“If it’s cute it’s gotta be sweet, and you just can’t have too much sweetness…” or something to that effect, from one of the best films ever, The Talking Heads’ True Stories.

Resting
Wren doing Arts & Crafts at doggie daycare yesterday. I’m grateful today that we both got to rest at home. I napped in the morning, I napped in the afternoon, I showered and rinsed my achy nose; I read, ate, read, talked with people; I rested all day and now it’s time for bed. I actively appreciated so much of what I did and didn’t do today. Namaste.
Massage
I’m grateful today for the first massage this tired body has gotten in more than three years. Nuff said. Hydrated and off to bed 🙏 ♥️🌺
Chicken Soup
I’m grateful on this cold rainy day for the ingredients and ability to make chicken soup; for the stove and fuel to heat the burner and for the pot; for the fragrance wafting through the house; and for a friend to share the soup with.
Company
I’m so grateful today for heartwarming company, companionship, my old friend Sean come to visit for a few days. With his blue parka and his regional whiskey and his compatible heart. A friend like this doesn’t come around every day, especially not during a pandemic. I cooked an awful dinner and we laughed about it. Grateful for another opportunity tomorrow.
Bacon
My guilty pleasure. I can’t think about where it comes from. Though I do buy local ‘happy pig’ bacon when possible, and otherwise the most ethical available. Which isn’t very. This is why it’s a guilt trip for me; and an indulgence.
When I want bacon I manage to automagically separate the food from its origin as a sentient being. My mind disassociates. Today I’m grateful for the first batch of homegrown jalapeño poppers. So simple, so delicious.
Apples
I’m grateful for my tiny crop of small Fuji apples, which I rescued the other day from magpie predation. This morning I turned most of them into this Jewish apple cake for Boyz Lunch. Not simple but so delicious.
A Night Off
Something is awry with my WordPress account, which I will endeavor to sort out tomorrow. Indeed I cannot upload not one more photograph! Too bad, because I have a great image of Wren nose to nose with a big cucumber, and some other unbelievable images from today! Just kidding. But grateful, as always, for every living moment of this day. Wishing you well ♥️.
