it’s a good life, hazel grace.

Oh, summer twenty-fourteen…you are so good to me. I know that yesterday was the official start to summer, but the past week+ has offered up glorious days (even the rainy ones), a vibrant social calendar, and the chance to embrace lots of happy moments. 

Interesting – last monday, I became hyper-aware of the fact that after a particularly good weekend, I "corrected" back to my normal – a state of struggle & discouragement. It was super empowering to be able to recognize the behavior, talk about it with a trusted friends, and come up with a plan for the next time. When you know better, you do better.

So often, my peace & calm is tied to water – I've found myself at the waterfront more often than not over the past week. I'm missing the ocean, and thinking hard about my 2nd act being in the west, but in the meantime….Lake Champlain serves up a worthy substitute. 

As usual, I'm behind on a dozen things (hi Mom!), and feeling like the days go by in a flash, but I do know this….it's a good life. (and yes, I saw The Fault in Our Stars…and loved it. Also loved Chef.)
