Celebratory Summer

For the first time in quite awhile I have Internet access.  I've quickly checked email here and there, but no full on access, with my own computer and my own time.  To be honest--it's been wonderful not having it.  I have lived as I haven't in a long time.  Including reading :)--what my heart really considers living.

But tonight I was back to my unhealthy habits.  On a day when I really, really didn't need it.  But other good things happened this evening as well and it's helped me to be more grateful and happy.  As I have been doing better "living" the past few weeks, I've felt the need to connect more.  So if I'm going to be on the internet, and if I'm going to do the other things on my mind and heart, I'm also going to blog. I'm going to have a celebratory summer for the next few weeks.  Maybe just little things, but it's healthy for me.

So tonight I leave you with two very random thoughts that are making me happy tonight (this will tell you how profound I'm feeling):

Brushing teeth with toothpaste is a marvelous thing.  I ran out over a week ago.  Refused to buy more because I knew I had a few boxes of it in my storage unit.  So just dry brushed.  Which gets your teeth surprisingly clean.  But oh, how wonderful toothpaste it!


Second, it's been raining for two days (and was pretty humid in the days building up).  I love moisture because it does such wonderful things for my hair (did you think I was going to say for the plants and the world--well, that too).

I really love my hair.  I feel guilty about it sometimes.  And sometimes I worry that it's all going to fall out or go straight or something else awful because I love it.  But the truth is, I love my hair.
It's been super cute all this past week.  And then Saturday.  And yesterday--oh, wow, with the ringlets and pearls it was so beautiful.  And today again.  I just love the curls!

Here're a couple from my twenty-shot attempt to show you.  Laughing about that was good too (I like the fuzzy one because I'm laughing (I can tell).)




















And that's it for tonight.  Toothpaste and curls, hooray!

You look amazing, and your curls too! I need to back off of my internet usage and "live" a little more. But I am glad to see you on the blog =)
