Ten.One Thousand, Six Hundred & Two

1. Better today than yesterday.

2. I’m sad about the old start, but I like this new one quite a bit.

3. The soft glow of early morning.

4. Santa mug.

5. This is the gift of gratitude.

6. Pajamas secured. One extra for Pop-Pops.

7. The chipper is loud today, so loud, and of course, I have a call, an important call, but I stay put because this is the best light and the most comfortable space, and it somehow has to work.

8. “This is turning out to be a very good week,” I say.

9. Am I overreacting? No, I’m not. This is the convergence of the -isms and insecurity. Because, how dare I come into a space and be more successful than everyone else?

10. A forgotten Snicker’s bar for dessert.
