Something like living in The Upside Down right now – living in between is a particularly challenging place to be. For now, we wait. I focus on the Good Things that I can notice. Gratitude for the small things today:
- Deep red mums from Trader Joe’s.
- Wilting yellow mums from Trader Joe’s that I’m not ready to let go of.
- A friend arriving to *Do The Thing this afternoon with a quilt to finish.
- Another friend missing our weekly *Do The Thing today because she had to replace a painting at a gallery (because she had sold the one hanging there!)
- A home sewn mask from Sondy.
- Waking at first light, and sitting for an hour with a book.
- The promise of a new hat, from a friend who knits.
- A very large iced tea. Very large.
- Prepping for new team members at Ompractice!
- Emergency Pizza from my Farm Share.
- My heated blanket from Target. (Bertram agrees.)
- 50 something degree weather after a few days dipped in the 30s.
- The cover of the Invisible Life of Addie LaRue (and generally this season in book covers.)
- Writing a “reading benefit” policy for my company.
- Seeing one of my Wellesley sibs win her race! Go Shayla!
- Finishing up my elections course at Rice this semester tonight – thankful for the opportunity to learn with Caroline and her whole family of lifelong learners.
- Maple Sugar Candy.
- Taking myself to bed before midnight.
Get rest, my friends.
xo, Sam
