Be with someone who enthusiastically supports you in your goals. I was 400 steps away from my daily goal at bedtime last night, so my husband cheerfully led me in a silly two-person parade around our house until I got them in.

I dearly love the sound of rain on my skylight.

The fact that you don’t appreciate it but are genuinely happy for those that do shows you’re a good human. A lesser person would just say it’s crappy music just because they don’t like it.

Happy International Cat Day to our sweet boy Ernie!

I love living in a town where I can be sitting on a bench waiting for a friend and randomly see other friends too. This feeling of community is one reason I can’t imagine living anywhere else #benchmusings

I just overheard a woman say to her friend, “but then I took a walk and had a snack and I feel like a whole new person!” and I can relate to that so hard.

Hello Financial Trauma, My Old Friend When I was in my late teens and early twenties, I was broke.

A new post about the long-term effects of being broke AF.

I was telling my therapist about seeing My Chemical Romance for my birthday a couple weeks ago, and she told me she was at the same show! Just more proof that Emo people are some of the best people out there.

Soup Dumpling Tuesday is quickly becoming a new tradition in our household.

My first world problem today is how fast the fruit I buy goes bad. 😏

Surely I cannot be the only person who has ever contemplated going next door and asking to use the neighbor’s bathroom because I just cleaned mine and want it to last.

Was hoping to have a hot girl summer but apparently I’m having girl with a head cold summer instead.

41st Birthday Celebrations Today, I am 41.

Mushy grateful birthday post incoming.

A show called Pickleball Court, but it’s set in Medieval Times and follows the goings-on in the royal court of King Pickleball.

This weekend was amazing. I met friends’ new baby and fell in love. I celebrated a four-year-old’s birthday. I spent time with a dog. I swam in a pool for the first time this summer. I truly love my life.

This is what America looks like.

Edmonds showed up. #nokings

Caption: No Kings Protest in Edmonds today! I am always inspired when I see my fellow community members come out in support of democracy. #NoKings

#NoKingsDay

Happy Pride Month! 🌈

Today’s lunch walk views.

Very pleasant morning walk.

A delightful unintended consequence of buying a new car is that I’m now more motivated to go to the gym because I get to drive said new car to do it.

You guys. My mom crocheted a blankie for Ernie. 🥹🥹

Current obsession breakfast: egg white muffins with veggies. Bonus points on this one because I can meal prep it.

When humans look at something we find beautiful it causes dopamine release in our brains & looking at plants shifts our brain activity away from fight or flight & into rest & digest mode.

I didn’t even cry in therapy today so I think that’s a sign that I’m starting to do a little better. #mentalhealthawarenessmonth
