Smiles and Inspiration

The weekend is finally here, however on quiet reflection it doesn't actually feel that long since I felt my usual Friday evening euphoria. Oh time, you do play tricks with my mind! Today I had some seriously ditzy, laugh out loud at yourself moments. I don't know if it is an overworked brain, a long to do list, the sudden rush of inspiration I've had these past few days or the heightened excitement I am feeling as I edge closer to my birthday. Sorry to dwell on this upcoming event so much, but I feel like it is a significant milestone for me, the last year of my twenties. It doesn't hurt that I now have two packages to add to my envelopes and am being sent emails offering me free beauty products, bonus loyalty points and even a free smoothie; if only I was back in Australia to take up that offer. It is all very exciting and I feel incredibly loved. Back to all things inspiring, I have had a baking idea pop into my head. I don't want to Google the concept in case it distracts me from my visions, but I will need to Google a recipe for my idea. Where would we be these days without Google I wonder! All I can say for now is that it will involve the following newly purchased items courtesy of Winners and T&T Supermarket:    

The other piece of sudden inspiration involves travel. Sometimes it feels like you need a vacation after your vacation. I don't necessary feel this way right now, but I am moving on from my current employment in a few weeks. As such, I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to head over to the Big Apple for a self-imposed long weekend to see a dear old friend before I dive into new employment. This inspiration is actually quite impulsive and may not come to fruition, but it makes me smile just thinking about the possibility that it could happen. It would be visit number five and I really cannot get enough of that place; there is so much to see and do. Every time I discover new delightful things, whilst reacquainting myself with old favourites, like Lady Liberty. You can never really take a bad photo of her even with a point and shoot camera like mine:

I guess inspiration did know where to find me after all, thank goodness for that. Now I am off to embrace what should be a fun-filled, relaxing weekend.
