Free Vintage Bingo Card

June 4, 2021June 3, 2021 ~ ginamakesit ~ 3 Comments

I love old card sets and games, so when I stumbled upon a vintage Bingo set (a COMPLETE set 😱 ) at a flea market a few years ago, I couldn't believe my eyes. A natural-born haggler, my mom instantly set out to score a good deal. The booth owner was not one to be … Continue reading Free Vintage Bingo Card

For the past few Fridays, my mom and I have been hitting estate sales and antique stores to build our stash of vintage goodies.

The seasonal drum continues to beat constant in my life with each sunrise and sunset, morning, noon, and night.
And here we all are, at once, with one foot standing tall and loyal in summer’s warm ray and the other foot carefully, tentatively, dipping into the golden ponds of autumn. On the edge of autumn is simply the best place to be.
I noticed a perceptible change this morning when I opened my eyes. The sun was younger, less alive than it was a week ago at the same time, not quite over the horizon, but not quite under it. The days, though still warm, have begun to noticeably shorten. The inky nights have started to lengthen and cool. The soft descent of summer has begun.
At the end of every journal, I like to write a letter to myself about where I’m at in my life and where I think I’m going. In my most recent journal, I started thinking about the idea of gratitude and how its meaning has shifted so significantly for me over the past few years. It’s interesting to note its evolution alongside the evolution of my own life and how it has paralleled the worries, the grief—and most recently, the happiness. It’s so clear to me now that gratitude is not something to have, but instead something to be. It’s an ever present mindset, a way to think, feel and ultimately live to fully experience the wonder found in each and every day.
Good morning from Illinois! ā˜€ļø
August is here and over the weekend I spent some time finishing my summer journal. I know, I know, summer isn't over just yet. But if you happened to follow along with me last year, you know my absolute favorite part of summer is approaching.
