I’m on a break from podcasts. I’ve unsubscribed from as many emails as I can. I’ve been a little bored and the more I take away, the better I feel. I donated (another) fitbit to Goodwill and put my old analog watch back on my wrist. I wore my new windbreaker today as I hiked through the Tappahannock Wildlife Refuge. It’s a simple thing, but I love that the windbreaker is a petite size so that I don’t have to roll the sleeves up 4 inches. I had the Refuge all to myself and the crisp fall air took my breath away—both by way of awe and exertion. I have no big plans, nothing much to do. My heart quickens because I know these are the conditions for me to thrive. I am happy in this moment. It’s been a long time coming.
