Beautifully Said.

Some mornings almost make me believe I'm a morning person...

This was one of those mornings.

For me...

This justifies everything.

"The last time of anything has the poignancy of death itself.  This that I see now, she thought, to see no more this way.  Oh, the last time how clearly you see everything; as though a magnifying light had been turned on it.  And you grieve because you hadn't held it tighter when you had it every day."

               -Betty Smith (A Tree Grows In Brooklyn)

Lately, I'm finding that it's these moments that I cherish more than anything else.  In the midst of my generally hectic life, I sincerely appreciate these rare moments of quiet.  My apartment in the morning.  A strong cup of coffee.  A good book.  A hot bath. 

Puppy schnuggles. 

Nothing like making a Christmas ::wish:: list to help with a cold, dreary Monday...

A girl can dream, right?

It simply would not feel right to let my favorite season pass without some recognition...hence, my yearly homage to all things fall <3

Football and pumpkins and cold foggy mornings

Pea coats and rain boots and puppies in sweaters...

Lattes and baking, and all that the holidays bring....  

These are a few of my favorite things.
