Relief

Have you ever found a spot of something on your wrist and without thinking licked it off only to be relieved that it was in fact melted chocolate and not something else--something horribly, horribly unlike chocolate?

Sometimes it's very nice to have moments of relief--when you find yourself content with all the things around you. I've been really overwhelmed--to the point of not quite knowing how to handle it all--by all the things I'm blessed with in my life. It's very easy to feel grumpy, to feel lethargic, to feel standoffish. It's perhaps even easier to go outside and sit on a bench and realize how silly you are for feeling sorry for yourself.

Also, I planted 3000 scallions this week.
