Today I had some extra time and checked to see what posts I had in drafts. I found this list from 2023. Last year was an absolutely horrible year, but this list I made and then forgot about, it is good reminder of some of the beauty in the midst of the pain.
- Bristol Renaissance Faire, which I dream of daily
- Gay Six Flags
- Camping, a couple times!
- Climbing
- outdoors at the Red in Kentucky
- with my crew in the gym, for the first half of the year
- with my girlfriend because yes, she finally got into it and LOVES it
- top rope
- Year of Americana
- Patty Griffin
- Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit
- Ondara
- Hot dogs with Lucy
- Dungeons & Dragons
- Learning more about my neurodivergence, which has been a big focus for me
- Bonsai trees at the Botanic Garden
- Italian sodas at Botanic Cafe
- Training people at work (2024 update: former job)
- Writing on LinkedIn
- Friendship
- My therapist
- Reading again, a little bit
We’re over half way through 2024 at this point, and it’s been a delightful year overall, thankfully. Friendship and therapy remain core parts of my life. I’m going to the Ren Faire again soon, hopefully starting a new DND campaign this year, and drinking more Italian sodas than ever before.
