What are five everyday things that bring me joy?
Honestly? First thing(s) that come to mind are my wife, Cooper and Joy. And the kitties. Which aren’t things, so I don’t think it counts, but that is the first thing that came to mind.
My headphones. They bring so much to me everyday. Music. Podcasts. Inspiration. Knowledge.
Our TV. Funny to say, but it’s true. Liz and I comment on it all the time, how worth it that TV is. We use it literally every day. She’s using it right now to watch Coachella in the living room.
I’d say food, in general. I tend to eat the same things every day, and despite the fact I’ve mostly chosen those things because they’re all quick to make…they do bring me joy. I also chose them because I love eating them, and eating good food definitely brings me joy.
Our sliding door that opens from our bedroom to the courtyard. Oh, how I love that door. All the light it lets in. And when I can open it and take a nap. Heaven. I don’t get to do it every day because of weather, particularly when it gets too hot…but I do that every day I can.
This iPad. I write everything on this little machine. It’s my portal to anywhere I want to go, and its the instrument of my creativity. I love this iPad, and I’m so grateful for it.

Had such a wonderful meal with Kihong tonight. Me and Liz. Hayoung wasn’t able to come, but we’ll look forward to doing that sometime soon. We ate at sugarfish. Then had ice cream together. Randomly ran into Ashley and Chris there, which was lovely. So nice to see them. Got to catch up with Kiki, as Liz insisted we call him from the day we met him. A good dude. I really missed him. Hope we stay more connected this time around.
Took Joy for her annual vet visit. She’s doing great. Nice and healthy. Just need to do a little better brushing her teeth is all. So, we will. We’ll find a way to make that an everyday thing. Part of the routine.
Got in a nap. Whew. Slept a good solid hour, I think. And…bam. That was the day. Weekends should be three days, man. Two just isn’t enough.
Night night.
