sweet things


I met Lauren M. for some Starbucks this morning, and guess what! The pumpkin spice latte is back! I know. Can you believe it's almost that time of year?! The weather isn't very convincing, but it will be soon enough.

On a different note, here are a few things that have been occupying my thoughts lately:

:: The precious man that I talked to at the thrift store this week. He was so sweet and witty in conversation. He was 92! I never would have guessed it.

:: I'll officially be one year older in less than a month. Technically, that is. It feels like I just turned 21. By this time next year I will have (hopefully) graduated, moved out, have a grown-up job and a yearly salary to go along with it. As much as I've been anticipating it all, it's also slightly terrifying if I think about it too hard.

:: This restless feeling. I can't bring myself to study or sit still or do anything productive. I don't know why. All I want to do today is run around in the grass with bare feet and fly a kite or go on a bike ride or watch clouds. I've always had this part of me that has wanted to escape ties and just be free of the clock, the calendar, and my planner. Today is just one of those days.
