90/365 • spring blossoms

90/365 • I am grateful for:
The wall of art my daughter hangs in her room. Gifts that last me years and remind me of the people who gifted them. How the snow looks blanketing spring blossoms, and feels kinda special in the moment. Friends that grow and choose to let me grow with them. Open, loving, hearts and hugs. ‪#‎365daysofgratitude‬

72/365 • nose rings

I find myself loitering in a grumpy mood today. Acceptance is the first step, right? I guess that means it is time to list out things I am grateful for: 72/365 • clean water, having a roof over my head, being woken up sweetly instead of getting kicked out of bed, having someone who will wake me up when I sleep through my alarm, hugs, drawing, small wins, nose rings, insurance, crayola crayon color names, crappy movies with good company, tacos, smiling, lunch with friends, writing and date nights.

Rain and blog neglect

66/365 • This time of year I am reminded how much I absolutely love the rain; everything about it. I like that Earth loves the rain. I love running through rain with no shoes. The sound of rain on an umbrella is fantastic. The silence that comes with the rain is thoughtful and peaceful. It's breathtaking when sunshine pushes its way through the rain drops and the world is like a prism. I like to catch the reflection of the world on puddled waves that the rain makes. It smells like earth, a blanket of petrichor hugs me between the water. I love the rain. #365daysofgratitude #rain 

I've been neglecting to update my blog with my gratitude. Between all of the social media, I haven't figured out how to get it to post to my blog yet when I post other places.  I will figure it out!

love, Mimi

43/365 • good literature and my madness

I will never take for granted how fluid and enrolling good literature is. Words so exquisite and tenacious… like tenacious and exquisite. They capture all of me when I read them. I’m sure I found the murder in me listening to E.A. Poe’s Tell Tale Heart this morning. “And now have I not told you that what you mistake for madness is but over-acuteness of senses?” Good old Poe, making me feel like I am not the only one stricken with “madness” at times. I heart books.
So I drew a Raven.

Love,  Mimi
