Simplicity

It's what I'm looking for now. But life is just not so simple. Making decisions that could alter the course of your life, trying to decide which path to take, it's all such a challenge. Especially when you don't really like any of the paths. And trying to create a new more desirable path isn't easy either, especially when you're not sure how.



Yes, this is how the path is looking right now.

There is beauty along that path. I'm just having trouble finding time to enjoy it.



And when I do find the time, my mind is preoccupied with... everything.



I'd love to have a few moments to just gaze at my surroundings in awe, like a child without a care in the world.



Enjoy the sun as it peeks through the clouds and shines on my face...



I'm looking to keep the thoughts in my mind to a minimum. To just have some peace and quiet in there, even if just for a day.



(I'm linking up with Focus52. The prompt this week is Minimal, which Janice ties in with keeping things simple. It's definitely what I'm looking for in my life right now.)

Brunch with friends

My friend has the most lovely house in Oakland. It's old and seems like just the place to hold lots of memories. Every time I go to her and her husband's house, I find something new that makes me smile. There is also so much natural light and I love taking photos here.

While their kitchen could use some updating (which is next on their project list), it has some great light and a cute vintage stove. I love this painting hanging there as well.

Brunch at her place is always such a treat. I love her serving plates and the food is always delicious!

   

After stuffing ourselves, we take a stroll through the neighborhood. Always such a pleasant walk, especially now with lots of signs of Spring.

I've already been to their house for brunch the last two Sundays, and another one is planned the first Saturday in March. Can't wait!

In love with the light

(I've linked this post to focus52, which is a great project I just found that prompts you weekly with a theme. I'm not sure I'll be able to do every week, as I already have two 366 projects! But it just so happened that my photos from the weekend fit the theme, so I get to join in on the fun!)
