At an everyday level I would reckon myself more than fortunate.

~ It's half way through the week. That's good 'cause I'm that bit closer to my leave, not so good 'cause still no sign of the necessary paper. Focussing on the good, good, good.
~ Turkish Apple Tea - a very thoughtful gift brought back from Istanbul for me by a colleague. Not actually tea but a lovely refreshing, slightly tart apple-flavoured drink - delish! He also brought me two of my favourite edible treats - fresh Pistachio Turkish Delight and rich, nutty, honey-soaked Baklava. Mmmm... knows me too well I fear.
~ This little bird is preparing to move to a new nest in the next month or so - date to be confirmed soon. Very exciting and long overdue. A space all to myself. Every day. I also can't wait to collect and unpack my goodies from storage, including my pretty Turkish tea glasses.
~ Browsing back through old notebooks and reflecting on the journeys they represent - looking at new notebooks waiting to be filled...
~ Being reminded by browsing on Flickr why I need to play with my camera indoors more. I haven't taken a single photograph this week but I'm inspired by the everyday loveliness above to take some shots later.

Looks like a busy and exciting time coming up for you. I do hope that your passport arrives in tme. You sound very calm about it. How very, very exciting to be getting your own place, and even more so to be reunited with your belongings. I know what that's like, as I'm missing our stuff that's presently in Seweden, and some in the UK! Maybe we just need to settle down and decide where we'll be for the next few years.
Hope the passport arrives soon, now in fact!
there's something very comforting about spiral notebooks.
i love a notebook. i am a compulsive buyer of notebooks some of which i am unable to even use!!
Oh, that document must arrive now!! I just unearthed my old passport - yippeeeee - valid to 2015. Now I must just decide where to go and then earn lots of money.
what I would do for a bit of baklava right now...
The passport will arrive just in the nick of time- there will be sunshine on the peninsula- you will not have snoring neighbors and all will be well- I just posted something off to you yesterday- PO is a snail but I hope you get it before you go on your little holiday, which you sill d, because the papers are being sent this very minute!
DANG! that was "will do"... and you will...do!
all very lovely, indeed.
tea, notebooks, birds, all some of my favorite things
Isn't everyday loveliness the best?
Counting your blessings is always refreshing! Lots of excitement in store for you.
Love your photos and the list! I totally get the notebook bliss! I feel the same way!
Lovely pictures and a great list. I understand your notebook fascination too. I love pretty notebooks, used and new. They're so hard to pass up! I hope your passport arrives soon!
Lovely, beautiful things! Oh, Kendalee, I REALLY am commanding the universe that your passport arrives TODAY. Do you realize at Artfest you will be just a short ferry ride away from where I live?? xo – g
Dear Kendalee, what a beautiful and inspiring space you have created here! Your spirit really shines. Hope your travel plans work out for you! :)
A new place? Sounds divine - to unpack boxed treasures and nestle in to a new space.
Still have my fingers crossed!
