1. I finished my ballot research as best I could and dropped off my ballot on Tuesday—and got text confirmation that it‘s been received & counted!
2. Cozy reading with comfy PJs, Jack-o-lantern quilt, cinnamon pumpkin candle, and cranberry cream tea
3. Developing some writing project ideas & sharing an excerpt at my writing group today
4. A Mary Oliver poem about joy shared by a friend (link in comments) ⤵️

A quick reread while my kids played at the park. I love this reminder to cherish the small moments and not just get caught up in work. “Life is made up of moments, small pieces of glittering mica in a long stretch of gray cement.”

Thank you my bestie! So much birthday love and I love the wrapping paper! You are the best and I appreciate your kindness 🧡🧡🧡

🎶 New album today from Josh Ritter, one of my musical favorites
🙏🏼 Spiritual direction training
🎹 Contemplative piano service
🌌I live too far south to see the Aurora, but I‘ve been enjoying pics from others!
🌪️My niece weathered Hurricane Milton safely! Her birthday is today, and she & her friend decided not to cancel their reservations at Disney this week. 😳🫣 She‘s terrified of tornadoes. She slept through the hurricane 😂

A delight . Simple and as one review said, naive. I enjoyed being reminded of the lessons he discovers about finding happiness. Published in 2011 , I see there was a movie in 2014.
