Carrying On

In 1939 the British Government designed a poster reading "Keep Calm and Carry On" to keep up morale during World War Two. I have loved the saying for years for it is such a too-the-point and almost sterilised way of addressing unpleasantness.

I am coming off the high of a whirlwind, four-day weekend.

I took off on Thursday to have some minor repairs done in my apartment in the morning, then have the floors professionally cleaned in the afternoon. Friday, my darling friend Toni arrived in the early morning and she and I ran around town until 6 am Sunday morning when I dropped her off at the airport.

In the interim of our wonderful madness, she gave me a necklace she MADE just for me! A Keep Calm and Carry On necklace. And I just adore it! I seriously think Toni should open a shop on Etsy and begin selling her creations. What do you think?

I have worn my lovely necklace for the past three days and it makes me happy every time I get a glance of it.

Life, as beautiful as it is, can be hectic and difficult. We get wrapped up in worry, drama and silliness. It's nice to have a reminder to focus. To Keep Calm and Carry On.

I have many more reunion weekend tales. Please stay tuned.
