- going into work feeling like utter-shit…then getting the day off to rest & recover
- surprise visits and couchsurfing exploration (seriously, if you’ve never done it, check out that site. cheap way to travel and connect at the same time)
- new skirt that looks foxy with brown tights
- after a few days of feeling completely listless, waking up on Sunday morning with a renewed sense of (my version of) normalcy
- afternoon martini dates/pick-me-ups
- pumpkin pie martini and beet, chevre and candied walnut salad (feeling uber-swanky, if only for an hour or so…)
- raw, honest conversations (discovering a new layer to someone)
- after days of dull and grayness, a super-warm, sunny, summer-esqe day emerges (sitting on patios in a t-shirt)
- walk in the woods at Jackson Park (exploring, soggy boots, ice cold creek water flowing over hands, coffee with too much sugar, holding hands)
- buying chocolate bars
- reminiscing about new love and first points of connection
- yoga & meditation at the little yellow house, breeeeath and sloooow that brain down! (…exhale)
- stretching my body, sweating, shaky legs, but still able to pull off the moves! (result: achy shoulders. oops!)
- walking in the heavy rain when you know you’re on your way home and you can change into warm clothes right away
- meeting someone new, making plans
- disability theory convos (new ideas, shared ideas)
- new goal to start reaching out to more people again. yep.
xo.

One of my favorite things in life! 🙂
