Someone said: Normalize celebrating this:

– a roof over your head
– a warm shower
– having clean water
– a day without pain
– moments of gratitude

These are blessings too.

Nobody prepares you for the fact that you will go through some of the most heart shattering experiences of your life and are still expected to show up for work. Take care of yourself. Pay your bills. Meet your goals. Just carry on… it’s awful

The teenager bagging groceries today asked if I wanted my bread on top.

I said yes.

He nodded seriously and said, "Good call. Structural integrity is everything."

Then he arranged my bags like he was building a cathedral.

His coworker laughed at him.

But my bread arrived home unpunched, my tomatoes unbrushed.

Sometimes the people who care too much about small things are exactly who we need.

Fossils of sea lilies can be found in rivers in England, and they were once believed to be fairy coins. They are also called "star stones" and are said to bring victory over enemies.

This time next week, British people won’t believe how dark it is.

[Badger @Bertrom]

I don't know what's coming next. It's so often a lonely journey trying to understand this world and all its contradictions, and to wonder if there is any truth, or any light I can aim for, that will give me comfort.

It’s that time again.
