A List of Very Good Things (pt. 2)

10 more additions to my list. Make your own. It’s a good exercise.

1. Taking your time. Not just taking what’s left like crumbs from a car seat, but reaching your hand out to take your time in your fingers and say hey you belong to me, remember?

2. New socks

3. Fresh and bright horchata. And taco trucks

4. The app “A Soft Murmur” which has amazing white noise sounds you can combine and alter to make a blend of noise all your own. I love thunder + rain + a smidge of cafe noises. Put that on for 30 minutes and I’m asleep. Put that on when I need to focus and I’m in the zone. Highly recommend.

5. IRL friends who remind you you’re not a burden or something to be endured, and parked car conversations

6. 12 foot tall skeletons

7. Dragging your finger along a chain link fence for 10 seconds

8. Internet friends

9. When I take Harry for a walk and he looks back at me with that giant doofus grin like this moment right now is the best thing he’s ever done. That’s medicinal.

10. Dino Nuggies.
