I’ve already read a bit today and thinking about how movement seems to mean less reading and writing. I guess that’s where audiobooks come in handy. But also it just makes me think about how much you have to slow down to make art, write, etc.
Today I noticed how much I enjoy seeing the collection of images for all the blog posts together and how they give an overall impression same as my Instagram- always so much green. Nature.
I was also thinking about how sometimes my random reading choices mesh with where I’m at- like the essay I picked this morning is about orienteering and maps. I suppose it’s also that you can find your own meaning or parallels in anything you read.
Kiddo lost her first tooth today. She was very excited. It happened while watching the new live action How to Train Your Dragon and she might have swallowed it so was very concerned the tooth fairy wouldn’t visit.
The day also had a nice but windy morning walk, a visit to the coffee shop and book shop, sitting on the deck in the sun, watching birds, Pete got a mustache, we bought some fun new clothes, and had a nice cookout with family.
This post is so disjointed but I’m leaving it that way.
Today’s reading
