i am going to focus on gratitude today [View all]

june was a rough month for us, the heat and the stress from the fire really wore me down. thought we were going to survive it, but things went pear shaped last weekend. it was a relatively quick recovery, but stressful all the same. still looking for a place to live, so that's ratcheting up my stress levels, too.

but today is about none of that, today is going to be a good day. the weather has broken for a bit, i spent last night baking bread and getting started on cooking for a party today and am getting ready to finish up. i'm looking at a place this afternoon before we head to the party, the location is not great but the price is right. the party will be fun, i'll get to see one set of my bffs. things have been a shit show between them lately, but i'm hoping we can just have a good time.

my husband is getting fitted for a tux today for a wedding he's in in september, i'm exited about that, too

we deal with enough day to day, that we all deserve time to just enjoy the beauty of this little blue marble and those special people who walk it. you guys are some of those people and i am happy to know you
