Things that sparked joy this morning:
-The jolt of my bare feet hitting cool concrete
-My dog’s tail when he realized I was up, too
-The cup of coffee my husband left waiting for me
-Pictures flooding my family group chat
-Two eggs, sunny side up, on toast
-That inexplicable flicker of hope
-The jolt of my bare feet hitting cool concrete
-My dog’s tail when he realized I was up, too
-The cup of coffee my husband left waiting for me
-Pictures flooding my family group chat
-Two eggs, sunny side up, on toast
-That inexplicable flicker of hope
