It was Matt’s birthday. I joined my friend Aidan’s Here Year project. We celebrated the end of 3rd and 5th grades with a family ziplining trip. Grace, Whit, and I go to Niagara Falls. It is jaw-droppingly gorgeous and wildly, tackily commercial at the same time. Grace and Whit both go to sleepaway camp for 3.5 weeks. For the first time since I began blogging, I took an entire month off (August).
Some of my favorite posts:
Overwhelming awareness of this life’s sweetness
I shared a quote every Friday. One of my favorites was:
Allow beauty to shatter you regularly. The loveliest people are the ones who have been burnt and broken and torn at the seams yet still send their open hearts into the world to mend with love again, and again, and again. You must allow yourself to feel your life while you’re in it.
-Victoria Frederickson
Another beautiful quote. So glad our paths crossed in the blogosphere.
Lovely quote! It’s been a great year reading your words and enjoying vicarious vacations 🙂 Those pictures from Galapagos (that was this year, right? If not I’m really losing track of time) and Niagra were beautiful. Hope you have a peaceful new year.
And so many beautiful skies.
That quote! My, my, my I NEEDED that today, thank you. xo
Love the quote. Absolutely love it. Thank you for sharing that. Have a beautiful New Year.
