1. Show me how good it gets.

2. What’s the difference between the me then and the me now? It’s not that simple.

3. A constantly hot cup of decaf.

4. Lunch in the shade. A walk through the vineyard. The discovery of a bramble of blackberries in the back parking lot.

5. Picking flowers from the leftover arrangements underneath the stairs. A little bit of beauty everywhere.

6. “…see what happens when you decide…”

7. Tagliatelle with butter and prosciutto.

8. A short walk that turns into a longer hike.

9. When sunset turns everything into the colors of a vintage Polaroid.

10. I told her that I put it on 450 degrees, and she says, “dog.”
