The beginning of my week was a struggle, hard to find beauty in all of the confusion & sadness. But- I hid away for awhile & reflected. Now, I’m celebrating life & it feels so good.

Good morning! I’m still feeling a little down; I cannot pinpoint exactly what is wrong. I have a headache, I am tired. I don’t feel like getting out of bed. I know it is something that will pass, but while it’s here- it is frustrating.

In other news, last night, while using a random numbers website, I chose {madreblair} as the winner of my handmade earrings! Please email me at njnwc3@mizzou.edu your name & address so I can send a package your way.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
I’m going to make a trip to the public library & maybe take a short hike around Luke’s neighborhood to fight off this funk!
love,
Natalie
No matter what we’re doing, Luke & I always enjoy time spent together. For our one year, I took him to Maude Vintage & we picked out a shirt for him. While he was in the dressing room, I snapped some photos.

Today I’m feeling pretty exhausted. The weather is beautiful, but I only want to stay in bed this evening. Do you sometimes feel like that? & I’m also craving a good book to read. Any suggestions?
