561. driving in the country and seeing the first yellow leaves with a shock, since it's still scorching hot outside
562. the stationary aisle of literally any store, ever
563. buying new books
564. the first chill in the air when you think, 'ah, here it comes.'
565. diving head-first into freezing cold lakewater until your skin tingles and your bones ache
566. re-organizing my bookshelves (by colour, this time!)
567. running errands in my car and feeling accomplished
568. kickoffs for Jr and Sr High at my church
569. sending work emails with my fancy little signature at the bottom
570. burning youth
571. starting a new journal and making my handwriting extra-neat
572. the little "brrr" my phone makes when I get a new text
What wild and wonderful mysteries are you encountering lately?
xx,
Olivia
These posts literally always make me so incredibly happy oh my goodness <3
ReplyDeleteI always feel so cozy and content reading these posts. It's crazy, the power a few words about the little beautiful moments in life can have.
ReplyDelete#alittlejealoustho... I live in AZ and Autumn doesn't really start until like late October.
OMG CAN I FANGIRL OVER BURNING YOUTH FOR JUST A SECOND THO?!!! You go girl!
The leaves are just starting to change where I live too! It's still insanely hot and/or humid most days, which detracts from them a bit, but I can't wait for autumn to really set in.
ReplyDeleteEEP these make me feel so happy!! ♥ GAH SO EXCITED ABOUT FALL!!

I LIVE for #564. That moment when you step outside for the first time in fall, only to realize that you have to step back in and grab a sweater....and a scarf...and maybe three or four pumpkin themed items. *cheers* Fall is the best! CAN'T WAIT. Also, lake diving sounds super fun. I wish there was a lake around here! It'd be just wonderful to go swimming :D
ReplyDeleteYes, to buying more books! I've had a few of those happy moments recently. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are such beautiful things. In love with this post, darling!
ReplyDeleteWhat a soft & beautiful post. I could not agree more with the first & last ones - isn't there such wonder in cracking open a new journal, smoothing out the pages, beginning a new chapter in one's story? & even more, I might add, in the tiny buzz of a phone upon a text message from a friend - I've been thinking of you or do you know what the reading for English was? or have this cute dog, it reminded me of you. Love & love & love. <3
