A view

This is the view from our new place. An open space with trails. I feel like I have been transported back to Boulder. Super comforting. When we decided to move to Austin, we were full of excitement, nerves, and more excitement. We didn't really anticipate all of the changes. But that is the great thing about this life, the ability to change, to move on, change some more. I am so looking forward to feeling more settled. Takes time, takes time, takes time.

I think I am becoming a plant lady. Let's just leave it at that.

It's amazing how two new dresses hanging in the closet can feel so great.

I have been daydreaming for about two years now about a little bar at our place. And now I finally have an idea and can't wait to share the before and after.

I love how a gloomy rainy day can transform the feeling of the day.

I am in awe by the fact that I am finding comfort in getting back in to my routine of working from home. With so much upheaval, a job that I don't really like is pulling through for me.

We have lots of fun meals planned for this week. Meant to go to the grocery Sunday morning. Didn't go until tonite after work. Ahhh, nothing like putting things off.

I have two little packages to send out soon. Still putting one together, need to unpack a box to send the other. I found an old list of things to do more often. One of the items on the list was sending a post card a month. Never did that. I think a little package or two every couple of months sounds nice.

Today a close friend wrote to me to say he's thinking of moving to Austin. I almost fainted at the thought. To have a close friend here would be too good to be true.

Lately I have been repeating the following phrase in my head: too blessed to be stressed.

You know how poetry reviews recommend that you read their work before submitting? I think I need to start following that advice.

Good night.
