I Lost my Toenail

Surprisingly it didn't hurt as the nail was pulled back from the bed. The nail had already been separated from the bed for a while. This happened after a Big Sur backpacking trip. I think the strain of the hike caused pressure on the nail.

Hopefully it grows back soon. I'll miss it while it's gone. And pedicures. And open-toed shoes.

The Way Things Ought to Be

Had a conversation with a friend today that made me think, it's ok not to live every day like you're out to change the world. That's too ambitious.

Live your life in a way that is bigger than yourself.

And be grateful. Always be grateful. The power went out for a few minutes in my neighborhood earlier, and the minor inconvenience had me thinking about how terribly intolerable the entire situation was becoming as more time passed.

Living too well these days.
