I must say, my new resolve to find and appreciate the simple and lovely things throughout the day has colored my world in new ways...

Friday I had a long and grueling day at work, but managed to make it to the local farmer's market and purchase two lovely bunches of gerber daisies (which just may be my new favorite flower!)

Saturday afternoon I met a friend who was in town for coffee. I almost didn't make it due to time constraints, but he convinced me by saying he had a suprise for me, and I'm glad he did! I arrived at the coffee shop and saw my suprise....our good friend who lives in Sacremento! It was a wonderful suprise!! There is something to be said about friends who you've known for a long time (the three of us are going on 9 years), they just get you, you know?! My lovely supprise gave me a seashell he had found on the beach that day..
