Hellos are probably my favourite thing. I love the rush before seeing someone you haven't seen in months (and the hugs that accompany those kinds of hellos are always the best kind).
I miss blogging. This blog has enabled me to preserve moments I may have otherwise forgotten and I'd like to continue documenting for as long as possible. There's something comforting in documenting your life, the small things that make you pause for a moment to smile or think. For me it's those small moments that define me in some way, those thoughts that I'd like to remember dwelling on, those photos of long sticky summertime days that I'd never like to lose.
Toronto in the summertime is magical to say the least. The past month I feel as though all I have done is walked (to the neighbourhood Starbucks). I forgot how amazing it is to leave my house at eleven at night and go for a midnight stroll. You can hear people chatting on their porches surrounded by candles, sprinklers whirring and the sound of cicadas on really humid nights. I have taken up running (please read: I have attempted to take up running) and am quite enjoying it (please read: am quite enjoying the thought of becoming a pro runner).
In just a few weeks my family and I are going to one of my favourite places in the world, a cottage on Thunder Beach. I can't wait. Then it will be AUGUST. The summer is going by way to fast. Soon I will be moving into University. I am so nervous but so, so excited at the same time.
Now for a list: The things I miss about England.
This child:
the train stations
and going to the coffee shop every morning & being greeted by all the Coffee Shop Boys.
After a month of stepping away from this blog, I am ready to continue to update it regularly to capture those seemingly insignificant moments that so often pass me by without being recorded.
Aw Gater this is so lovely!!!
