So… here we are, June.
The middle of this crap year is right around the corner. It seems like just as we’re getting over the next hurdle in this rolling dumpster fire, someone comes along and pours gas on the whole thing and we’re back to square one. It’s… demoralizing to say the least.
Then again, is it really that bad or is it just the optics?
But despite the bulls**t, I try to keep things in perspective. Find joy in the simple things and only fret about the things I can control. Life it seems always manages to find a way to move on.
As an exercise in positivity, here are 5 things this morning that are giving me a glimmer of hope:
My Nespresso Vertuo coffee sitting next to me.
Job security, while everyone else is worrying about when they can go back to work, I’m grateful to know that my job still needs me and would in fact arrest me if I consciously chose to say “No, i’m not coming to work.”
Envie! A Magazine for the Literary Curious (We just released our June issue!)
My loving wife and daughter, riding out this bullshit year with me.
My cat Rey, she slunk out of her hiding space to harass me for attention while writing this.
How about you dear readers? What 5 things are you grateful for this morning?
