love

"We want to be seen … seen for who we are, darker sides and all. We want to be felt in that way that someone is so connected to us that when we feel pain, they feel it for us, too. They can empathize, and we find relief in knowing that we have an ally."

What a great quote about what we really want from our loved ones.

morning bike date

I love the photo of this bike! It reminds me so much of my cruiser, just not quite as dreamy looking as this one. Everyone has been talking about bike dates and I have to join in. We have a bike trail right near our house. It used to be a train line so it is nice and flat which I like. I hate riding on the street, so the having the bike trail is perfect. I love how everyone is so friendly on the bike trail. It seems to put everyone in a good mood to go out and go for a ride. After we ride the trail we go to Panera Bread and have a breakfast souffle. It has to be one of the most delicious things that you can get at a chain restaurant. So yummy and a perfect end to a lovely morning date!
