mason jars.

the uses for mason jars are endless. literally endless. today I thrifted a bunch, six medium sized and two large. I had a long hard day today. usually I'm pretty good about putting a positive spin on things...but today was long and it was hard...tomorrow will be better. I needed a pick me up this evening when I got home so I made myself a green smoothie. I can't control everything and things won't always go as planned, but I can control what I feed my body and that makes me feel good. oh and just so you know...smoothies taste better when you drink them out of a jar (use #1). were you aware?

seeds.

today I baked pumpkin seeds. I loved the smell of the pumpkin when I first cut it open, the feel of the gooey insides, and the taste of the seasoned seeds hot out of the oven. I love fall and all of the little seeds that come with it.

October.

although we're only half way in, October is and has been one of the best months I've had in a long time. in these short fourteen days I have been offered, accepted and started a new job position which will lead to a career that I've always wanted (and always regretted not pursuing). this has been a month of change. a month of self discovery and hard decisions. in short it has been a month to remember. the month I made a change.

change is good. when it is a much needed change it is great.
