All too often I'll screenshot a photo I love and just

see

what it would look like with an instagram filter...

Lately life has been so busy that these are the only snapshots of daily happy that I have!

I wish I had time to break out the camera - which really is my favorite - but every weekend is booked up, every minute is accounted for.

not to mention everyday...

so consequently...as you may have noticed, blogging isn't a #1 top priority for me at the moment.

career! work work work! job! of course.

sometimes its hard for me to even picture what summer life was life, or what italy felt like, or that simple moment I marveled at those french flowers.

was that even me!? how could it have been? life just got so...hectic.

I keep in tune with that little sliver of

me

through my pictures, my friends, planning fun adventures.

even the little things.

i have a bunch of things and little events here and there to look forward to, and that is keeping me happy. :)

ah, thoughts...there i go again!

ciao, xo
