Just when I thought I wouldn’t survive another gray sky, a series of gorgeous spring days have settled in on my little corner of the world.
I sat outside soaking up the sun this morning and noticed a pitcher I had left outside all winter. This was the wrong winter to leave it outside I thought. The weather was rough. As I looked at it more closely, I noticed the patterns of wear and the flakes of paint. It was more interesting.
And in the pitcher, I saw me.
A friend had arrived on my birthday last year carrying it in filled with hydrangeas. It was painted to look vintage, but now it truly was. I loved it so much more.
Forty is feeling less and less intimidating every day.

I feel the same way. A long time ago, my sister told me (and not as a compliment), that I like things that look like they’ve been buried for a hundred years. Yes, yes I do.
But it is a compliment. Loved this. 40’s going to treat you just fine.

I have to say that 40 and beyond kind of rocks. I like the confidence/knowledge part…and am working on the aging gracefully part.
