I like those days when you aren't panting heavily as you run through the motions nor holding your breath for something that may or may not come to pass. but instead just breathing. simply breathing. life isn't a hazy blur, or a rush. just one intake of the crisp air at at time. slowing down to savor every bit of strong december scent steeped into the air. like this weekend when I shipped brown paper packages to dear friends, talked to this sweet girl this afternoon, drank multiple cups of tea and chocolate, took decent photographs for the first time in months, and actually was in good christmasy spirits. so. I think at least, 'tis been a good beginning to a great weekend. 

what have you been up to love?   

xx's,

grace
