IDK it’s not been a ‘favs’ kind of week, unless you count things like my bed, y’know? Well, okay, it’s not been a fav THINGS kind of week. There are plenty of things I’m still grateful for. In no particular order,
- Progressing edits on Touchstone. I was so nervous to dive into this and procrastinated on it for MONTHS, but I am having SO MANY brainwaves about how to make this book better that it’s actually super exciting.
- Relatedly, having TIME to work on edits. OMG. The luxury.
- The small pleasure of a cup of tea still.
- Being able to spend an entire day out of bed – not every day, but at least a few days this week š Sitting in my rocking chair in the sun is literally the meaning of life, wah.
- Water. Apparently I am thirsty at this exact moment and thus am feeling appreciative of the concept of water š
- Crystal Bunny, because obviously, she is always on this list.
- And also obviously, my friends and family and husband and kids who are just so lovely and supportive and wonderful.
- The chickens continue to lay, lil fruitcakes that they are; usually chickens lay over summer and take a break in winter but NO, my featherbrains decided that summer laying is for chumps and the minute the winter solstice hit they started laying and have been ever since? Loveable weirdos.
- Reading regularly – shockingly enough I’m finding that I can fall asleep more easily if I read for half hour or so before bed, and I’m finally getting into using my Kobo that I won back in January, and I’ve read like four books in the last month which is back to like, pre-burnout levels of reading? Which is amazing?
- The view out my window from my pink rocking chair, which is predominantly a black-glazed pot with a lil orange tree in it, currently full of both ripe oranges and baby oranges that are growing for next season. We loves it, our precious, we loves it.
Probably there is more, but also one of the things I appreciate right now is the ability to move according to the needs and rhythms of my body, and right now my body is telling me it’s time for a rest, so Imma call it quits here and go do that.
What are you grateful for this week? š <3
