Pajama pants. Leisurely dinners. Catching up with friends. Nights at home. Slippers. Stack 'o books. Date nights. Cozy sweaters. Handwritten letters (thanks Ma). Hot dinners. Quiet hours. Board games. The Olympics. Clean apartment. Frost on the morning glass. Thick socks. Pot of Tea. Cuddles with he.
Oh yes-these are a few of my favorite things.
Hope you are enjoying a few of your favorite things this week.

Today, as I crunched through the snow, homeward bound from my Starbucks shift, I felt the profoundest sense of peace and joy. I lingered in the cold for a few extra blocks, praying and listening to Coldplay, Over the Rhine and Alexi Murdoch. The sun was all soft and perfect. It was snowing just enough to make everything feel a bit magical but not enough to make it miserable-so much felt right in the world.
Besides, I knew Jonathan + a crockpot of chilli were waiting for me in our wee apartment.
Even when I passed a house we'd been trying to buy for months and noted the "SOLD" sign glaring at me, I couldn't shake the happiness.
I am so grateful for this season to dream, to spend time with friends, to get caught up on our work-and clean a few closets too.
Hope your weekend has been full of inspiration and hope and that your week will be even better.
Until tomorrow.
xo.
