over the weekend.

5 activities i did over the weekend:
- payed for a stranger's meal. i've always wanted to do it, and the opportunity arose while at starbucks!
- enjoyed the smell of turning the heater on for the first time.
- switched my closet from summer to fall/winter.
- broke out the fall boots.
- baked pumpkin spice cookies with white chocolate chips.

4 lessons i learned:
- i think it's okay to say what's on your mind, but make sure the delivery of your opinion is nice.
- research a book before you buy it. aka, make sure it's not laced with profanities. (ps: what is the point of using curse words? so unnecessary).
- being stuck in a photography rut isn't necessarily a bad thing. to discover new beauty is good for the soul.
- older people need to feel needed. throughout their adult lives, they have taken care of their spouse, children, etc. we shouldn't forget to let them know we still need them and their wisdom, even if they aren't as sharp as they used to be.

3 things i'm thankful for:
- having a warm bed to sleep in.
- taco soup on a chilly day.
- kind words.

2 things i'm currently diggin':
- feedly. it's an app that lets you have google reader at your fingertips. this has saved me a lot of time.
- kelly needham's bible studies. ladies, kelly is the real deal. her heart for the Lord motivates me to dive deeper into scripture and strive to know my Savior more.

1 quote from something i read:

"anything you feel you need to be happy besides Jesus is an idol."

"the myth of 'the one'" by kelly needham.
