// Recent Reads, Finds, and Little Pleasures

Good morning, and hello Tuesday. Lighter reads, notes and finds from around the web I've been indulging in for my/our own inner calm, and regrouping moments with all the 'goings on' around us these days. And it's been quite tremendous. Stay safe and well, and let's make rest a high priority.

We are excited for our holidays! while quietly hunkering down indoors, at home (we're back in lockdown), and are looking forward to re-living the easy, breezy college days holiday pleasures experience: French club sandwiches, some chilled fun wine, and a playful dessert. Emphasis on quiet. pleasurable. 'fun'. Recent loved links and finds from around our web...

And I'd add to that, kind communication with each other. It's amazing how a day can go from waking-up-fabulous, to 'unhinged', to absolutely wonderful!, and within hours, all because of gracious communication with each other, and our confidence with the behind-the-scenes. No apprehensions or anxieties necessary. We're thankful for those who have, and continue to be there. It's been a fully-loaded 2020 for most as we now reflect on the year that was, and begin looking ahead to 2021. Hands down, count ourselves truly blessed when in good health, have our go-to Brilliants, and are happily engaged in work we enjoy. Life is indeed a gift. More recent and loved reads, fun finds, and little gifted treats...

It's safe to say (I'm thinking), that our young kids are fascinated by her and her vibrant British accent.
