I Live For...

My friend Kate at, Ordinary Girl, Extraordinary Journey, is one of the most positive people out there. Her space is inspiring and heartwarming and I have decided to give her methods of sharing warmth and light a shot. 

While I struggle every Monday with reasons to be happy, as you can imagine having just left my family and bf back in the bay for the week does not make a smiley elle, I figured I would do my best to share with you reasons why I live and what makes me smile. 

Hope you like it!

I live for long walks around McKinley park with my roommate. There is nothing quite like the gorgeous blooming rosebushes and fantacizing about living in the fabulous homes that surround the park to erase the memory of a harrowing day at the office.

I live for the holiday versions of the traditional Reeses candy…as Kate and I decided on our way to the gym yesterday, there is nothing less inappropriate than biting in to the ill proportioned peanut butter to chocolate ratio of a slightly melted always delicious Reeses egg or Christmas tree.

I live for that first day in early spring when the orange trees by my parent’s house begin to blossom and the air is thick with their sweet citrusy reminders of summer.

I live for the first pedicure of spring, while I feel bad for the technician having to deal with my feet that have not seen the light of day in 6 months, I love the way they always giggle when they realize my feet are unbelievably ticklish and I am trying to be a grown up and not burst into squirmy laughter.

I live to enjoy life and all of its miraculous little marvels, especially during the changes of winter and spring.
What do you live for?

Ciao
