because sometimes all we need is a little cheering up

paint your nails with exotic colours
make pizza
record senses in a notebook
buy pretty flowers
decorate your room
eat chocolate
go to Gap and buy something new
capture sunflare with a lens
flip open your notebook and just write
take photos of the snow
do your hair in a messy bun
accomplish something you've been meaning to do
memorize and study scripture
write a description
daydream
listen to Chopin's music
read a good book
create a collection of favourite quotes
make yourself and a friend a cup of tea
dance to music

...because sometimes all we need is a little cheering up during these dreary winter months. xx

  15. You capture your life SO WELL! I just- wow. You do it so well!
    Makes me want to jump up and do the same! =D
    The snow pictures are beautiful, I like the picture of your painted nails in the mirror, the flowers... I have that SAME red calligraphy pen, and I really like how you wrote that verse out. Out of the box thinking, ya' know?
    Okay, I'm done gushing.

  19. What a perfect winter list. :) And gorgeously heart-warming photos. I felt like I just stepped into your life there for a moment. Okay, funny story about stepping into your life… I dreamed sometime last week that I met you and your family! My dreams are always wacky though, so I think we were on some kind of navy ship and you couldn't show people your room or something, but I got to because I was special or something…? Anyway, we hit it off and had so much in common. ;) I'm sure it wouldn't be much different in real life.

    Aand that stripy shirt? Is that what you got at Gap? The funny thing is that I definitely tried on a shirt just like that at Gap (just with grey stripes in stead of red… I din't see one with red), didn't buy it, and keep wishing I did. Yep, okay, I think we should be twins. Okay? :)

    Last thing. I promise I won't write a book. Your silhouette pictures with your messy buns are too great! Love 'em.

    xx.

      PS the shirt IS from Gap... and we SHOULD be/we already are twins!
      PPS ahhh, I really need to email you. I promise an email will be on its way soon (and a letter, of course).
      PPPS you dream sounds perfect; if only that could happen in REAL life! (and just maybe it will!)
      PPPPS Just to let you know, I AM aware of the fact that there are too many 'PS's in this comment; (oops). ;)
