We ran the arboretum 10k today. It’s the farthest I’ve run in a long time and that feels good. The weather was cool enough, the volunteers were all so merry, and Gaga, Grandpa, and kiddo all cheered us on.
I’m writing this post while in bed listening to Pete read The Hobbit to kiddo for her bedtime story. It makes my heart feel full.
Today’s reading
Poem: Snapdragon by Kevin Young 2024?
Essay: A Girls’ Guide to Saudi Arabia by Maureen Dowd 2010
Short Story: Summer of Light by Jonathan Coe 2023
I enjoyed all the reading today. The essay was an interesting if frightening glimpse into what life is like for women in Saudi Arabia. The short story also deals with navigating the world as a woman. I think the poem is about choosing life and I like its cadence.
