here, it is friday night.

the wind is howling around my home. the rain drops are rattling against my window pane. it is a wild sort of beauty, one that i only notice now that i am inside, safe & warm & dry.

i find myself strangely uninterested in my photos right now. instead of worrying about it, i decided to embrace it. everything ebbs and flows in life. why should my interests be any different.

this morning, i asked myself, “what would bring me the most joy right now?” the answer involved christmas shopping. as a result, atlas and i went on a little adventure. atlas now has a bag of dog treats and a new collar. i found some christmas presents. i feel a million times better. (i think we both had cabin fever.)

if you were here, i’d make you a mug of tea and ask you how you are. not out of politeness, but because i have time to listen and i care. i do care and i am interested, if you would like to share, whether it’s here or in my email.

may your weekend include moments of peace and joy.
