishes. Both gave and took space recently and all of life is better for it!
Call me silly, but I love paying for things in change. I had a huge change jar and have been using that for the past couple of days to purchase things... one change jar in my world has thus far equaled a bottled of wine, some splurge strawberry milk, a liter of diet coke for a friend pulling an all-nighter, some gas, and  a cup of coffee and a scone this morning! Cool, huh? I think so.
Here's a really new thought, the new place I am living doesn't have internet. And it's pretty cool. I am grateful that instead of hopping online before I go to sleep I am doing something more creative like reading or writing or drawing. I love feeling like I am creating rather than absorbing as my last act of the day.
What are you lovin' these days? Leave a comment if you want!

Love and Gratitude, ya'll!
Arie.
