my
saturday began in the garden, watering the tomato plants with ms. ada-
our landlord and neighbor. after tossing my clothes in the washing
machine and munching on my delicious cucumber and avocado sandwich with
homemade cream cheese herb spread, i proceeded to clean, rearrange and
organize my entire room. suddenly feeling the need to get some fresh
air, claire and i took a little stroll around the neighborhood,
chit-chattin' about life while sipping on our vanilla lattes. upon
arriving at our doorstep, we went straight into the kitchen to prepare a
nice, healthy, and homemade salad and fish tacos for dinner.
i
have caught the homebody-virus, meaning i actually ENJOY spending time
at home (gasp). my roommate claire and i strive to be creative in our
daily lives by using what we have and what we can find around the house.
we have also dedicated ourselves to eat healthier meals; utilizing our
csa box has been a great help. i read more and reflect more. claire and
i express and exchange our irritations at the smallest things ever so
often, but we always talk it out, and consequently end up reflecting
even more.
simple
joy comes from living a simple life, appreciating the little things
around us and being thankful everyday for what we have and don't have. i
have my days and my moments, but i know that at the end of the day i
can go to this safe and creative space i call home and know that
everything will be fine. as a result, my sense of belonging in the
community is developing, and i hope it continues to grow. so far, i can
say that this journey has truly been a blessing.
