Gratitude Journal 11-13-2025

 Things that have been making me feel happy:

coffee in the pot with good creamer to go with

new books from the library

cat warm in bed pawing at my face

company that makes me feel happy and full of love

grocery shopping

planning yummy meal prep

laughing with my belly

warm socks fresh out of the dryer

my favorite shampoo

new hairstyle

perfume that sticks onto my worn clothes

snow that melts away in the november sun

finding cat whiskers

getting fun mail from friends

buying stamps

telling people to have a great day

the oil tank still being nearly full

knitting

going for walks and waving at passing cars

wind that makes my cheeks flush red

new podcast episodes

paint and old paint brushes

pants that fit just right

big burritos

sauerkraut 

putting on chapstick

stretching

the smell of smoke from people's wood-burning houses

deer crossing my path

roasted veggies

car rides

trash day

freshly made beds

the geese that shit on my lawn

the color orange

WELCOME WEARY TRAVELERS

       To whom it may concern,       Welcome, first of all, to this little project. A diary of sorts...perhaps a place where one may find solace in the suffering, joy, and mundane that it is to be a human living in this year (2023 to be specific).      I write to you in my bed, which sits next to my tiny desk, within this student accommodation building located in Wellington, New Zealand.

Suddenly the brief vacation that Mom and I were having turns into an actual life I'm living. Woah! I don't wan't to necessarily slow down, I just need to catch my breath. As expected, the last two weeks of school destroyed my immune system. I can't believe humans weren't made to be working nonstop from 5:30-8pm every day. I'm sniffling and coughing a bit but that seems to be the only symptoms of this slight cold. Recap: had an amazing resi...
