I’ve been paying attention to many details through our medical ordeal and making notes as we explore new spaces, new buildings, new tools, new words, etc. It’s helped me stay present and grounded.

Mmmmm this is good. I’ll be taking this prompt with me on the day of Bryan’s surgery. Thank you!

This is wonderful, Julie! I've been working on a forthcoming post about lists - it hadn't occurred to me to be so beautifully specific - my grocery shopping will never be the same again (in a good way!).
