La vie en rose #2

no source

I often wonder why exactly I'm blogging. I can never pin down one convincing reason but it's something (a habit?) I can't yet kick...but what a beautiful thing to have! To be able to collect thoughts, inspiration and memories and look back on what filled my days in time to come.

Today marks my second "la vie en rose" post; all about a little acknowledgment for the simplest, rosiest things in life.

1. I'm not a messy type. Promise, but when my car looks like this, with a week's worth of life on the
passenger floor, I know it's been a good one!

2. A fresh breath of cello-tuned-air! Literally.
I walked past the most beautiful notes singing from a cellist's front door.

3. Getting organised. Even just a little.

4. I've become so busy I'm "bad with my phone." Hurrah!
Loving that the glue has peeled a tad between my cheek and phone.

5.  No nail polish on my digits.

6. Friends. Really, really good ones!

7. I baked that cheesecake and it was D-elicious.
8. I know, I say it a lot. But. A smile and hug (with no words) from my
boy centres me and injects the calm back into my whirlwind days.
9. Coffee. With my mum.
10. Autumn sun with a chill in the air.

Have you stopped to smell the roses recently?

La vie en rose

via

Words to take a Wednesday by. Not bad, huh. It's pretty special to know that with all our gold stars, flaws and crappy hair-days, someone loves us "just the way we are".

La vie en rose is something new I'm bringing to this blog (currently with an identity issue - shade of whim was the original name, his girl with a blog is what I'm preferring these days...). I'll be posting every so often about the little things that make my days sing, the things I'm grateful for, under "La vie en rose". Hope you enjoy reading. Today's la vie en rose goes something like this:

1. The sore toes I have from putting my pointe shoes on 6 days a week.

2. Getting to design my way through my days. Love my job.

3. My mum sure knows her girl. The best colour addition to my wardrobe was the orange rubber timepiece she surprised me with.

4. Looking through the treetops toward a bright, sunlit, blue sky.

5. A soul-soothing-hug from my boy.

6. Autumn fruits.

7. Hearing the rain drops while I work.

 

What's made you smile lately?
