Small Good Things

[forestofglory]

I am still struggling with my wrist pain and trying not to use my hand. However I am trying not to mope. So here is a list of small things that I have been enjoying recently.

* We've been having what I think of as typical Bay Area summer weather the last few weeks: Cool foggy mornings and warm sunny afternoons. I really enjoy it. The fog keeps it from getting too hot, but the afternoon sun means it's not too gloomy either.

*Tiny teapots: I can't use a gaiwan one handed, but I can use a tiny teapot! I have a few of these, which hold about 12 ounces, and I find them adorable.

*Mail! I really like getting things in the mail and I've gotten three things this week, two birthday cards and a postcard.

What little things are making you happy lately?

When we lived in Oxford, we lived at the top of a hill overlooking a huge field. At the back of the field was a stream encased in woods. And the fog would rise up out of the stream and roll over the field, and we'd be above it all up on the hill. It was lovely.

I'm sorry your wrist pain continues. *hugs*

The little things: reading a good book, watching a good show/movie, learning Korean and noticing my progress, meeting a stray cat that lets you pet them...

It is a staggeringly good year for peaches here. Or rather: it is a staggeringly good year for peaches somewhere south of here, and we've been getting them imported.

One of my former students finally defended and is leaving town at the end of the month but he made time to come visit me in person and that felt really good.

Hugs and solidarity on the wrist pain, bb.
