Elisabeth is running a FIG Collective this month, encouraging readers to find joy in gratitude, and I have to tell you, I have resisted. I am too anxious and angry to be bothered with JOY or GRATITUDE, darn it. Erm. I am sure you see the error there, as I finally did, too, when the doom scrolling caught up with me this afternoon.
Sooooooo, I decided to comb through the pictures I have taken this month and find the glimmers that peek out from all this darkness
Here's what I have:
2/1 Saturday: This tableau I found when I went to put Minnie's laundry away
2/2 Sunday: Furniture shopping with 2 very helpful helpers and a Whole Foods trip with my favorite shopper.
2/3 Monday: I snagged a great book from a Little Free Library in the campus library foyer and read it while watching my favorite diver.
2/4 Tuesday: Preschool Valentines
2/6 Thursday: Fancy grown up clothes
2/8 Saturday: A prolific artist
2/9 Sunday: An 11 year-old who can put on her own false eyelashes. BRING IT, DANCE SEASON.
2/10 Monday: Excellent lunch time reading
Tiny tea party!!!
ReplyDeleteit was just so cute! I gasped a little
DeleteA platonic apple. Best thing I've read on the internet so far today.
ReplyDeletean excellent apple!
DeleteTo be so tiny your feet don't touch the floor when you're on a normal-sized piece of furniture. YOUR LIFE IS SO HARD!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL LOL LOL-- it was a really deep couch?
DeleteThat was the pic that made me go "aw!!"
DeleteI could always get a footrest LOL
DeleteLove that tea party. I miss those days. OMG - it took me four years to get contact lenses, because it grossed me out to touch my eye. So, it should surprise no one that the fake eyelash duty when the girls Irish danced made my stomach do flips. Weird, I know. But what if my hand slipped, and the glue or the eyelashes went INTO my child's eye? Eek. It was so great when they figured out how to do it on their own.
ReplyDeleteThe trick is to cut each row in half and just put half in the middle of the lash line. So easy!
DeleteAwww, these are great FIGs, Sarah! Love your fancy dress and all the artwork! Platonic apple - hee hee.
ReplyDeletethanks!
DeleteI had a Platonic french fry once. It was sublime.
ReplyDeletelolololol-- just one???
DeleteI love that you're participating! Life is very heavy right now but sometimes there are little moments of joy we can find in our days. Also, I am someone whose feet sometimes don't touch the floor when I'm sitting in certain chairs/furniture so I FEEL YOU!
