Writing is like driving at night in the fog. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.
—E.L. Doctorow

reading - affirmation, poetry, lyrics, books about organizing and moving
consuming - listening to an audiobook or a podcast most days
doing - small habits that add up. writing every morning and night. going outside every day. saying yes to all the things. doing local bucket list things like re-visiting the renwick (i love it there so much), karaoke in chinatown, going to a restaurant on opening night, going on road trips to maple syrup country and soon north carolina. rest is productive, over and over and over so the lesson is etched in
listening to - music every day, as a practice. the joy of a 'serotonin' playlist; 'my old jams' are a gold mine when thinking about thirteen albums to get to know me better. death cab/plans, james taylor/essentials i,
taking - good care
eating - crabcakes & asparagus, sliced apples, strawberries
drinking - water, bringing lambic to parties
sweating - packing!, moving, PT
annoyed by - packing!, moving!, how hot it is
excited about - packing!, moving!, A/C
