Terumi Pong Seattle Family Travel & Life

I feel like maybe Terumi and the Sun could be the theme for my October so far as we’ve had more than our usual share of roof off car rides and rain free bike trips through the city-the days have been pretty sunshine filled and glorious.

There is leaf potpourri (doesn’t that word take you back to when we had @thebodyshop vanilla perfume and teeny whimsical shaped pearly bath beads and little bowls of dried flower petals in bathrooms) and the last of the summer flowers and while the dark feels like it’s more than the light in the day don’t you still try to soak in all the sun that you can? (Maybe especially it you’re also in the Pacific Northwest. Don’t you feel like a zombie robot if you don’t get outside between the morning dark and the night dark too?)

We saw @klaraandthesunmovie last night thanks to an early preview from @alliedglobalmarketing and I thought it was such a beautifully done film and one of the best ive seen in a while and maybe it’s because I believe so much in the value of sunlight to our souls. I didn’t read the book it’s based on yet (and maybe it’s better not to do that first if you have the choice-the critics that did not appreciate this movie as much as I did all seem to have read the book before the film so i really want to hear what you think if you end up watching it too) Thank you @lavonnelong for also letting me know it’s also an audiobook because I’ll definitely try to “read” it next when I’m waiting at soccer like where I am now by the field in the dark. (Listening to Hollow Bones by @jodipicoult which also feels like a cant-put-down-cant-stop-listening-to read )
Also soccer is one more thing that is so much better in the sun.
(And did anyone go see @sarabareilles at the Paramount, I so wanted to go to this concert. ❤️)
