Lately

I've been working on this post on and off for about 2 weeks now...I just can't seem to get the words out of my head.  Do you ever feel that way?  Every time I try to sit down and finally share a bit of my daily goings-on with you, my mind goes blank.  It's been doing that a lot lately.

The days within the past month have seemed like one continual glossy blur.  They've been filled with wonderful things that make my heart swell - things that I'm aching to share.

My mind and body has been partially consumed with school for the past month.  I was invited to join the Honors College at my university, and it has been an eye-opening experience for me to say the least.  Sometimes I take a step back and really look at my current situation, and I realize for a moment just how blessed and completely overwhelmed I am.

I've been trying to maintain my Etsy shoppe on top of school, and it has ever-so politely slid into the back seat without my noticing.  Every few days or so, I have a tinge of guilt that passes over me for my neglect.  I began working on my final wintry item shoppe update for the season over Christmas break.  I'm still not done...not in the least.  I keep telling myself that if I don't get it done in time, the glistening wintry season is just around the corner in the Southern hemisphere... I haven't even started on my Spring/Summer update yet, which currently spends all of its time rolling back and forth in the blankets of my brain.

But perhaps the most thrilling thing of all that has happened as of late - which is something that I have not yet shared - is that, in December (the 6th, to be exact), a beautiful new person entered my life.  I had known his mother for months beforehand, and had grown quite close to her - as she's one of the loveliest ladies I've had such pleasure of knowing - and, in a time of unfortunate circumstances for me, she had her son send me a text to brighten my gloomy spirits.  From there, we snowballed.  We officially captured each others' hearts on the 27th of January, and my goodness...what a delightful time it has been.  And no one is more delighted than his mother.

I'll return soon with my Here's to February post.

Happy Wednesday, loves.
