- jamba juice...right now i am loving the strawberry lemonade refresher. i could seriously drink one every single day. it's so summery (although i think i'd still order it in winter as well)
- this video: where's the octopus.....so fascinating.
- this post by angie: he loves you...i've read it several times and will read it hundreds more. on those not-so-great-days it's a great reminder. my favorite line "i have enough to know that what i don't know is safe." it's beautiful. a lovely, lovely post. take time to read it and savor it.
hate:
- they just raised our rent...by $50!!! that's not chump change. it's all good and i know they have to make money too, but seriously $50 extra? for our super tiny 450 sq ft. apartment? due one week from now?...a little extra warning would have been nice.
- heat and humidity...i am not trying to rush summer by any means, but it's just a little warmer than i enjoy.
- wet tents...we had to pack up our tent in the rain on monday morning (i woke up literally two minutes before it started raining). i dried out the rain fly on our deck yesterday, but the tent is in the car still. it's just annoying to try to dry it when we don't have a yard to set it up in. later today, i will be attempting to figure out a way to dry it out on our deck.
inspiration:
- choose a lens to view your life from be more with less...love this post. i am so guilty of letting the pesky, annoying things take my focus instead of remembering how truly blessed i am. such a timely post for me.
- this war dog photo essay...beautiful, stunning photos and amazing stories.
- ali's post about photo taking choices...love that she walks through they why of her photos, i'm thinking i'll have to do a similar post in the near future. it's kind of interesting to see why people document what they do.
i'd love to hear some of the things that you are loving, hating or being inspired by this week!!!
