Nearly every day since August, I've repeated to myself a phrase that has helped make sense out of things that don't yet have quite enough positive upsides. This phrase, "never doubt in the darkness what you know to be true in the light.", seems to have been both a guide and direction. As you can see, I've been putting glass dishes of plain and vanilla-scented tea light candles on any available surface in our home, somehow trying to up the warmth factor when things are so decidedly frozen in time. Despite the fact that we seem to be emerging from the worst of it, these are two habits I want to keep up. In both creating extra light and remembering the truth in those words, I'm remembering to be patient and hopeful. Finding that one beacon of certainty is a comfort that I'm so glad to share.
Some other things that 'warm the cockles'..
1, showers by candlelight. Again with the candles.
2, plotting movie dates. I can't hype this and this forthcoming release enough*.
3, refining our plans for when we have a car. Aldi and Bunnings lead alphabetically/are an unashamed primary priority.
4, an update on our current word of guaranteed hilarity.
5, frangipani buds. They started out Alien-esque, but have since brought through yellow-cream-white ombre goodness that stretches sunwards.
6, the combination of dumplings and Tokay.
7, album launch parties. After all the hard work, the shared smiles said it all.
8, this recipe. Thyme! Sun-dried tomato! Brie!
9, animal collective nouns. Particularly, a llovely of llamas.
10, dreaming of making this necklace and otherwise admiring rose prints everywhere I see them.
*obsessive trailer love strikes again!
