writing letters on the lawn yesterday
This week has been rather wonderful and productive. My favorite day, I think, was Wednesday: sitting on the floor with craft supplies sprawled out around me, listening to podcasts, and decorating my filofax. I kept seeing awesome + inspiring ones on pinterest, so I decided I wanted mine to look organized in a super cute way too. I did find myself wishing I had some other options of washi tape, but I worked just fine with what I had. I’ve also kept up with my daily word count for the first time in weeks and got a fair amount of reading done. All in all, one of my favorite weeks lately.

Three ways to make next week great:
- Finish my Tarot notes. I’ve been making notes on each card in a cool little notebook I’ve decorated for quite honestly a year now. I started them in Spring 2012 and somehow have yet to finish. I’m close, though; I have maybe nine or ten of the Major Arcana left. Then I can start my 52 week project of doing a reading every week. I get worn out making all the notes, though. I just need to buckle down and finish these last few up.
- Write more letters. I wrote a couple already this week, but I’ve gotten some new pen pals from tumblr + twitter, so I’d really like to get letters sent out to them soon. I also want to get some fun new envelopes, because even though I like making my own, it gets a little tiresome sometimes.
- Catch up on “Supernatural.” This is a silly and somewhat unproductive one, but it feels like we’ve been watching forever at this point, and it’d be nice to get to the end! Not that I’m not enjoying it. I’m just not a patient person sometimes (oftentimes).
“It’s Friday; I’m in Love” is a weekly gratitude post. It aims to remind myself and others of the good things from the past week, big and small; to share ways to make the next week a positive one; and to serve as a record to look back on for the not-so-great days to come. The title comes from the song by The Cure.
