I find myself too short of time again this week to write anything I’d originally intended. This might continue to be the case for the next month-or-so. In lieu of anything more elaborate, I’ve decided to share a small catalog of simple joys that have sustained me this week:
My mom sent me a text of something funny my nephew said, and it made me laugh
I got to introduce two of my best friends to each other
My desk faces my front window, so I’ve been able to watch the beauty of this week’s snow storms from the warmth of my house
I got to talk to one of my sisters twice this week
A friend made me a delicious salmon dinner on Monday
I had a bizarre dream a few nights ago where I discovered a child on the road who told me he’d been transformed from an elephant to a human by magic because he wanted to know what it was like to live in our world. It ended up that he hated being human, and then he persuaded me and a bunch of my family and friends to become elephants with him instead. We all turned into elephants and just roamed around together, and I woke up feeling very happy.
I caught up with several of my best friends from high school and reconnected with another former classmate who I didn’t get the chance to connect with much back then
I watched the second season of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK to decompress in the evenings, and it made me very happy
Today, I spotted a bright red cardinal in a snow-covered tree, and it gave me a big grin
Many of my plants have lots of new growth that I love to see when I water them in the mornings
One of my sisters sent me a video compilation of a day with her daughters that filled me with joy
I got to chat on the phone with one of my favorite cousins for awhile yesterday
I’m hoping to write other things soon but also satisfied with the chance to share these happy moments for now.
Until next week,
Josh
