Learning about this icon per Marlowe Granados' newsletter recommendation and I'm obsessed- also Marlowe Granados' substack is a gem. It's mostly about being glamorous in our current times (hard to do)

Nervous system reset! Went for a long walk with a friend who lives nearby but doesn't visit often. Beautiful surprises all over the place (flowers, chipmunks, baby turtles.) We had an awesome time

At lunchtime I bought a huge orangeโ
The size of it made us all laugh.
I peeled it and shared it with Robert and Daveโ
They got quarters and I got a half.
And that orange, it made me so happy,
As ordinary things often do
Just lately. The shopping. A walk in the park.
This is peace and contentment. It's new.
The rest of the day was quite easy.
I did all the jobs on my list
And enjoyed them and had some time over.
I love you. I'm glad I exist.
that's all to say, I think it's the little moments. And the people, mostly. If you're open to crying, We Live In Time speaks to a similar sentiment. All we have is time! For me, when I focus on/appreciate moments and people, it puts things into perspective and takes pressure off. Also, capitalism is a trap. The powers that be are so afraid of us appreciating orange
