today I...

• woke up to coffee and smiling boys
• heard the wild wind howl at the windows, though the trees
• sat for 15 minutes of meditation
• ate waffles
• finally made the unfussy apple cake (delicious & decidedly unfussy)
• nearly lost all hope & patience with my non-napping son
• gave myself my very first bang trim
• dropped off half the cake to a friend recovering from surgery
• got a much-needed chair massage
• drank a pumpkin spice latte
• wrote hard in this journal, then in this journal
• played Arcade Fire and Florence + The Machine LOUD in the car
• finished sprucing up the studio
• took a bath with my baby
• made Candy Cane Lane tea
• am so deeply grateful for my sweet hubby
• am still holding out hope
