things (more than)

things i have been craving this past week:

the weight of my camera in my hand
the exhale that comes with writing
time to watch my thoughts wander
long phone calls to faraway people
meals, especially dinner, away from the office
the feel of book pages between my fingers
disappearing into a fictional world

***

things i am grateful to have experienced this past week:

a breeze cool enough to give me goosebumps
an evening picnic in the park
live music - a small band with a strings section
a top five most comfortable bed ever
^ the fact that it is mine
iced venti vanilla lattes twice a day
commutes that end before i notice they have begun
space for pandora 9am - 5pm
hallway acoustic concerts

wishing i could be here more
but so grateful for silver linings
