seize us.

Posted on June 23, 2022 by beth

so fun surprising my friend who loved being surprised fully embracing the moment

“the moments of happiness we enjoy take us by surprise. it is not that we seize them, but that they seize us.”

Always up for a surprise to be taken out of the day-to-day routine of life…sometimes surprises can be difficult to pull off, but always worth it when they do come together.
