day 3

*watching my cats have a staring competition

*baking two huge, moist, lovely carob chocolate cakes while singing along to the radio

*licking frosting off a spoon

*playing hide-and-go-seek with a dead cellphone

*that satisfying feeling from washing, hanging, drying, folding, and putting away an Everest of laundry

wage a battle against embitterment and take part in 365 days of Grace in Small Things.
