The Think Write Thursday topic for this week is to write about your three favorite things to wear.

My three favorite things to wear varies with the season, as I’m sure yours do, too. For today I’m going to share my three favorite things to wear right now.

My Old Navy boyfriend jeans. They are faded to perfection, cropped and baggy and comfortable. I would wear them every day if I could!

My Croc flip flops. I know, it’s another picture of my feet. Weird, right? I mean, I could get some interesting readers if I keep this up. Anyway, those flip flops were recommended by my podiatrist when I first had plantar fasciitis and they saved me. They have good arch support and they go with everything and they are lightweight and I wear them all.summer.long.

LipSense! I had to include it because I wear it every day and it has changed the way I look at myself. Whether I’m going bold and bright or subtle and neutral, a little lip color has made a big difference in how I look.

The Think Write Thursday topic for this week is to consider what it means to be at the halfway point of the year. Did you state some intentions for 2017? If so, check in on them and give us an update. If you didn’t state any intentions then maybe you could tell us what you think so far about 2017 or perhaps you’d like to set some intentions for the second half of the year. Whatever you decide, however you approach this topic, regale us with your words!

Guess who didn’t set any intentions for 2017?

Raises hand.

Yep. That would be me. I mean, I did set a goal of reading 75 books but I don’t think that really counts as an intention. And really, I’m not going to set any for the second half of the year either. I have my summer bucket list and maybe in the fall I’ll create a fall bucket list. Because, really, bucket list sounds way more fun than intentions.

So that leaves me with what I think about 2017 so far. Hmmmm. Personally, it’s been great. I’ve got a side hustle, we’re getting a new grandbaby, we are celebrating 20 years of marital bliss (thank you all very much for the anniversary wishes yesterday) and day to day life is satisfying and happy. I’m reading and knitting, reflecting on peace as much as possible, meditating and journaling, and trying to live an authentic life. Actually, a quote from The Nix really struck me the other day and I think it’s applicable here:

Seeing ourselves clearly is the project of a lifetime.

So that’s what I’m doing. Seeing myself clearly as much as possible and working on the lifetime project of being me.

The Think Write Thursday topic for this week is to write a summer bucket list.

Oh, summer. You are my favorite. And, as such, you tend to just fly right by. I’m hoping that by thinking of the things I want to do it will help it feel like you might last a little longer.

• Go on a vacation with Dale. (happening soon!)
• Eat lobster. Lots of lobster. (this ties in quite nicely with the first thing on this list.)
• Visit Cape Cod. We’ve got our week in August booked but I hope to visit much more than that. I want to hang with Doreen and Mark and I want to shop at Eden Hand Arts and I want to visit Provincetown and so much more.
• Hang out on the deck as much as possible. I love our bonus summer room.
• Get a cover all on my Summer Book Bingo card.
• Enjoy our raised vegetable beds. Eat fresh tomatoes and cucumbers and make pesto and jalapeno poppers and more.
• Eat ice cream. I am not a huge fan of ice cream but there’s just something wonderful about it on a summer evening.
• Knit for the new baby. A baby born in October is going to need a lot of warm things to get him through the cold that follows. Summer will be a wonderful time for knitting little woolly things.
• Plan a couple of day trips. We haven’t been into Boston to hang out in ages. And there’s always Heritage Gardens and the beach.

The Think Write Thursday topic for this week is to write a post titled, Hello June.

Hello, June.

I’m short on time so I’m going to make this post short on words, too. June, you are my favorite month and I have written a haiku in your honor.

long and sunny days
time spent on the deck each night
June makes me happy

The Think Write Thursday topic is to write about the contents of your purse. Are you a minimalist? Or do you carry around a knapsack? And say, what’s in there, anyway? Tell us what you’ve got in your purse and why!

That right there is the contents of my purse. Not a whole lot, right? I don’t like to carry around a giant bag and this fits well and is pretty much all I need.

Starting on the left, there’s a Kind bar. I don’t often have those but I had stuck it in there because of the conference this week. They kept us quite well fed and I never actually needed it.

My wallet. It’s got money (never enough) and the cards I don’t use often like my insurance card and my AAA card and a couple of rarely used credit cards.

My eye glasses case. Right now it has my sun glasses in there but I switch those out for my regular glasses when I’m driving.

Four Walker bags. I love these bags for keeping the contents of my purse organized. The little blue one holds my debit card, my Visa card, my driver’s license, and my LipSense business cards. The purple one under that holds tissues and gum and a little pad of paper. There are sometimes other things in there, too, but right now that’s it. The green on holds pens and the pink one holds lip gloss and a perfume roller ball and a hair elastic.

My car keys. They usually just stay right in there since my car has keyless entry.

And finally, my cell phone with  that awesome PopSocket on the back. If you use your phone for pictures a PopSocket is a must!

That’s it for me. How about you? What’s in your purse?
