::inspiring Mondays::

flowers on the balcony
This week LMJ does not have the privilige of a four day weekend, so inspiring Mondays actually come out on a Monday. Hoorah for normal service!
 
I love the sea. I love going to the beach any day any time of day. The sound and smell of the ocean make me happy and appease me. I could go on, I lived by the sea 26 years of my life, 7 of which only 10 minutes away. Landing at Porto airport when I go home, I smell home, that familiar scent of the sea so close by! I miss night fires at the beach and blushed faces, midnight swims, and the taste of salted skin.

I went for a minimalistic style this Monday. I'm feeling minimalistically happy, even if that is not a word. I could replace it with simple. I could. But I won't. 
 
How are you this Monday? Inspired? Minimalistic? Happy?

    YAY, there you are, right on time! 🙂 I love this photo Joey: because its minimalistically perfect. Yes, I do like this word, or no, in fact, I LOVE it :)How I am today? Happy to read your beautiful words, which make me visualize things and dream about the ocean and an Indian Summer which is hopefully coming soon :)xxx

    the photo is minimalistically peaceful. love it 🙂 my Monday is a very special one: my younger sister is in Portugal and she will only go back to London the 12th. tomorrow is her birthday and its going to be a friends and family reunion like I dont have for a long time. I know what you mean about the sea, Ive never lived away from it and I guess I would miss it too. there is nothing like the ocean fresh air on our face. Im also happy because your Inspiring Monday is on 🙂 xoxo

    As you know LMJ, I didnt have the best of Mondays, but reading this cheered me up. I would love to live by the sea, its on my wish list. Youre pretty lucky to have had 26 years of it – Ive had over 30 years stuck in almost the furthest place in England from the sea!!
