Count your blessings.


I attempted to find a jar to make sun tea in today. I was still empty-handed by the time the sun set. I suppose I'll be scouring the thrift shops and antique stores now, because no one has what I want. A giant jar. That's it. That's all I need. I mean, I have my tea and everything, just no jar.

Today was slow and hot and my hair stuck to the sweat on the back of my neck while I made caramel over the stovetop. I began a list too, a list that I have been meaning to start for quite some time. About how to do better. How to be better. But even more simply and importantly,
how to be well.
So look forward to that. Because I was inspired down to my bones by Esther the other night and the constant ease of this June. Good things have come of her, and I'm not just talking about my sweet little peach of a niece.

I'm looking for the small things lately. The small, wonderful things.
This day was one of them.
