unabashedly uncorked: your daily dose of EPH!

A sweet friend introduced me to the world of a fellow blogger this week. I know- seriously Elizabeth? Why is this post-worthy stuff on this fair Friday? 

While I fully intend to fill my corner of the Interweb with my own versions my gingham ensemble and weekend plans at a later time, I just couldn’t help but sharing something with you all. 

This blogger [name withheld- for now] has been on the same journey as I. She took a beautifully optimistic approach to her version of loss. A fellow runner, a passionate health nut, a brunette, a football fanatic- suffice to say that we do share a few things in common. And after exploring her little blog over the past day or so, I happened onto something that I can’t stop thinking about. Throughout her posts, this gorgeous gal includes a daily high and low. We’re not talking anything miraculous here. Often it’s a low brought about by an unruly client [I’ve had my fair share of these!] or a rude Facebook post [haven’t we all!] or a high that includes weekend plans or a successful outdoor run. 

Think of it as one part Brooke’s Weekly Gratitude and one part Daily Inspiration as brought to us by Emily (c/o her Momma).

So here goes nothing- today’s [and my very first] high and low:

High: finding a very, very special piece of jewelry this morning. I thought I had lost this little token 2 years ago. Low and behold- I unearthed it this morning stuffed underneath an oversized, bright yellow flower pin in the corner of an accessory drawer. To say I’m ecstatic is a gross understatement. I may have cried just a little. What? I said it was SPECIAL!  

Low: a trip to the vampire Doctor this afternoon for more blood tests. Isn’t this over yet?! Can I reward myself with something bright and cashmere? 

There you have it. Really there is so much to be thankful for that my “High” list could go on and on. My favorite part- though- is the low. In allowing myself to «blergh!» vent and then close the book and move on to something happier. No use for clouding up an otherwise sunny day, right? 

How’s your day going? Have a high or low that you’d like to share? Happy Friday to you all!
