1. Morning walks. All the ones I went on this week were to the cemetery and around by City Park, so not a whole lot of pictures. The combo of snow and snow melt and cold temperatures made this route a better option than around the ponds or along the river. 

2. Good content. Books, podcasts, comedy, magazines, movies, tv shows, crafts, art, and music.

3. Practice. Helping me keep it together.

4. Tony the Tiger. I got to visit my favorite puppy this week. He’s just so sweet! It’s the first dog my friend and her family has had and they are so lucky they got him. There are just some dogs that you can tell right from the start that they are going to be the best.

5. My tiny family, small house, little life. We are going in a bit to get a Christmas tree. 

Bonus joy: mac and cheese, waffles, texting with Chloe’ and Chelsey and Chris and Mom, teaching at Red Sage, getting in the pool, clean sheets, twinkle lights, a soft oversized hoodie, poetry, my moon nightlight, cancelled plans, grocery shopping at 7 am when hardly anyone else is there, snow tires, new windshield wipers, medication and vaccines, Mulnix Animal Clinic, sunshine, naps, a warm shower, reading in bed at night while Ringo and Eric sleep.
