This is the perfect example of the kind of writing I love the most... words that make me appreciate what I already have more deeply instead of making me feel like I need or lack something.
Very good list! I like a strong back and 'm adding to mine being able to lift a 40-lb bag of dog food and dump into the bin without so much as a strained grunt
A lovely list to have for guidance 💖 “cats, plural” made me smile while one of my cats kneading biscuits on my stomach and now is curled up happily by my feet (this weekend I gave them extras of their snack food, so they’ve been in a good mood). And I love “my treat!” also! It’s so nice to able to treat your friends and family.
Oh, this is what I needed today. Thank you so much for your beautiful words and for sharing your version of success — it's making me reflect on my own, and boy, is it beautiful.
That image of the red succulent turning green got me. I’ve felt that shift too, thinking I was thriving until life handed me better conditions and suddenly I was actually alive. It’s wild how much of our “success” stories are just survival stories in disguise.

Yes to all of this. Now I'm getting curious about my own list (which would also no doubt breed a fatherly side-eye).
Happy break! Breathe in that high mountain air for those of us down below.

Enjoy your break! I hope it's filled with as many things on your list as you can possibly squeeze into a too-short summer.
Certainly going to try!

I am such a natural grunter, and I'm trying to stop because W3 has started to imitate it lol

Both such joys
If no one would ever know you had it, would you still want it? Wow. Bookmarking this one.
Loved this one.
🥰
Ha! I also call them "heat seaters" every. single. time. With that same: "wait..." 😂😂
lol I LOVE that

Great line. And so true.
Enjoy your summer break!!
Thank you!!
Success is such a funny beast. I'm feeling successful these days, but I think it's also partly in how I define it now!
Feels like I'll be redefining it, always
In the midst yet again of redefining what success means to me and even though it’s frustrating, I gotta say, it also feels so good. 🩷
I love this so much, Kelton. I think my definition of success has now become to do whatever it takes to let love flow through me more freely.
I empathize with this deeply. I went to work for myself 7 years ago and it’s really challenging. It was
so difficult to start and it remains difficult to maintain.
Also ugh sorry answering comments while childing and I accidentally deleted it 😩
its okay!!
