I’m feeling a little mad today, but for no particular reason. Do you have those days? I do, occasionally. I probably didn’t eat enough, or ate the wrong things, or didn’t drink enough water. Anyway, I was feeling kind of mad, so I thought I’d capture some things I’m grateful for today.
- Making coffee. Now that I take Adderall I can’t really drink caffeine in the morning, otherwise I feel very weird. I picked up some decaf because it turns out that I enjoy the ritual and the smell most of all. I made a flat white this morning, and it made me feel great.
- Driving my wife. Only to the BART, but it’s something I like doing for a couple of reasons: it’s a few minutes to chat at the beginning of the day, and (because I didn’t learn to drive until years later than my wife) I’m slowly repaying my sizable passenger prince debt.
- Looking at the stars. I took our dog Cacio out for a late night walk, and the sky was so clear. I spent half of the walk staring up at the sky, and it felt as though I could see so many more stars than usual. There’s nothing better to put a day and life into perspective.
- Our happy dog. Several times today, and right before sitting down to write this post (with her now sat next to me), I turned around to find her smiling at me and ferociously wagging her tail. It makes me so happy every time, and reminds me how grateful I am for her.
