The Color Purple--and Pink

I fell in love with the Lillie Belle Farms name first,
then the lavender packaging,
then the caramels.

Must go to sleep. Fun today, and family, but almost four hours car travel all told.

But there is a new ruffly Tory Burch cardigan sweater in Blossom Pink with silver buttons under my roof--marked down from $250 to $59.99, snagged on expedition to Woodbury Common outlets with boot camp friends. Have read recently that wearing pink cheers you and everyone else around you. I like that.

Grateful for friends, family, work, my homemade red valentine taped to the front door, a teddy bear left on the stoop for Figgy--and a little box of four Lavender Fleur de Sel Caramels from Lillie Belle Farms in Oregon, via The Chocolate Path in Montclair. Oh, and Mountain Man, three women in harmony, a great band I heard on the radio. Their beautiful music kept me awake tonight as I drove the Garden State Parkway.

The road ahead is still unknown but I am making a conscious decision to stop, breathe deep and take it one day at a time. At least I will have a nice sweater to wear when facing the wind and cold.

Good night.
