1. Last night, for the first time in a month, I was able to talk with Matt! I can't even express how amazing it was to hear his voice and to have an entire 40 minutes to hear about his life in the Alaskan wilderness.
2. Early morning run. Finally starting to feel (somewhat) back in shape.
3. Farmer's Market! Thanks to a friend suggesting that I find a farmer's market to go to this weekend, I remembered that we actually do have one in town and that I've been wanting to check it out. This time, I mostly wandered and browsed the products of local vendors, but I'm sure I'll purchase more in the future.
I did, however, buy some lemongrass lip balm from Earths Essential, a local company that sells all natural hair and skin products, and am LOVING it already.
Then, I grabbed an iced coffee and a gluten free muffin and headed to the lake.
4. I've been spending a bit of time by the lake lately, just walking around and enjoying the peacefulness. It's a great place to read or people watch or take pictures.
5. Phone calls with friends. This morning, I caught up with one of my roommates, Elise. It's strange to go from living in bedrooms across the hall from one another, sharing living space, cooking and studying and having long, late-night conversations to barely being able to communicate at all. I loved being able to hear about her life and to discuss our plans for the future. Can't wait to see her soon!
6. Used bookstores. This afternoon, I went into a used bookstore in town to search for poetry by a specific poet. Even though they didn't have it, I (of course) walked out with two other books. And now I'm looking forward to reading works by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Annie Dillard sometime in the near future.
There are about a million other things that could go on this list, but I'll leave it there for now. Hope you're finding just as much to appreciate in your recent summer days!
