your 5 favorite things RIGHT NOW

[Kudzu Guillotine]

Just one right now and that's that I'm headed to the coast of North Carolina for the very first time this year. I don't know what it is but my visits there have a way of re-energizing me and renewing my spirit which is something I need right now more than ever.


Bear Island at Hammocks Beach

take me to the shoreline
dip me in the warm brine
wash away the bad times

I don't know who sings that but the ocean definitely holds some very healing properties for me. Now, if we could just do away with those pesky tourists...

I've been pretty quiet lately about the traffic up here in the Great White North ~ not because it's any less troublesome though, but rather I'm not yet over the sheer embarrassment of being passed by the AH-SO Sushi van on the way to work at 7am a couple weeks ago. ** hangs head **
