bodies have this funny way of forcing us to give them what they need. so, that’s what my body did yesterday. it forced me to sleep. a lot. this was probably the best thing for me, after the hectic week (month, year!!) that i’ve had. but i felt out of sorts this morning after realizing i’d basically lost an entire day of my life. so i did my best to wring every drop of weekend that this day had to offer. and it was pretty great. here are a few of the highlights as captured by my instagram shots …
1. i bought myself a few brightly-coloured stems at the grocery store. it’s amazing how much cheerier a few flowers can make a room.
2. i typed up a couple of my favourite poems and wrote letters to new friends. i’ve been really inspired by melly’s 30 days of letters. so much is missed in the briefness of e-mail and text messages. and so i continue to play my small part in keeping letter-writing alive.
3. lately my eyes have been reopened to how full of possibility and wonder the world is, so i’ve spent a lot of time daydreaming and planning in my journals. do you like my new key/pen necklace?
4. i tried soygo (vegan yogurt) for the first time this weekend and made this yummy parfait. now i’m even more excited to make my own yogurt from nut milk!
5. coffee with elyse at the commons this morning. much planning and talk of the adventures on the horizon.
6. their stained glass window reminded me of the house i grew up in.
7. bed picnic with my favourite snack as of late: PC white bean dip + rice crackers. i swear the roasted garlic and sage make it even better than hummus! i’ve been going through a pack of each of these every few days since january.
8. three-ingredient vegan turtles. recipe coming at ya tomorrow, but we warned, these things are addictive!
9. pink blossoms heavy with rain as i walked home from the market.
10. i’ve had grapefruit soda on the brain since this post on miss indie. after trying it this weekend, i’m totally hooked! i didn’t follow the recipe exactly though. use equal parts grapefruit juice & sparkling water, a big squeeze of lemon, serve over ice and it’ll be delicious!
what were the highlights of your weekend? i’d love to hear!
