Thoughts of the Day - June 16th & A Big Week in Sports

The USA Women's National Soccer Team wraps up their group play for the WWC tonight with a game against Nigeria. With a win they're definitely through, with a tie or loss it will depend on a lot of other factors and how others do. Hoping they just win and keep the path forward clear.

The Cavs also have game 6 tonight, back home in Cleveland. If they lose, they're done and the title is Golden State's, but if they win they keep it alive and return to Oakland for Game 7. I am still 100% #ALLINCLE and believe in them - they got this!

And last night the Blackhawks brought home the Cup! I'm not the best follower of hockey, I've always been a Chicago fan since Cleveland hasn't had a team in so long, but I like to keep up with how things are going and catch the games when I can, so I'm quite happy with that!

So it's been quite the couple weeks in sports for me! I'm a huge soccer fan and have played since I was 3, so the Women's World Cup was naturally very exciting for me and I've been enjoying it greatly. Fingers still crossed that the Cavs bring home the title, this city could use it and they've really shown what they can do, even without Varejao, Love, AND Kyrie.

But back to my thoughts of the day:

Thought #1: Sometimes I read a book and I love the ideas and creativity in it so much that it frustrates me how it's written. Like there's a great concept in it that I latch on to so much and find fascinating but just feel like the author didn't really do it justice as they could have. Does anyone else experience this?

Thought #2: I need to get back to taking pictures more often. I enjoy photography so much yet find myself pulled away from it far too frequently while trying to keep up with everything else in life. I need to get better at prioritizing what I have fun doing and helps me de-stress about that 'everything else in life' that I'm trying to keep up with.

Thought #3: I miss my long hair. I chopped 8 inches off a little over a month ago now and when I first did it I didn't miss it at all, but in this super-humid weather I'm so used to being able to braid my hair so it doesn't get all frizzy but I can't do that any more :( It is definitely much easier and quicker to straighten or curl it, but I don't often have the patience to do that anyway and with it shorter I have less options for how to put it up and out of the way. I know, I know - it will grow back.



I hope to get either my Quito or San Fran posts together tonight with some pictures to post!
