I’m tired, too, and we have really similar incomplete lists. But your dog, what a sweet face. Hugs to you, friend. What a time this is.

This is an excellent list. I've seen several cyber trucks lately. I didn't flip them the bird. I'm sorry. That means I'm on the bad list. But I promise you, I thought they were assholes. Sending love... xo

I’ve flipped enough of them the bird that I have a surplus, so you are covered. You will never, ever be on the bad list. 💙

See? This is why I want you on the council of leaders in our micro country of love…

Love this one. I’m tired too and finding simple pleasures and joy in family, pets, friends, and neighbors who commit random acts of kindness. 💜

Random acts of kindness are my favorite. 💙

Only you, my brilliant friend, could make a literary masterpiece out of so many awful things… & only you could evoke a feeling of hope through that list because knowing someone feels what I feel what’s keeping me going.

Yesterday as I was coming through the foothills I could see a stupid cyber truck with flags coming down the hill in the opposite direction. Had plenty of time to roll down my window and throw an extended bird. It felt glorious. Car behind me beeped and gave me the thumbs up.

Beside you in all the things, friend. 🏳️‍🌈❤️

I can see it all in my mind. Wish I’d been there to join you in the extended bird flipping, friend. 💙

My heart hears yours, Katrina, as it SO often does. Returning to nature, animals and children are my life vests. Without zipping them upon my chest, I would feel nothing, nothing at all, and that is what frightens me more than anything. Your list are "Feels" that keep my heart beating. Thank you. Hug those pups! We are so sad without our Zuke, yet are SO very hopeful that after some much needed summer travel that Zuke will help us choose one another. Isn't that how it works? I believe so. Hand in hand, Heart to heart. 💜🪶🐾
