i love a good spring shower. the kind where the sun is still present + the screen door remains open - letting the refreshing breeze dance it's way in, filling the air with the scent of freshly fallen rain. the lace curtains catching the sun light, showcasing its intricate detail on the windowsill. i love the soft pitter patter of rain drops - as if it is june's way of greeting the world. it is on these days that i feel positively smitten with my surroundings. perfectly content. just as the sea leaves its treasures on shore, so the rain leaves a welcomed blanket of green.
words cannot express my unbelief at the fact that it is already june. where has the year gone? the stress of exams is soon to be over. bye bye grade eleven, hello summer. oh the excitement i feel! despite the short moments of stress, june is one of my favourite months - dreaming of late summer nights, flip flop tans + summer bucket lists - giddy at the thought of being out in the summer sun all day + the many youthful adventures that go along with it. june, please stay a while.
COLD TANGERINES I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. And I don't want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and receipts and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines and sing out loud in the car with the windows open and wear pink shoes and stay up all night laughing and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want to sleep hard on clean white sheets and throw parties and eat ripe tomatoes and read books so good they make me jump up and down, and I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater. > > > s h a u n a n i e q u i s t
a couple weeks ago we spent a beautiful evening with lovely ladies celebrating my dear friend renae's birthday. many stories were accompanied with endless laughter + of course, delightful sparklers and yummy dessert were apart of the festivities. oh, what a lovely night it was. thank you, renae for being such a blessing on my life. i hope this year will be the best one yet.
Welcome to my little corner of the internet! My heart is to share a glimpse into my life - documenting the beautiful simplicity that shapes our everyday. This is life abundantly. _____________
