Going went around saying 1 thing we hated...

I overheard half a sentence while running.
It’s pretty disappointing that I didn’t hear the rest. I think a pretty decent poem could’ve come out of it. I think they were neighbors. They were having a conversation by yelling at each other across the street. Not angrily, but just so they could be heard. “One of the best things about being old…” I was trying to overhear with utmost sensitivity but then a...

Switch what side of the bed your head goes - causes you to wake up in a whole new way. Instead of seeing my closet, I saw my window - blinding white fog.

Today was perfectly horrible
until I remembered I’m seeing Joshua Bell, famous violinist, in February. And then it got a little better. The key is having something to look forward to.
