The Peace of the Wild Things

 The simple things. The smell of fresh garlic sautéing in the pan. Warmth of your bed as you're waking. Getting goosebumps at a concert. Puppy eyes, and it's tail asking you for pets. New experiences, the feeling of wonder and challenge. The "just one more page" stage of reading a good book. Surprise of a pink and orange sunrise or sunset. Focusing more of my attention and energy to present day to day joys this year. Feeling grateful for the expanding community I've been building here in Seattle, and how in just under two years, this beautiful, dark, hilly city has quickly felt like home. Happy new year from the PNW 💜
