on the last little while.

hello!
how are you?


___

it's been a nice holiday,
i've sat outside and taken in the sun,
ran between buildings in the pouring rain.
i've waited for snow that never came.




i've eaten in my favorites.
here and here, to name just two.
i sipped on hot chocolate
with whip cream and mint.
visited with friends, old and new.
spent hours looking at things familiar
and moments peeking in shop windows
for that perfect thing
i didn't yet know.




i've spent time thinking of
the places i've been,
and the things i've learned
in the year that is near past.
i've started to plan
my dreamy summer trip.




i ripped the paper of presents.
i've picked up packages from the post box
and carefully slid cards
from pretty white sleeves.



i've sat on boats
that dock in wide births.
and i've closed my eyes
to enjoy the smells of home.
i've eaten things salty
and things pretty and sweet.






i hope your season was equally as nice.
xox, n.





ps:
tara, sylvie, jane, anabela, celine, and christina,
thank you ladies,
your words and packages made me smile. really.
