Thursday

It was a magical day. I was reminded that one of the greatest treasures in life is friendship and that I am wealthy beyond measure.
I had my low moments today, which don't happen often so when they do my friends always seem to know the exact things I need.

For instance:

• a long lunch date
• a 4 mile bike ride
• a lonnnnnng hug
• a movie night with my brothers
• a good cry
• a heartwarming card
• a forever 21 gift card
• a good laugh

I've been blessed. That's all I can say.

addicted?

yup, I'd say so.

Wouldn't it be nice to run away to this lil beauty? 103-year-old Clingstone mansion set on a rock island in Narragansett Bay is owned by Boston architect Henry Wood. Even though the all-wood home with 360-degree view of the ocean is quite old and rough it’s still warm and beautiful. Three stories tall house features 23 rooms, 10 of which are bedrooms. Even though the house is quite expensive to maintain because of it’s made of wood, it still use modern technologies to cut pay bills. Solar panels heat the water, and a wind turbine on the roof generates electricity. Rainwater is collected in a 3,000-gallon cistern, then filtered, treated and pumped through the house for cleaning purposes. Besides that, Clingstone house use the latest technologies in filtering seawater and the most up-to-date composting toilets.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

—Mark Twain
