Scenes From The Weekend

On weekend mornings, when I walk into my kitchen and see the light dance across the table, it's not unlikely that I'll pause and daydream for awhile. While walking to the train after work on Friday, I looked up and saw the top of the buildings on 33rd and 7th glowing a glorious golden hue as the sun began its descent. In the moment, I wondered if anyone else spotted it too. So often we're all rushing from one place to the next, caught up in our own heads, and subsequently failing to notice or appreciate our surroundings. I'm trying to be better about it.

I yearned for quiet this weekend. I mostly cooked and read and wrote. A few long walks outside in the gorgeous, Spring-like weather made me positively giddy. I skipped alongside Tiho as we wandered from the local toy shop to the grocery store and finally, the bakery, for a cup of coffee. I candidly set the following professional goal for myself: in three years time, I want to be sustainably self-employed. I don't always possess the confidence or discipline I know is necessary to make this happen. Also trying to be better about that.

For now, a new week, plus a few articles worth checking out if you're interested:
