These are the days of slow summer days that still fly by too fast. These are the days of hosting sweet friends and being hosted by others—sharing in the joy of hospitality. These are the days of long morning walks with neighbors and spending lazy afternoons by the lake. These are the days of turning Bailey into a water pup. These are the days of wearing the dress just because. These are the days of holding your longest friend's sweet twin boys in your arms. These are the days of celebrating new marriages and cherishing your own. These are the days of taking a break from weekly commitments to make room for spontaneity. These are the days of unexpected surprises where accidents and injuries bring forth a stronger form of gratitude. These are the days of being present where your feet are and not wishing your circumstances away. After all, they led you to this beautiful, confusing, exhilarating life. 💜
