Vietnamese fresh spring rolls. One of my favourite lunches ever and I’ve found a little lunch bar close to home that makes them.
Rediscovering the treadmill at the gym. Not as painful or as boring as I feared thanks to those great Aaptiv audio-guided runs. Love the treadmill and my Airpods – they’re a power couple and definitely better together.
Perspective and self-reflection. I’ve been cruising along with my happy and safe little life for quite some time now. Which is all well and good but happy and safe aren’t always conducive to personal growth. It’s taken turning 44 to appreciate the importance of occasionally looking back on life in order to learn from the past, process it but also to marvel at how far you’ve come in spite of it.
That final point about marvelling at your own progress has been lost on me until now. Self-love is required in order to be able to love and serve those around you. Self-love radiates contentment and happiness. Self-love conquers fear and uncertainty. Self-love is strength.
Coke No Sugar. There are afternoons at work when this really is the beverage of champions.
Finding leftovers in the fridge. Especially when they come together to make a pretty impressive school night dinner for minimal effort.
It’s the simple things.
