/choosing/ Joy or at least trying really hard for it! I’ll never forget the post from Ashley about Choosing Joy that has stuck with me>>>Choose Joy.
/imagining/ Dare I say, a world without COVID?!?! Life around here, is in some ways are returning to ‘normal.’ My work place is almost entirely back to normal. In person classes and most everyone is back at work full time. My department isn’t quite there yet, but I think we will be by summer May or June. Unfortunately sports has not embraced ‘normalcy’ yet. Super restricted at all events on campus. I’m ready for our performing arts center to start having life events again. I’m ready to have date nights in Atlanta for live concerts. I’m ready to go on a cruise! These are all the things I’m imagining doing very soon!
/making/ plans for my summer garden, which I’ll post about soon, I hope.
/recommending/ Anyone from beginner to the well seasoned gardener will find this book by my favorite YouTuber, Jessica Sowards from Roots & Refuge Farm a great resource! I pre-ordered this last summer and it hit the bookshelves this week. So excited for it to finally show up in my mailbox!
The First-time Gardener: Growing Vegetables
/wearing/ I’m in the office this week, so I’m dressed up. I’m wearing my hair down today. Since I got it cut last week, I have to get used to ‘fixing’ my hair. This is one of my favorite shirts that I got last year at Ross. Such great bargains there!

Glad to hear things are slowly returning to normal at work. I hope to see signs of that here soon. Your hair looks great!
Thank you! It was a really good hair day.
It gives me hope that in some places things are slowly getting back to normal. I’m hoping we’ll see signs of that here soon but it still feels pretty far away. Your hair looks great! It must feel so good to have a fresh cut!
Yes, I’m always so reluctant for hair cuts, but always glad I did it. Or at least most of the time. It helps to have someone who understands your hair. Mine is kinda complicated.
Love the polka dots! And really hoping that the vaccinations pick up big time as promised so that we can have a little bit of normalcy safely… wouldn’t date nights be nice?!
Thanks! Yes I’m all for normalcy!
Gosh, you look pretty. Polka dots are so much fun and your hair is really cute. Doesn’t it feel good to get back to dressing for the day?
Imagining a cruise! Yes!! That is something I have always wanted to do. Maybe we can both make that dream a reality soon.
Aww Thank you! It is nice to actually want to care about how you look. However after about the 3rd day I was over. It will be a real adjustment going back full time! Cruising is the best. People find that they either absolutely love it or hate it. We of course love it. Such an easy vacation to plan.
Cute top and I love imagining a world with no Covid as our decision maker in the near future too! Concerts and cruises are some of my favorites! Enjoy your day!
Thank you! Yes, yes, yes!
I love Roots and Refuge too!! I will have to look for her cookbook! And seriously, I love imagining a post-covid world!
Cute shirt! I really need to check out Ross. I’m so ready for some more normal activities to return. Covid has been rough on the planning ahead and looking forward to things aspect, among many other things of course.

I usually like Ross more than TJMaxx! Yeah, I said it. 🙂
