There is no calamity so huge that there is not beauty and humor and joy to be had in the moments between actively working on solving or evading it.
Learning to take those moments, embrace the hell out of them, is what will make it all worth it, at whatever point you reach the end.

I’ve been cutting back on afternoon caffeine intake. Had a lovely cup today: 1 1/2 tsp. Rooibos, 1 tsp. chamomile flowers, and a pinch of dried rose petals (maybe four petals).
It was really tasty and the few rose petals blended nicely with the chamomile. Definitely recommend. ☕️ 😉
