"come morning light.." | 9 am.

"come morning light, you and i'll be safe and sound."

-taylor swift ft. the civil wars 

if you've hung around here for any amount of time, you've probably picked up that i have a thing for light (and bokeh). light captivates me in a way few things do. i can't help finding myself drawn to contrast and patterns, sunflares and sunspots, and golden hour.  however, usually late morning light gets passed by my eyes. it's much harsher and glaring than i prefer and i tend to brush it by and dream of golden hour.

well, one morning this week, i was on our porch hanging out some laundry and i finally found the beauty i hadn't been able to see before. 

and man, was it ever lovely. 

"the power of finding beauty in the humblest things makes home happy and life lovely."

it's been a while since i've actually sat down and wrote something on this little nook of mine. in fact, it's been a while since i've posted anything. (a month?!)
for the last few months, i've felt like i've lost my words. i'm not a super talkative person to start with, but i could always somehow manage to squeeze out what's in my heart onto a piece of paper. somehow, i feel like i lost that, and it takes effort and time to just sit down and make the words come. sometimes it's a struggle to even find the words inside, much less put them on paper. 
but,  i want to push myself more, especially in the creative sense. lately, i've been feeling so uninspired and my 365 project has become more like duty or obligation than a desire to create something beautiful.

but, i really want to grow a bit more in this space, so there will probably be some changes around here.

also, there are quite a few more of you around this space lately, so hi! i'm so glad you're here, be sure to leave a comment and tell me a little about yourself.
