risen.

When I mentally prepare for a weekend at home, I can start to feel my body begin to relax. I read on Joanna’s blog that for some people – the planning stage before a vacation is the most relaxing part. I wouldn’t go that far, but I can definitely sense a happier mood in me the week before taking off to 78 and sunny. 

I shopped for Easter candy, went to yoga, arranged sparkly eggs, played with the dog, lunched with an old friend, got a trim, prepared an awesome Sunday brunch with my sister and celebrated one of my favorite holidays at home in Florida.
