friday i'm in love

March 15, 2024 Arlene Giddings

hello beautiful spring-like friday…
you are my favorite day.

you bring me promises
and naps,
endless possibilities
and all the ice cream.
:)

FRIDAY I’M IN LOVE

♥ this hit home.

♥ these tiny flying rainbows made me smile.

♥ i am super excited about this and have been adding the bands
that i am not familiar with to my playlist!

♥ did you know that a group of jellyfish is called a smack?
Now you know.

where i am at...

March 9, 2024 Arlene Giddings

I am still here.
I know I have been quiet,
but I am still here.

What have I been doing?

Going for rainy early morning walks
in my pjs and dino boots.

Watching Andrew Huberman on YouTube
and trying to emulate some of the routines he has
like early morning sun-in-your-retinas
and cold showers,
yoga nidra and meditation.
Working hard to take the right supplements,
eat better and fix my broken sleep.

Working along with a
fantastic group online to do
The Artist’s Way.
I have done this before
on my own
with inspiring results
so I am really looking forward
to diving in hard on this
and seeing where it takes me
if I let it.

I am trying to hard
to keep my mind and
heart open,
to see the synchroncities
where they happen,
catch the glimmers when they sparkle
& shine
and to focus on joy instead of
loss and stress…
some days it works,
some days it doesn’t.
it’s a process.
:)

whatcha readin'? {goal 41::book 4}

February 5, 2024 Arlene Giddings

Wow. Look at me go.
I just finished this book
yesterday
and already I have got
it in the blog.

It’s that leftover
January to February
New Year/New Me fervor….
heh. It’ll pass soon enough.

Anyway…I digress. :)
(which is really what this blog
should be called)

But yes…this book.
If you would have told me
a year ago how much I would
come to LOVE Emily Henry
I would have been doubtful…
uncertain…dubious even.

And wrong. I would have been wrong.

This is my 3rd book by her
and I am enamored.
I just fall in love
with her characters.
And the story line is
interesting.
And the writing is pretty and
sweet which I like.

So yes. I am an Emily Henry fan.
And I say that now
with certainty.

♥♥♥♥♥ out of 5
NEXT UP::
PRIDE & PREJUDICE - JANE AUSTEN
To be fair, I think I likely read this before
but I am trying to incorporate some classics
in this year AND also it’s February
and if you know me, you know I like themes
so I would like February
to be as pink and gushy and ooey-gooey
dripping with love stories
cause….that’s just how I am.

Don’t judge. Heh.

friday i'm in love....

February 2, 2024 Arlene Giddings

We made it through January.
That always feels like
an accomplishment
to me…
the days just keep
getting longer now,
brighter….
I need daylight hours.
Otherwise I wilt
and I wallow
and I wait…

But I feel it coming now.
And the anticipation
makes me happy.

FRIDAY I’M IN LOVE

♥ I have been getting out for walks and going to the sauna/steam room…I even took the big camera with me on my last walk (though I haven’t uploaded the photos yet. I forget that you have to do that with the big camera. It’s been so long.) But it was a good feeling to hold the weight of it in my hands again.

♥ I made a bird feeder out of a milk carton and today the chickadees came!

♥ I am in love with the idea of a winter “sofa sprawl” day.
I keep seeing it as a “couch rot” or “bed rot” day
but that just sounds…kinda….yucky.
But I read this and thought…yes. Sofa sprawl.
A winter hibernation day (or dare I suggest weekend)
of cute fresh matching pjs, fuzzy socks,
cozy blankets, treats, drinks, books,
music, movies, hobbies like knitting or crochet,
a notepad and the remote all within arm’s reach.

No plans. No chores. No grown up stuff.
Oh.
I get chills just thinking about it.

♥ my backpack has a little
baby backpack
and that baby backpack
has a little baby pencil case
which has a
LITTLE BABY PENCIL & ERASER IN IT
:) my girl got me this for Xmas
and I love it.

♥ and because every list needs a link
this poem
both broke my heart
and made me cheer
and “listen i love you joy is coming”

*I warned you I was going to post more. Heh.
