One of my non-negotiables is recreation. I make time for fun and joy. It doesn’t always unfold perfectly ’cause life is not a linear process, but it sure is worth the effort. 

Today I’m sharing shorts. The hot season is back, and I am ready for it. Coming from the Caribbean island of Trinidad & Tobago, with its year-round, hot weather, shorts were a staple.

So after a long and stressful winter, these legs are screaming for the sunshine. That smile (behind the mask) says it all. Light at the end of the COVID tunnel.

It’s safe to say I’ll be rocking shorts until my legs can’t hold up anymore. And even when they can’t hold up, I’ll be sitting in them, just not denim.

This gorgeous hydrangea I went shopping for in my shorts have found a home on the front entrance.
