i think it really helps if you can thrust your face into the sun first thing in the morning.



this has been a bit tough of late for several reasons 2 years ago

1. lots of procrastinating going on in many areas of life, leading to an uneasy feeling upon awaking.

2. numb thumb. (Yes, I definitely DO want to get it checked out. Am waiting for health insurance. I hope that’ll be soon.)

3. Worrying. about pretty much everything.

4. weird sleep/work/eating habits of late.



Today this was simultaneously hard and simple... 2 years ago

I was still feeling the residue of existential sadness from yesterday… (the kind that comes from no specific source but is quietly draining)

but then, the clear sunlight coming into the apartment, the coffee in bed with the New York Times, and then the dragging myself over to the garden to throw my smelly compost scraps into the communal compost bin—all that helped improve the attitude to something much more approximating outstanding.

twasn't so hard today 2 years ago

because…

A. Woke up early. Not because couldn’t sleep. Not because of noise. Just because I was done with sleep for the time being.

B. Glorious early fall weather.

not quite up to OUTSTANDING yet 2 years ago

but am at least at “Alright Day, here I come, hope you’re a good one…”
