The Cost Of Living
To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.
— Arundhati Roy, The Cost of Living

Hey y’all! It’s finally Fall for NorCal. Crisp 53F mornings.
My friend convinced me to do StepBet. I really do not like games like that but I agreed because I needed to resume a daily run routine and I wanted to support her. I’ve been at it for 2 weeks. She dropped out day 4. 🙄
My anxiety has been off the charts with my job. Understaffed so I’m picking up all the extra work for the entire team. No relief in sight before mid Spring. I’d make a lateral move but the grass is not always greener. So I guess more running will have to do.
Hall🎃ween is almost here. Time to kick off the holidays. I’m traveling in November and December. I’m finally going back to Europe after 4 years.
Keep going, Bunnies. It feels heavy now but we will persevere. Find joy in the little things. Eat the warm bread. Listen to the wind. Smell the rain. Feel the cool morning fog. Watch people and their pets from a cafe. Drink coffee while the sun comes up. Rest your mind and soul often. You deserve it.
💋

If we want gardens, we must become the gardeners. If we want love, we must be loving. If we want change, we must alter our own course. If we want connection, we must reach. If we want place, we must be steady. If we want home, we must nurture a house. If we want to love who we are, we must become who we most respect and admire.

finding joy in the little things in my quiet life makes me a little less sad. i love going to the library, i love drinking tea out of my favourite mug, i love reading, i love it when my favourite song comes on, i love walks, i love long bus and car rides, i love cold winter mornings on the bus to school, i love photographs, i love drawing or painting, i love doodling in class, i love writing, i love observing.
i love loving the little things in life.

Quote
The less you eat, drink and read books; the less you go to the theatre, the dance hall, the public house; the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you save-the greater becomes your treasure which neither moths nor dust will devour-your capital. The less you are, the more you have; the less you express your own life, the greater is your alienated life-the greater is the store of your estranged being.
Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels

Just a little note to whoever needs it - I am happy that you have completed each day until now. Keep moving forward. ~ I know that you can do it.

Why does no one ever want to talk about their day?!
It's always "fine" "good thx" "nothing really happened, I was just at work/school all day".
Like COME ON. I want to know every single detail!
I take joy in so many litte things... the way the light highlights the rain. When I find a great new song. My lunch. A comfy chair. The bus taking a detour. Someone playfully teasing me.
I often get playfully teased over how excited I get over mundane stuff.
Where are the other people that feel everything?! The people that celebrate every moment of joy?!
I'm tired of people acting like something big has to happen to be interesting or bring joy. There are little moments of joy sprinkled throught out the day, FIND THEM!
Idk... maybe it's because I felt so low for so long that I learned to appreciate feeling happy?

Life is a never ending journey... until it ends. It's okay if you're still working out the kinks.

Our life is not as pitiful as you'd think, so long as we find joy in every hour.
