Occasionally, the world – life does it, too, actually – acts and looks like it’s calm and regular and completely baseline, USA sliced white bread normal…
…but don’t you believe it, because it’s totally not.
😛
Here’s to the extraordinary as a baseline of living 🙂
Cheers

A step count isn’t only good when it’s a really high number…
You see, I not only took 25,000 steps (FitBit on the ankle to track them) today, but – and these are likely a bigger deal than those 25,000 – I took two big steps for myself and my life.
And it is way late at night right now for me just to have gotten home, but it has been a good day… a very good day. 🙂
And I am grateful dafür.

I guess it is because people once had little kids living in this house, that my bedroom door has the lock on the outside, but that doesn’t change the fact that my friend and I got locked in my room this evening while moving my furniture and stuff out of my mom’s house. 😛
So much for feeling like grown-ups after our brief scheduling chit-chat in my room. 🙂

Just to add on to what I shared last night, I share this bit of text message conversation between that same cousin and me today, following a photo she sent me via her mother’s phone.
……………..
Cousin: Phone has decided to stop working. Using mom’s for the moment. What do these look like?
Hannah: Almost like champagne glasses
Cousin: Quite bosomy. I had to get them for you
Tis admittedly a more generous bust than most.
I thought you might appreciate a cup size closer to your own. Most glasses are an A at best.
Hannah: Haha… Totally… I accept that idea. Personal champagne glasses.
…………….
Just another day in the life. 😀

The things we say in our family member text messages – things which, at the time, seem normal enough to us – never cease to amaze me… and today’s was no excuse.
We were looking for a reasonable Elvis wig in the costume shop, for a Catholic Life Insurance party this weekend, you see, and one wig was really rather good, minus the few mullet hairs in the back.
Simple, and totally normal, right?

That feeling when your mom asks if you’re going with her tomorrow, and she’s referencing an out-of-town trip that she never actually told you about…

Some days, it fails at three percent.
Still others, it fails you at 13 percent.
And some nights, in that hour of desperate clinging to hope, where the conversation is just right,
it holds on…
… even at one percent,…
… defying reality.

It’s weird to think that, two years ago from right now, I was first orientating myself in Tokyo, preparing to work in Japan…
Crazy how time and life fly…

… because, sometimes, I have multiple dreams in a row where Channing Tatum and I are totally buddy-buddy…, and it is totally on par with my beloved fancy gelato.
Maybe even better… (but that stuff is really good).

You know those people whom you find fascinating, and with whom you wish you could spend loads more time, so you could really get to know them?
Now, imagine one of those people, after having spent a short while hanging out with you and chatting with you about this and thats, saying to you that you are fascinating and that that person appreciates having gotten to spend some time with and learn a little more about you.
Feels good, doesn’t it? 🙂
That was my tonight.
